If you're a vegan pizza lover visiting Detroit and want to experience incredible Detroit-style pizza, this is the place. I've been coming here for years and am still impressed by their substantial vegan options. When I say anything can be made vegan, I truly mean it. This isn't your standard veggie pizza with no cheese--it's creative, flavor-packed pizzas with excellent vegan substitutes that genuinely stand up to their non-vegan counterparts. They even offer vegan desserts, which makes the experience that much better. As a vegan in Detroit, this spot is a go-to and a true haven for bold, satisfying flavors. Parking can be a bit tricky, so I often recommend takeout. That said, if you do find a spot, the indoor decor has a great vibe and is worth enjoying (delish pizza smells ). I also believe they have an outdoor patio during the summer, which is a nice bonus. Either way, this is standout vegan food in an ever-growing Detroit food scene and definitely worth a visit! read more

Detroit style pizza. They're good, but it's getting harder to justify buying a slice, 8 dollar plus tip. Rather go to another place in midtown where a slice costs 3-5 and they also have bowling. read more

Pie Sci is a staple local pizza joint serving both classic and imaginative pies in traditional Detroit style (or round, if that's your thing!) Both times I've dined in was for a collaboration pizza between Pie Sci and Khana, the "Butter Chicken" pizza. It's truly a masterpiece. We got there early on a Monday evening and snagged a table, and watch them get progressively busier the whole night. There's never not a pizza in the oven. You order at the counter, grab your seat, and one of the workers calls your name at the counter in a sing-songy fashion that prompts you to want to respond in the same way. Nice to see them having fun with it! Pictured: Cheese bread, Butter Chicken pizza (speciality, not usually available) we made this disappear quickly! read more

This is one of the best gluten free dairy free pizzas I've ever had! I didn't know there was such a thing of GF thick crust, and when I finally found a spot with GF thick crust and DF cheese, I was over the moon to try it. The pizza went beyond my expectations. The crust was soft and tasty. The cheese was plentiful and actually melted. The toppings were also plentiful. The staff were also really helpful. My only disappointment was that I didn't buy another pizza to take home to freeze. Not sure what cheese or crust they use, but I will be back every time I visit Detroit no matter what. I wish all GF DF pizza could taste like this! read more

In town to catch a Tigers game and wanted pizza with both Vegan and Gluten Free options. Pie Sci to the rescue! They have your traditional choices along with Vegan and Gluten Free. It is a very clean and homey dinning area! The staff makes you feel welcomed from the get go! Our visit to Detroit was in the 90's with very high humidity which kept us indoors. They also have a garden patio out back which would have been my preference if the temperature was a bit lower. My family and I all had small square pizzas. We had a Veggie D on gluten free and made vegan with the cashew cheese. My daughter was in a happy place with her choice. We also had a Pep Squad made vegan with the follow your heart cheese. Another hit. I had Hawaiian 5-0 on gluten free along with the jalapeño bbq sauce. My pizza was great! They serve Faygo soda which is great. Their homemade version of the Choco Taco was great! As hot as it was. I was going to ask if I could get it out of their walk-in freezer myself! read more

Heard great things about this place and finally stopped in. It is much smaller inside than I was expecting. We got two small pizzas, a pepperoni and supreme square. Nice outside crisp cheese on crust, crust was really nice, I was expecting a much more dense crust but it was airy, which was great! Flavor of the toppings was great and sauce was nice. Would for sure come back! read more

Yummy! I only like thin crust pizza, and this hit the spot. I had the BLT, which was delicious in the future. I'll get it with even more tomatoes. My daughter had the Keegan Michael gnocchi, two thumbs up. My sister-in-law had the Hawaii Five-0, another two thumbs up. read more

Visiting from Indiana. We needed some legit Detroit style pizza and, boy, did we find it. Employee's were nice and helped us quickly. Cute little shop. Unique toppings with plenty of vegetarian options. Crust was well made. Clever food combinations. I had the devastator and that curry ketchup really sealed the deal! Definitely coming back read more

Their creative, rotating menus guarantees something for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans. The employees are always happy and willing to assist with navigating the menu.

