If you're a vegan pizza lover visiting Detroit and want to experience incredible Detroit-style…read morepizza, 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!

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!

First time in Detroit and had to check out some Detroit-style pizza…read more This came up and decided to drive out and give it a try. There is street parking and a lot in the back where you pay through your phone. You seat yourself. It is communal tables and about 10-12 seats at the bar. I sat down and the bartender was very attentive. I asked if the pizzas under the Deep Dish section is Detroit Pizza. The medium was described as 12"x10" and cut 6 squares. 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.

Although I may come back again to try a different pizza to judge that portion of this establishment better since it didn't feel any different to me from other chain restaurants I've tried so not sure what's the hype about. Seating is limited, service is bad. They open at 12pm on a Sunday and I had called at 12.05 to check if they have a waiting , they first refused to put us on wait list on the phone which is ok, next they mention (at 12.05pm) they already had a waiting of 45 min. 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 pepperoni was perfectly piquant and veggies and sausage were beyond compare.

It was time for seat yourselves so to the outdoor patio we traveled. Not a far walk at all but more reason to get a liter of Bock Bier, a pint of Bavarian Hefeweizen and a Ghettoblaster Ale.

Incase she was also the bouncer. All kidding aside we had a great time and the three of enjoyed the ambiance of the brewery and the Michigan sunny warm day. All the relaxing was topped off with a very tasty pizza the Bronx Bomber. Great place and thank you Sandy for making our day fantastic!

The brewery splits their offerings between Jolly Pumpkin sours and North Peak Brewing Company's variety of styles. My husband ordered a Jolly Pumpkin pint right away. I wanted to try a flight but needed time to choose. Our bartender Lenice gave me all the time I needed. When a couple of my picks weren't available, she brought me samples of other beers to try. I liked one of the samples. Jason, the manager, helped me make my final selection. I don't typically drink sours, but these weren't the kind that make you pucker. They were subtle. Definitely my kind of sours. Jason shared stories about the brewery's history and owner. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the place really came through. Lenice stopped by a few times to check if we needed anything. Both Lenice and Jason made this visit memorable. Lenice kept the energy light and friendly. Jason's passion for his work and the brewery added depth to the experience. If you're in the area and want good beer with even better service, stop by Jolly Pumpkin Brewery.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

First, the place is so welcoming. Several different rooms as well as the outside patio, which has bocce ball. It was too warm & humid for us, so we sat inside at a table near the bar. The servers were all very friendly; it seemed a different person brought each course. We had the bread service and calamari for an appetizer. The bread and herb butter were very good, and I understand that it does cost the restaurant to serve it, but $7 seemed like a lot to me. I also enjoyed the calamari. I had the pasta Bolognese (they had some other name for it), which is one of my favorite kinds of pasta. This did not disappoint. I loved the super wide papardelle noodles (also a favorite!) and the small scoop of cheese (burrata, maybe?) on top. My sister had the mushroom pizza (also with a different name). She enjoyed it as well. I am glad they decided to take us there; it was all very good and in a nice atmosphere as well.
