    Detroit style
    Jill B.

    Best Detroit style pizza I have had. We ordered cheese and cheese/pepperoni pizza. They put the perfect amount of cheese on top with a delicious sauce and yummy crust. The service was quick. We called and ordered curbside takeout. As soon as we arrived, they came out to the car. Highly recommend.

    We had been seeing this place pop up on my feed for a while, so when my friend group and I were in Detroit we wanted authentic Detroit style pizza, so this was the obvious choice. We made sure to get there right when they opened and there were already people trickling in and the waitress mentioned the locals come so regularly it's basically a habit at this point. We ordered three different pizzas for 4 people. They have premade options but you can also build your own with toppings. Everything was delicious and exactly what we expected from Detroit pizza. The inside has this really fun retro vibe with wine bottles decorations. It is a great place for any occasion, families, date night, a big friend group, or even coming alone for a bite. Would recommend if you're in the area and want the real deal.

    Loui's was a childhood favorite of mine, but I hadn't been in years! We ended up going on a Friday night, and even though the parking lot was absolutely packed, we ended up getting seated right away. The ambiance is exactly as I remember it being. Cozy, familiar, and casual, and the staff was nice and welcoming. I ended up ordering the small cheese, pepperoni, and mushroom pizza with a side of ranch. It was the prefect Detroit style pizza, with crunchy edges and a fluffy crust. And, there was a perfect amount of cheese, sauce, and toppings ratio. The prices were decent and the service was fast. I'm glad I gave this childhood favorite another go!

    Some of the best Detroit pizza, mediocre service, and a stale cannoli. We dined in, and for an old place with character, I will say it was quite clean. We had a large pizza and brought home the other half for lunch tomorrow. It's a good value. The cannoli we brought home and ate nearly immediately was stale and soggy. We will probably order takeout next time and skip the cannoli.

    We wanted good Detroit style pizza and that's what we got. We did a to go order but the inside is a fun looking place. Service was great both at the ordering counter and the outside pickup. $20ish for a larger very cheesy pepperoni pizza with those classic crispy cheese ends. I wish we would have remembered to order a side of sauce because there's never enough on a Detroit style for our liking but it was yummy!

    I really appreciate the system they have where you can call in the order and drive up to pick it up. We ordered one cheese and one pepperoni for pickup. It took about 25-30 minutes as made fresh. They do ask your make and model of your car so that they can associate your order. When we got there, a server came out to our car without us having to call. She was super nice and let us know that they marked the pepperoni pizza with one slice on the corner on top. The people that ate the pepperoni pizza loved it and I enjoyed the cheese. I do feel like I wanted more dough and sauce ratio as I just felt it was mostly cheese. Maybe with more toppings the ratio changes. I did enjoy the flavor though! The larges feed a lot of people because the sizes per piece are hefty. The pizzas were also nice and hot, which is a huge bonus because we also had to bring the pizzas back to the house for others. All in all, I think I just like more sauce and fluffy dough as this was a little dense and heavy. I would absolutely go back though.

    I stopped in for lunch and was glad I did. I got lucky with the parking (it's limited) and found a booth immediately. After a couple minutes, my waitress came and greeted me and I had my food ordered within 5 minutes. As others have said, total blast from the past in here. Very unassuming interior which I can appreciate. My order came out in just under 30 minutes. It was not too busy when I was there, so just a head's up. I ordered a small meat lovers pizza. It was pretty fantastic. The exterior cheese crust was one of the best I've had. Plenty of toppings and lots of cheese. The structural integrity was a bit compromised (I get whey they give you a fork and knife, but Detroit Style pizza is meant to be raw dogged) which made a couple slices tough to eat. Also, these are big slices. I mustered through 3 before tapping out. Going back to the pizza, everything worked so well together and I liked the heavy amount of cheese on it. The bottom crust didn't have a ton of flavor, but that was not noticeable but for a few bites so not a big deal. Overall, I highly recommend Loui's. Better than Michigan and Trumbull (it's close) which many regard to be a top spot in and around Detroit. Very good experience.

    What was left of our pizza

    I'm not a Detroit style pizza fan, but it was insanely good. They were able to accommodate our party of 10 on the spot, as well as the several pizzas we ordered. My favorite part of any pizza is the sauce which was very fresh and robust. I would have loved to take home another pizza, it was that good. And our waitress was very funny and hospitable. Loui's is a medium-sized dining room with one TV and a laid back environment. It can get loud as there isn't much to soak up sounds, and voices bounce off the walls. If you're willing to venture outside the city, Loui's should be on your list of eateries to visit. This place was recommended to us by a local.

    It finally happened. After scouring all of the metro Detroit area for a few years now, trying the so called "best" Detroit style pizzas and failing time after time to be impressed by Detroit's own namesake....ive found the one. Enter Loui's !! Hazel Parks iconic old school pizzeria. What an interesting vibe we got going here. I instantly feel like I've walked into a scene out of The Godfather. No this isn't 1980, but the character remains on full display. A great Detroit style is a delicate balance of thick crispy crust and high quality ingredients. Where most others fall flat, Loui's gets it all right. Sure the pepperoni under the cheese is a little different, but that's more aesthetics. What most stands out is the cheese itself! Clearly the highest quality of Wisconsin brick on full display, and plenty of it. It's a distinct flavor that instantly dances on your tongue! Loui's is the real deal. Now let me be clear....this is not the best Detroit style in the entire country, but it is without a doubt the best in Detroit. And to think this was the last place to try on my list. I guess they say save the best for last?!

