Not too hot and had a great crispy texture. It was the pizza that did it for me. I ordered a personal pizza, no sauce, pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeño. Yes, pineapple belongs on pizza!

The servers and bartenders made our group feel at home!

If you're seeing a giant neon PIZZA sign you've found it. The food itself was okay enough but nothing overly special, especially for the price. The atmosphere was very comfortable though and the guy who runs the place seems to care a lot which was nice to see. They also have live music if you're into that. All in all I'd say if you're on the resort (or staying less than a mile away like we were) it's a good close option but I wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here.

Frontage on Eighth Street, but it feels like a neighborhood joint once you are in there. I apologize to Two Sons Pizza, for not writing a five star review, when the pizza was five stars. I mean, we've got The Filling Station for the real thin but still chewy crust. Excellent. Charles and Reid for Detroit style, which is life altering delicious (and I generally hate thick pizza). And Two Sons completed the power triangle with big New York style slices and pies. But what the F happened? They've always had a little bit of that dismissive hipster kind of vibe, where they try to make you feel like you're not important, or possibly not cool enough to enjoy how amazing their pizza is, or was. But now it's like the one or two employees who are there at a time, don't want to be there at all. And that's what the pizza tastes like now The slices used to be massive, like cutting an extra large pizza into six slices. They were priced accordingly, $7-8+, but well worth it. Delicious. Now the pies are old sitting around for hours, and they don't perk up when reheated like they used to. I don't have a problem with proper New York style slices, being reheated, that's part of the tradition. But the attitude I get is, if they aren't slammed busy, they don't care about having fresh food, and you just get what you get. It seems the employees don't care, they are like robots now, and unhappy robots at that. They've got the NY magic and the special sauce, they just aren't using it anymore. Maybe the chef quit, maybe it got sold, I have no idea. The last slice I had, I threw it in the garbage, and went to Toby's dog house, the hot dog trailer outside. But it was closed on a day it was supposed to be open. The guy behind the bar at Silver Spruce brewing has the same dismissive/dumb attitude. I wouldn't be surprised if all three places closed after summer 2026 ** since they are capable of making a good New York style pie, at least in theory now, just order a whole pizza. That way, it will be fresh. The slice game is dead there. **

The Italian sub was amazing, and as I said, it was so good and so affordable my girlfriend and I decided to order a second one (not that the first wasn't a good portion to begin with). Thick pieces of flavorful Italian sub meat, crispy, melty, tasty cheese, toasty, fresh bread, and some solid veggie toppings. Couldn't quite tell if they actually put Italian dressing on ours, but it didn't matter. We loved it regardless! Compared to some of the other places in town, this place offers really great flexibility. You can take some subs, pizzas, or salads to go down to the beach, or do what we did and enjoy them in their very cute and peaceful restaurant. They also have a nice outdoor deck seating area with great views of the water, although there was some construction going on when we visited, so we decided to stay inside. They also have a Northwoods soda machine, which is a lot more fun than plain Coke or Pepsi for a northern Michigan adventure like a trip up to Suttons Bay. The guy behind the counter was perfectly friendly and didn't have an issue with us trying all of the different sodas. This will be a place we make into a destination next time we visit northern Michigan!

The place has open seating and the pizza is cooked in a nice looking brick oven.

You see, sometimes "less is more" when it comes to a thin crust, brick oven pizza and while i can't believe i'm saying this, our pizza simply had too much cheese and toppings that it came out undercooked in the middle, and that's no bueno when it comes to any pizza.