I am a fiend for Detroit style pizza. I so wanted to love Pie Sci, but I can't say anything really stood out. The menu itself is quite creative. With options like Hawaii 5-0, pickle rich, and even Alfredo. I went for the fennel sausage, Which sounds wonderful in theory. Technically speaking, it falls short. I'm looking for the distinctive crispy outer crust I've come to love and the chewy thickness of the crust itself. The pizza itself would could have really benefited from a sauce to top it off(as often you find on this style), or even a drizzle of some sort. I wish I could say more, but it's all just subtle and underwhelming. Since the very first encounter I had with Detroit style pizza, I've been shouting its praises from the rooftops. I've now had it all over the country, and some absolutely incredible pies to say the least. But one thing that continues to mystify me is why I simply cannot find a great Detroit style in.....Detroit! The search continues.... read more

I came here very excited to try Detroit-style pizza! I appreciated how many options there were for different dietary restrictions. I got the Veggie D (vegan) and thought it was pretty good but wish it was more cooked. The pizza also took almost 30 minutes to come out, but I'm glad it was fresh!

I'm always on the lookout for delicious gluten free pizza, and my husband and I were in the area, so we decided to give Pie Sci a chance. Goodness! I am so glad that we did. The pizza was large and delicious. The staff were very friendly. There aren't a lot of tables to sit at, but that wasn't a big deal to us. The gluten free crust is thin and crispy, somewhat like a thick cracker. We got the Pickle Rick. My husband, who eats gluten, even said it was one of the best pizzas he's had. There is street parking, and as it's across the street from a university, I'd imagine it's quite popular among college students. We will definitely be back. read more

One of the best Detroit Style pies, and with that responsibility everything is divine from the crust crispness and flavor to the crazy flavors. And crazy isn't that crazy, I had a strawberry balsamic pie that still makes my mouth water. Pie Sci isn't afraid to try new things and that's what makes it so great - when you go (because you have to) try the weekly flavor it's usually worth the risk! With any Detroit style pie, it does take a while in the oven, but it is better fresh. They do have seating, but it is minimal. read more

I wish I could write a better review since this location was open when the pizza place down the road had run out of pizza. Unfortunately the slices were hard as a rock and as you can tell by the photo it might have been sitting in the warmer for hours. The salad I had no hope for once I opened the container. It did not taste fresh and didn't give me the refreshing feeling a Caprese salad should give me. Also I asked for a fork ..... they said they did not have any. I was confused cause I did see plastic forks hidden away next to the register. read more

A friend and I had lunch there this afternoon. We walked in. Was not greeted. The workers were having a conversation. I was like damn....you would think they would have stopped and be respectable. This was our first time there....they didn't give us a run down, made suggestions, or asked if we needed anything. We sat outside on the patio. It looked nice with picnic tables and umbrellas, and the pretty flowers. The pizza (Poblano Picasso) was good. Customer service out weighs everything.... They need to do BETTER. read more

Visited Detroit recently for the first time and was so excited for Detroit style pizza! It could have just been the one we ordered, but I didn't think the flavors were great. We got the BLT - Garlic oil, mozzarella, bacon, spring mix, cherry tomatoes, and herb mayo drizzle. We ordered the Honor Roll Upgrade: Sesame crust, raw red onion, balsamic drizzle, but they forgot about it and it was not added. Opening the box just looked like a raw salad of spring mix and tomato's were thrown on top - I think it would have been yummier if they were warm just a bit and cookies into the top. The cheese was not very gooey - which I really like. Bacon and the garlic aioli were very good. We sat on the back patio which is actually very large, probably 8 picnic tables. Each table had an umbrella you could raise which was really nice. I would try another place next time I'm in Detroit! read more

Long overdue review for Pie-Sci - one of my favorite Detroit style pizzas ( already you can also find a traditional round pie here if that's your thing)! My favorite thing about this shop is the variety and uniqueness of the pies you can find here. They also have a lot of veg/vegan options as well and their pizzas can be made GF, so a very inclusive shop for everyone's diet and preferences. Service has always been great and 'za has always hit the spot. Highly recommend supporting local here instead of your run of the mill chain pizza. Dine in or carry out at this location. This review is prompted from their recent collab with Khana for a butter chicken pizza - DIVINE. If you're reading this now, you likely missed it, and I'm so so sorry. read more

