This has become our go-to pizza spot in the area. The pizza itself is very solid, and consistent, which is a problem around town, a lot of places can be hit or miss any given day. We do a lot of takeout here but I love coming in and sitting at the bar, great staff that always takes care of you. Also a lot of regulars which makes for a cool vibe, plus they have live music sometimes. read more

I stopped by Maestro's Pizza over the weekend to give the place another shot. I went in hopeful, or at least mildly optimistic, that maybe something would feel different. Spoiler: it didn't. The same bartender I've mentioned before was still there, and honestly, nothing about the experience with them has changed. At this point, it's almost impressive how consistent the energy is like a character who shows up every episode with the exact same line delivery. And when I say the place still has a "greasy" vibe, I don't mean the pizza. I mean the overall atmosphere. read more

Small, unassuming place. Seems like everyone knows everyone and the staff is on first name basis with a number of customers. Good sign. Bar tender made a decent Paloma which is hard to find in this area. Ordered the Supremo pizza. Crust had the perfect crunch. Could eat a whole order of crusts. Buttery, crunchy, garlicky. Premium ingredients. Couldn't imagine you'd be disappointed with your order. read more

Went back for dinner and a brew, but was a little fatigued by too much pizza. Ordered their Chicken Club and was pleasantly surprised how delicious it was. Roll was fresh, deli meats were good, and tomato's were fresh and flavorful. I had mine with cheddar cheese and a side of ranch. I would definitely order this sandwich again. See pic. Server Kegan is the best! read more

We ordered some pizzas for carryout for the Lions game. They were great! It was a recommendation from a good friend, so we gave it a shot. Glad we did because good pizza isn't always the easiest thing to find in our area. Will definitely order again. read more

If you like tradional pizza of any kind I would not recommend Maestro Salsicca e funghi. Only the second pizza in 50 years that we did not finish and put in the garbage read more

Coming into the lobby on what should have been a busy Saturday evening, I found maybe 5 tables of patrons and a semi-busy bar area, which was a bit odd. I decided to give it a shot anyway and got a table. The beer I ordered was delivered in a huge mug and nice and cold. The menu was pretty cool and I chose a sandwich that I may not have typically ordered. I was less than impressed with the quality and it looked at if thr kitchen just tossed everything together without any care as to presentation. The flavor was decent but not great and I even said something to the waitress about the lack of bacon...a single stingy strip on the sandwich. I never did get more bacon and wad charged for it..errrr.. read more

This was my first visit here. I ordered a pizza and salad online to pick up. The order was ready ahead of schedule and the pizza and salad were both delicious! The waitress was really friendly and helpful. read more

Love this place!! I've only noticed it a few months ago but each time I go I have had a great experience. Service is top notch and the food is amazing! Price is a little higher but you can definitely tell in the quality. read more

This was referred to us by a friend and they specifically suggested the smoked wings. We ordered pickup on a Friday evening for the first time. We had no idea it was also a bar. As soon as I walked in I was able to recognize a few familiar faces. Most people around knew the owners. There was a line of people on hallway to the restrooms which was the pickup-order-line. The wait was ridiculous. But I dayum sure will be coming back for more!!! Also, there are plenty parking spots for you in the semi-plaza. The bar is relatively small and crowded. Be prepared to shoulder bang as you walk-in to sit/pickup. Servers were good but the service was okay... We were told to expect a 30-45min wait, but was checked out with the food over an hour. read more

We have only ordered to go before and loved it but decided to at Maestro's today. It was such a great experience. Food is delicious, margaritas amazing and customer service unbelievable, great atmosphere! Our server Meg and owner Dayton were amazing and most welcoming. We will definitely come back. I would give 10 stars if I could :-) read more

Maestro's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Soooooo good I didn't have a chance to take a picture! We were at our friends pool all day hanging out and needed dinner the 4 of us decided we were too tired to go out for dinner so we decided to pick up a salad and Pizza from Maestro. Best decision of the summer! They have the best sauce! The wait was about 45 mins but it was definitely worth it. They have a full bar so when our husbands went to pick up our food they could've grabbed a beer if our pizza was not ready...however it was ready so no beers for the boys until they got home! Anyway...it's been too long since we've been to Maestro's and we were so glad we did! Everything in their menu is wonderful! read more

We love this place, it is small and intimate but they have seating outside. The caprese salad was odd, we've never had it with lettuce. It needed some salt. Next time I'll bring my pink Himalayan salt. The pizza is always delicious. read more

Had a Supremo Pizza and Maestro bread last night. It has been a while since I have ordered from here and hopefully these were just a couple of bad ones. The food just wasn't as good as it used to be. Had to wait an hour to pick up my online order. Both seemed to be a bit overbaked, the crust was hard. The Maestro bread was more like a sheet of cardboard with cheese. The ingredients on top of the pizza were great but the crust under was soggy and outer crust was hard. Not the best I have had from here. read more

Great food and atmosphere to take kids to. They will love the food. The staff works hard and professional. Good Group!