    So far this is the best Detroit style pizza I have ever had, dough was soft, airy but yet had the perfect crunch and crisp to it. Toppings were generously applied and all tasted very good on the meatlovers. Cheese and sauce also were very tasty. This was pretty close to a perfect pizza in every way to me.

    Marinara sauce that comes with cheesebread
    swedish c.

    I placed an order for pick up so I didn't eat there but it seemed cozy and nice inside, like a family friendly establishment :D. The women at the counter who was handing over my food was a nice women no complaints. Pizza was good a little too doughy compared to other Detroit style pizzas I've had but still really good, I would say above average. The cheese bread was solid and it comes with a marinara sauce so I can't say anything. Overall would I go back? Sure, but I wouldn't be running towards it. Still a good place though, do recommend.

    Small meat lovers pizza and large spaghetti and meatballs
    Sadie C.

    This was honestly one of the best meat lovers pizza I have ever had. It's hard to find Detroit style pizza with a crust that is crunchy and cooked perfectly but they really know what they're doing. The antipasto salad with the house dressing was AMAZING. I see why they sell the dressing by the gallon. Service was great and the overall vibe of the place was laid back. They let the food do the talking and I see why Loui's has been in business as long as it has!

    I don't think they do at this time . Pizza is great !!!

    Are you open for dine in on the weekends now?

    yes, they are.

    Can I just get a side of meatballs? Has anyone had them and are they good?

    Looks like the closest thing on the menu is 3 different kinds of meatball sandwiches. I'm sure you could probably order just meatballs if you were dining in with others and they ordered other food. Because it says extra meatballs (4) with mushrooms… Read more

The sandwich originated in Chicago, so I like that Matt & Mo's has a replica of Wrigley Field's ivy wall. On the flip side, I didn't like being charged a 4% fee for paying with a card. My wife ordered a pepperoni pizza puff along with French fries. The pizza puff fell apart too easily, and was basically a larger version of a Totino's pizza roll. The fries were standard. With my sandwich, I ordered poutine. The consistency and flavor of the gravy made the poutine much better than average. As for the Italian beef, it did not disappoint. I regret getting just sweet peppers, as I should have gotten either hot or mild peppers with the sweet. I did get the whole sandwich dipped in au jus, which was the right move. This was my first time having an Italian beef, so it's hard to judge, but I definitely enjoyed it. Next time, I will bring cash to pay, and might even try some of the other menu items. I look forward to trying Doug's Delight, as well.

Everything meshed together perfectly.

They have an extensive menu to include vegetarian options which was nice to see. They also have many local brands to include chips, sodas, and other small local business products (caramelized nuts, baked goods, etc.)! On the topic of local businesses, they also had a board which allowed local owners to post business cards and event alerts, fantastic for drawing the community together. Now, I ordered a Reuben as a lover of corned beef and sauerkraut. It was delicious and sizeable, a fair portion size for the money as well. The chips were also delicious having gone for the salt, pepper, and onion variety. A solid crunch and bursting with flavor. Among the positives I have two negatives, both of which are not adequate enough to lower their star ranking. Firstly, it took around 20-25 minutes to get our food after ordering. I rarely hold timing against a restaurant as having worked in food, I know lunch rush exists and things happen. To mitigate this (for those in the area) I believe they have an online ordering system, which I would recommend utilizing! Secondly, they do not have indoor seating, so it is a very grab and go type establishment. This is counteracted by the multitude of benches around Royal Oak, though it would be nice to have some amount of seating, especially for those with accessibility needs and those waiting on their food. Overall, Oak House Deli is solid and delicious and I will definitely stop by again when I am in the area!

I always say that my teachers are heroes without capes so the theme of this truck was so fitting. Every year, I try to do something extra special for my staff.

These sandwiches were the BOMB! Freshly made and grilled with such unique options: Blackfire (Steak, bacon, egg, mozz, grilled peppers, onion & drizzled with a spicy sriracha mayo), Thor (Turkey, bacon & Cheddar, mayo), Kingpen (Grilled Chicken, mozzarella & pesto aioli), Captain Planet (Marinated Mushrooms, Grilled Onions, Mozz, Red Pepper & pesto aioli), Deathstroke (Steak, grilled peppers, provolone, onion & mayo), Hawkeye (Turkey, swiss, sauerkraut, pickles, 1000 island dressing). These sandwiches were served on grilled sourdough, marble rye or a hoagie bun. My favorite was Thor but the Hawkeye was equally as delicious. I didn't have a chance to try all of them but everyone was raving about their sandwiches. The two ladies working the food truck were amazing. Serving up 50+ sandwiches in 1 1/2 hours was seamless. I've been told that this food truck travels all over the place. If you are lucky enough to try them, trust me, you will be in sandwich heaven!