Pie Sci Pizza - Limited Time - Khana x Piesci collab Butter Chicken Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

this is one of those new trendy, hippy-dip restaurants that has randomly popped up in detroit, but has no clue where they actually are and what the culture entails. i came in here last week to pick up a multi-item order, approached the counter with smiles and all to let them know i was picking up. the order wasn't ready, which wasn't a problem at all so i went to go turn my car off and came back in and waited about 15 minutes before i had said order in my hand. in those 15 minutes, i witnessed what i presume to be a regular (a white-older man with a ponytail, wearing sunglasses) come in and the staff making a pretty lengthy conversation with him; shortly after, the supposed regular leaves with an order in hand. post conversation, all the staff weirdly disappear and come back after a few beats. i see one person, who i initially checked in with alongside friend with the piercings and cute, shot hair, eating at pizza at his heart's content away near the over, so at this point my patience is beginning to wean. after having a ten minute timer i had previously set go off, i approach the counter and ask the supposed manager if the order is ready. he goes to check and sure enough the order is ready, so finally delivers it to me. during the handoff, i mention to him that i had already checked in and asked for the order so i was shocked to have had waited an extended period of time, even though the order clearly had been ready during the time i was waiting. no decent apology, no fond farewell, no invitation to come back. now, i'm a brown skinned, Black & Brown, visibly queer, 5'5', incredibly stylish individual, and i have a warming personality to add to the charm; nothing about me is threatening nor alarming, so i'm not sure what about my presence comes off as unusual or warrants me to receive strange and inhospitable interactions. i'm a native who's been gone in california for almost a decade, and astonished isn't even powerful enough to describe how i feel about the gentrification of detroit. if you businesses want to come to detroit, but cannot learn how to be around folks who do not belong to your culture, whether that be on an ethnic, religious, etc level, please just stay out of the city. as guests, you have a duty to show empathy and humanity and understanding to those who do not look like you and do not act like you. the word "hospitality" gets thrown around way too often, and as someone who's career has been service-oriented regardless of the environment for 15 years, i'm appalled at the lack of "hospitality" i receive in so many of these white-operated businesses in detroit. hospitality is not white/western-euro oriented, and i need many of y'all who are coming from oakland, macomb, or whatever non wayne-county surburb to CEMENT that. i should not be coming back to my city feeling like an alien, and unfortunately pie sci pizza has added to that experience. as great as their food is, i can get great food anywhere, but i can't get humanity as easily. let's improve, please. PS, the business manager swiftly dropped in to give a baseless, emotional defense. my experience is my experience and unfortunately you don't get to try to manipulate that, especially as you were not present while I was there and unsurprisingly you not dictate the morals and culture of your team. Truthfully, this restaurant has just popped up since you guys weren't even a thing before I left (ten years isn't long lol), and let me ask how many folks from the team are from DETROIT (and not metro), i'd be waiting before i got a "me!" and it's a great thing. I never said that my experience was based on any of my identities, so I'm not sure where the need of defense for that came from... it's no wonder your business manager and not business owner read more

Amazing Detroit style deep dish. The slices are huge and loaded with unique toppings. Tons of vegetarian/vegan options & customizable. I ordered a speciality flavor a few years ago and had no clue you could still order it despite it not being on the menu, would be great to get that option somehow as we came from a few states away!

This was my first time trying Detroit style pizza and especially in Detroit. It's a nice spot to get some pizza. I enjoyed my meat lover's pizza (small for $15) but I do wish the crust on the bottom was a little more crisped. But overall, I still really liked the pizza. The daily slices they have are also not too expensive ($7). It's a good option as well for something quick. The people were very nice answering our questions as we didn't know what we should get. Overall, nice pizza spot. read more

Pie Sci is a cute little pizza shop on Wayne State Campus where you can order up some unique pizza styles- either round or Detroit style. Dine in is an option or take out. There are a handful of sitting areas in the quaint shop. The pizzas were served up with a smile by the friendly employees- it was close to closing- this didn't seem to bother them any if I chose to take out or eat in, which is refreshing. Thank you for that gesture! I appreciate not being rushed close to closing. I ordered up the basic square pizza with pepperoni- the pep squad. Yummy! My man opted for a build your own round- he was happy with his choice. I will definitely order up the Fig Lebowski the next time around! read more