Best pickle pizza ever! Plus, they offer a keto friendly crust! Loved their house made ranch and Caesar dressings. The Caesar salad was simple but absolutely delicious. read more

Best pizza in town & super friendly staff! Service is always prompt and food is always top tier!

I have never been to this establishment and was served by the lovely bartender Rachel! It also happened to be her birthday and she was so sweet and helpful, she directed me to the menu and gave many recommendations (since I haven't been here before) and I settled on the vegetarian pizza and it was phenomenal! This will definitely become a regular spot for me because it is so hard to find a good bartender these days! Thank you Rachel for the awesome time! read more

Maestro's is a locally owned pizza parlor/bar. I've had their pizza several times and have been pleased. As a kid, I made pizzas part-time for 3 years during high school at a Mom and pop pizza place. So, I know pizza, and I'm quite the connoisseur, if I say so myself. The pizza at Maestro's is good. They sport a pie with a good amount of cheese and the perfect balanced amount of sauce. They offer a good array of toppings. The crust is tasty and my pie was properly cooked. (Which is very important). A couple things I would suggest. I ordered a cheese and sausage pizza. The sausage was on the sparse side. I definitely could have used more. The sauce could have used a bit more seasoning in my humble opinion. Overall, I was happy with the pie I received other than the two criticisms I had. Try them for lunch or dinner sometime. You won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious food -pizza, homemade sausage, smoked wings... amazing! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I have had good experiences here in the past. We ordered pizza tonight at 6:15. They said it would be an hour. We arrived at 7:15. I waited a few minutes in the parking lot to make sure it would be ready. When we walked in to pick up the pizza they said it was going to be over 30 minutes before it was ready. It was a half hour drive to get here. This is very very disappointing. We obviously cancel the order, wasted an hour driving, and now do not have dinner. Update: They did make this right and offer credit for the meal we did not pick up which was very decent! read more

Busy Thursday evening, I ordered over an hour before and told them what time we should arrive to pick it up. I walked in and a server asked if I was picking up. I said yes and was outside within two minutes with my pizzas. We ordered a Hawaiian and Barbecue Chicken pizzas. And they were delicious and filling. I ate three pieces and was full. Five people ate two 16" pizzas and we had three pieces left over. I recommend this place, I am a first time visiting. read more

The pizza has a slightly strong garlic flavor that I'm not a real big fan of, and I like garlic when it's done right, but the flavor to me was kind of strange. The wait staff was attentive and friendly, but when we asked if it always takes this long to get a pizza, the waitress said yes because it was hand made. Isn't every pizza handmade at a pizza place. The dining atmosphere isn't anything spectacular, just your typical bland place. read more

Maestro's Pizza - New owner and the best pizza! If you love wings this will soon be your favorite place to pick up wings. Smoked and baked right in house! - Pizza Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Owner is fantastic, Staff is great, food is always good... Maestro's never let's you down.

We have gone to Maestro's for their sandwiches in particular (pizza is overpriced). I saw the negative reviews after the new owners took over, and was scared to see if they changed the sandwiches. Not only did they increase the price of the sandwiches by $2 I believe, but they also cut the size of the sandwich in half...it's half the size they used to be and not filled as much. Incredibly disappointing especially since they raised their price for half the sandwich. The pizza is already overpriced so we won't be back. read more

Maestro's Pizza - Italian sandwich - Pizza Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

6070 S 12th St. Kalamazoo, MI 49009 - This address is their new location. They were previously at 4824 W. Milham Ave. Portage, MI 49024. My wife and I stopped in here for sandwiches last night. I ordered the Baked Italian, and my wife ordered the Baked Pizza. When our sandwiches were ready, Matt (the owner) erupted from the back with our orders while singing the praises of his made-from-scratch sandwiches.The meatballs, sausage, sauces, and breads are all made in house. When the bartender noticed my wife trying to figure out how to cut her large sandwich in half with a butter knife, he called on Matt who immediately came around with a more appropriate knife to slice our sandwiches in half for us. Matt then invited us to come back and make a pizza with him in the kitchen the next time we visit.This place has an incredibly friendly staff, and the food lived up to the owner's hype. We are totally going back to try the pizza. I wish that every restaurant owner were as a passionate about their product as Matt! Pros: I have to give it five stars because of the incredible owner and staff. We had a truly wonderful experience and some marvelous sandwiches to boot. Cons:They have to make a small space work. I always order meatballs when they are made in house, but they had run out of meatballs last night :( . read more

