    Veggie pizza with beef pepperoni
    Heather M.

    Pretty good pizza I ordered the veggie pizza with beef pepperoni, crust had cujin and sesame the pizza was completely covered with toppings which I loved and full of flavor but unfortunately their were a few slices that had a few bites that the dough was not completely cooked. But the rest was yummy

    Gluten free dairy free supreme pizza
    Demeka F.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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....

    Gluten-free Pickle Rick
    Tara R.

    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.

    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.

    i've had SO many recommendations to try pie sci! did not disappoint!! i got the 8x10 square fig lebowski, it was sweet and savory and crispy and just all around so delicious:) i love the vibe in the shop too and the staff is so so nice! will definitely be coming here again!!

    Salad
    Kris D.

    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.

    First view opening the box BLT (Small)
    Claire S.

    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!

    Limited Time - Khana x Piesci collab Butter Chicken Pizza
    Jessy R.

    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.

I don't know what this man's intentions were, but he could've came up to me and just simply asked "are you doing okay? is there anything i can do for you?" instead of scooping me out as if i was getting ready to commit a crime. as I spend more time being back in my home in Detroit, i'm just not understanding why it's too difficult to receive decent and humane customer service. i'm just in complete concern & dismay due to this experience, do so much better.

There were 6 of us so we had to put our name down and it was a ~30 min wait, but so worth it. We ordered the Cashew Caesar Salad to start followed by 3 types of medium sized pizzas: Pepperoni, Meat Lovers and Sausage + Pistachio. The food came out so quickly and SO tasty. I love a good Caesar Salad and the cashews added such a nice nutty taste to it - a hefty portion as well where all of us got a solid serving. The pizzas were cut, luckily, in 6 - super hot and the cheese pulls were so satisfying. My favourite was the Sausage and Pistachio - I've never had one like this and as someone who loves pistachio, the combination worked so well. All to say, the other 2 were also delicious. The pizzas were meaty and I appreciate how they also had vegan/vegetarian substitutions if needed. 10/10 service as well, and our server was awesome! Such a fun spot with lots of seating to accommodate all different sized parties with bar seating as well. We'll definitely recommend Grandma Bob's to our friends and we'd love to return when we come back to Detroit!

I got that thinking I'd take the rest home. I got the spicy pepperoni which comes with pepperoni, banana peppers, ricotta, Mike's Hot Honey and oregano. Nice selection of drinks if you do partake in beverages. Pizza was absolutely amazing. The crust, sauce, cheese and toppings came together well. Did I have some to take home? No. That could have been easily shared with 1-2 others too. Solid place. No idea what to compare to, but enjoyable.

While we did place the order on the phone to pick up in 20-25 min, when we arrived we did find a couple seats empty and for some reason they were discouraging us to get a seat when we had mentioned multiple times that we would like to dine in and only take togo if there is a long waiting. There were people waiting outside on the picnic style tables they have which they call "outdoor seating". They were not waiting to be seated as well and just waiting for their pizza to go when we asked. While taking the pizza we asked if we can get some water they refused they don't have water for to go! I already had placed a cola for togo so it was hard to imagine that they have colas but no water?!?!? Service is exceptionally bad for our experience and this will highly discourage us to even try this place again anytime soon

The waitress asked my husband 3 times if he wanted a third beer. Who did she think was driving home and why so pushy? Broccolini - nicely cooked, buried in cheese, a spicy aioli-type topping. Branzino - tasty, overly salted and oiled Cacio e Pepe - bucatini was a bit overcooked. Not enough pepper!