OMG, so yummy. The quirkiness of the place and the unconventional pizza styles had me coming back to this place over and over again while in Detroit for a month. I highly recommend trying one of their menu items rather than building your own. There's one menu item that has cashew cheese and a white sauce drizzled on top - it blew my mind! I didn't think vegan pizza could be that delicious. The spot has an artsy vibe that makes it fun to visit. Of course, if you're in a rush and opt to get food to go, you'll get it in one of their pizza boxes with their fun logo. Looking at the one-eyed walking pizza slice while I eat feels nostalgic - it reminds me of the times I read Korean comics or Calvin & Hobbes while snacking into the night as a kid. read more

We stopped by to grab some Detroit style pizza. The inside is small with a few tables for dine in. Our pizza came out pretty quickly and they were able to accommodate my friend who doesn't like cheese by making half the pizza cheese free. The pizza itself was pretty good with a crispy crust and good flavor. read more

The main reason why I took off a star was the fact that we were told it would be a 20 minute wait time but it took close to 30-35 minutes for our pizza to come out. But it's most probably because they were busy and super slammed, which I understand. The menu overall is very different, and even vegan friendly! We got the Jimmy Pesto pizza and I'll be honest, it wasn't my favorite. The breading was a bit much for the amount of sauce, cheese, and toppings there were on it, but nonetheless, it was still good. If I get to try this place again (I'm from Texas), I'd definitely try something with a different sauce. read more

Here's where I'm at. This was our first stop as soon as we got to Detroit. We didn't even go to the hotel. We came straight here. There is street parking only, which wasn't hard to find with side streets right there. I loved the vibe inside. It's like a mad scientist's lab for pizza. The two guys in there were very helpful and friendly as we picked their brain for a little bit. The only thing that threw me off was the "Margherita Pizza". No sauce at all on it. It was good but just very weird to me. Instead of sauce, it had halved cherry tomatoes on top. It was good but my personal preference is definitely with sauce. My son got the meat lovers, which was excellent. Came with Peperoni, bacon, sausage and ham. The crust is buttery and perfectly cooked. Now keep in mind... A small is 4 slices, so the equivalent to a personal pie. More then enough for one person. Lastly, we got the special, which was the Jukebox Gyro. This blew us away. They recommended a traditional round opposed to deep dish style on this one. It had mozzarella, Gyro strips, onions, feta with a tzaziki drizzle. This stole the show and then some! read more

I LOVE PIE SCI!! I've had carry out from their Oak Park location and this is my first time grabbing some pies from their Detroit location. A huge variety of creative pizzas with a generous amount of toppings. We ended up getting a large round margherita and a large square "So Fresco So Clean" which was soooo delicious with the roasted corn, queso fresco, and garlic oil. Pickup was super fast, ready within probably 20 minutes around peak dinner time. I didn't get the chance to go inside but there was plenty of street parking and it looked cute from the outside! Can't wait to try a new pizza next time. read more

We were so impressed with Pie Sci we will definitely be visiting again. It was our first stop when arriving in Detroit. Pie Sci is located very close to Wayne State campus. The dining room is decorated with s science theme and is comfortable. We arrived at 11a, when they opened and there were already a stream of take out orders. We ordered The Pep and The Veg D Vegan. It was so nice to see vegan options on the menu. We had water, but there were soda options also. The pizza ingredients were fresh and the crust was perfectly crunchy. Overall a great experience! read more

I am an old time Pie Sci'er. The last year or so, not so much. I was told that there is new ownership, which would make sense but it still isn't enough to bring me back. Not sure what the change is but I suspect there has been a down grade of ingredients. The cheese tastes like its lower quality, the crust no longer has that crisp to it - it's more spongy, and there is an after taste that that coats your mouth, like seed oily. Like I said, it's been a slow decline but tonight's pizza was the deal breaker for us. Sadly, we will not be ordering here again. read more