Order through Grub Hub as I'd seen lots of posts about it in FB. I've been wanting to try a pickle pizza and this one sounded delish. While it was good, for me, the pickles were a bit much. Not the fault of Maestro's though-but my own palate. I thought as a pickle lover I'd be all about it. We also ordered wings with garlic sauce and it was THE BOMB! Meaty, hot, smoky and just downright delicious!!!!!!! I also ordered a chop salad and it was also delectable. We'll try a different pizza next time, but it may be our go-to for wings from here on out! read more

I travel several times a month. When I am on the road, I try to find good local pizza. Rather than ordering from a chain, I choose to support local business while finding some hidden gems. This is one of those gems in the Midwest. you can tell the crust is homemade by its consistency, and there was not a hit of greasiness to it. The sauce, the sauce with some of the best I've ever had. Sweet but not too sweet, garlicky but not too garlicky. Then there was the cheese, which stretched and pulled after each bite. The pizza was wonderful. One of the things that really separated this place from many others was the owner. The older greeted every customer what came in the door, personally thanked every customer as they walked out the door, and was amazingly friendly and sociable. This is the kind of place that you can tell gets consistent repeat customers because of both the food and the friendliness. If you were in the area, I highly recommend the pizza from here. read more

Love this local family owned pizza place. They have high quality food. The chicken salad is top notch and they have homemade ranch dressing that is to die for. My kids even ask to go out to eat here! My favorite pizza is the bbq chicken! read more

My first time here. Very good Calzones are excellent and they serve beer and cocktails.

New owners, pizza is garbage now. The crust tasted like it was pre-frozen and the sauce was definitely from a jar. We threw it away after one slice each. read more

We were from out of town and used Yelp to lead us here and we were not disappointed. Service was great and the food was exceptional. I usually order pizza with family but got the Italian Sandwich, it was huge and explosion of flavor on my tastebuds. Grandkids and the wife were pleased with their pizza. The big three-- sauce, cheese and crust were spot on. We were also very pleased to meet the owner on our way out. And could tell that he loves people and loves to make them happy. Definitely will remember The Maestro, even if we never make it back this way. read more

The food was hot and super flavorful. You can tell this pizza place is all fresh and homemade. The sandwich i ordered was huge. It really is enough for two people and the pizza was heavy. I'm sure we will go back and support this small local business. The reason I took a star off was because we ordered take out and when we got there to pick it up there was a technical error with the tickets not making it to the kitchen. So we had to wait for a bit inside. Decided to have a beer which was cold and the bartenders were friendly! read more

Do not use Slice.Tried to order pizza. They canceled the order by email without any other form of conact. Why would I order and pizza and wait for it for an hour and track it online only to have it canceled by email???!!!! read more

I have long been a fan of Maestro's since his days in the corner convenience store. My wife and I love the pizza, get pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, extra cheese, and have him keep it in the oven about 8 minutes longer than normal. Cheese starts to brown on top, and crust gets a nice crunch to it. Besides pizza, you must try his Italian sandwich.......big enough to split, or for 2 meals...but delicious enough to eat in one sitting, which I normally do. Recently tried the stuffed mushrooms....very, very good. Almost as good as the ones I make at home. Matt and Dee are wonderful people, recognize me by first name, and appreciate your business. You will appreciate their food, as well..... read more

Highly recommend Maestro's pizza. Great food served by people with a passion to serve a quality pizza. Cold beer and fast service. Give this Mom and Pop restaurant your business and they will give you great food with a smile!!! read more

Let me start by saying I really wish I could give half stars because I think 3 stars makes this place seem worse than it really was. I'm a pizza fanatic, but not a pizza snob, so as long as there's cheese and quality ingredients I'm happy. I ordered a pizza with their house made sausage...which is the bomb! The only "complaint" I have is that it seemed to lack salt (even with green olives on it), but it wasn't anything easily correctable (enter...salt shaker) and I'm kind of a salt addict. The toppings went right to the edge of the pizza (which I love) and the crust was delicious also. There cheese was good, but in addition to my salt addiction, I have a cheese addiction so I thought there should have been more. I'll try "extra cheese" next time. Now for the bad part. I ordered wings. I ordered the "half pound" and we got 5 wings that were really average size like you would find at Buffalo Wild Wings. It was kind of laughable! Now I would normally order spicy wings but I was accommodating others who don't like spicy food so I went with Parmesan garlic. They were basically inedible...and I'll eat anything! They boasted in the menu about "baked, not fried" which is how I make my wings, but you'll see from my picture that they didn't "bake" them nearly long enough. There was essentially no char on them so you're left with soft, spongy chicken skin! Again I eat anything so that alone wouldn't have bothered me, but in addition to that there was ZERO flavor. I literally could not taste garlic...or parmesan (and again...mucho salt needed). I put some hot sauce on them to try to help but to no avail. I hate to say this but I threw 3.5 of the 5 wings in the trash! I'm my opinion they should either seriously retool their wing recipe or just take them off the menu. In summary...I will be back for pizza. I will also warn all my friends to stay VERY far from their chicken wings! read more