*10 stars if I could. For the pizza AND the service* I drove through Detroit on my way to Niagara Falls, Canada to visit some loves and I figured I'd pick up some authentic Detroit style pizza for all of us to have for dinner when I arrived. I'd only had Via 313 in Austin, TX and ever since then I've been waiting for the opportunity to try the real deal. While driving I googled "best Detroit style pizza in Detroit" and Pie Sci was the first to pop up and it has great reviews. I called them up, explained that I would like to bring the best of Detroit to Niagara Falls and ordered 2 of the pizzas that they recommended. The person who helped me was so friendly and genuinely wanted me to get the best pizzas for the occasion. He offered to half-bake them so that I can throw them in the oven when I get there for the freshest taste. I ordered the Jimmy Pesto and the Fungus Amongus. My personal favorite was the Fungus Amongus with that truffle oil drizzle and locally harvested mushrooms. I took one bite and fell in love. The Jimmy Pesto was spectacular as well. They handled the 3.5 hour drive perfectly and heated up great in the oven, everyone loved them. We enjoyed them outside with a bottle of wine, made for an absolutely delightful first night seeing my loves. The whole experience was just wonderful and next time I swing through Detroit I will surely be stopping here. read more

My first time in Detroit, which meant some Detroit style pizza was in order. I did a little research in advance and landed on Pie Sci for a trip with my family. The staff was helpful as I ordered but nothing about the customer service stood out on an evening where they weren't super busy, as they don't even bring the food to your table (knowing that we were dealing with a toddler). The star of the varieties we ordered (square cut, BYO with mushroom and pepperoni and a Hawaii 5-0) was absolutely the crust. Light and airy on the inside, crisp around the outside but not overbaked as you should expect. The red sauce in particular did not bring much to the party, as it was sparsely applied and had no lingering flavor. We would absolutely want to come back to try more of their specialty pies. Their house special salad was good, as this week it was a mix of chicken, purple onion, feta and strawberries with a balsamic vinaigrette. I will say that we also tried two different kinds of the IceBox Brand ice cream bars and we just didn't enjoy more than a bite or two, which was a bummer considering how much they cost. The key lime pie has no tart punch at all and mostly tasted just like white chocolate, and the chocolate raspberry was better, but has so much salt on it that's all I could taste. read more

Pizza was good but Buddy's is better. I can't recommend this place because they messed my order by making one of my pizza's square instead of round. Not a big deal but wife didn't want it so i asked for a refund and the guy at the register seemed like he was making that happen. Well that was on December 6th it's now December the 17th and no refund. And i even gave a tip even though we dined in. Needless to say you got me once, you won't ever get me again. Also we waited for almost an hour for our order. I like supporting small businesses but some of them need to do better!! read more

Really wanted to try Detroit-style pizza in Detroit and after some research, landed here! Was able to find street parking. When you walk in, you notice a lot of cute sciency details, like the flasks, graduated cylinders, and beakers lining the walls. There's 4 categories of pizzas: primary, secondary, collegiate, and graduate which it pretty much looks like each category gets more quirky/complicated than the previous. We ordered a small (4 pieces) square of the Fig Lebowski. I know fig sounds like a strange ingredient to put on a pizza BUT TRUST ME, it's soooo good!!! The sweetness goes great with the savory of the bacon and cheese and everything else. This place makes the crust so perfectly crispy yet soft and airy. Also ordered a caprese salad and the ingredients were so fresh; I loved the giant clumps of mozzarella and the dressing was so freshly basily! I took some of the dressing home. Service is friendly; they let us know it would take 20 minutes for our pizza to arrive which was an accurate estimate. read more

Amazing "Detroit Style" Pizza. I mean absolutely delicious. We got a couple of the small squares (Veggie D and Baby Got Barbeque) and both were so tasty. There is not seating at this location but there is a newly opened bar across the street where you can take your pizza and enjoy some brews at the same time. The staff at both were GREAT. This was simply a GREAT food experience all around. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Lovely little patio features a garden where they grow fresh herbs and vegetables that they use in the 'za. Wonderful and diverse selection of toppings. Among my usual veggies I added almonds, which I'd never thought of putting on pizza before but was very good. Pizza was delicious. They did put the wrong toppings on one of our pies - my daughter wanted veggies only and got pepperoni - but they made a new pizza (correctly) and brought it out later for her. If I lived near Detroit I would definitely be a regular here. I hope to be back again someday. read more
