love this place. me and my friends would go to the highschool close by and play soccer, then pull up and eat 2 or 3 things of fries and a pizza. Love this place don't understand the mediocre rating. Server knows my order and he's super chill. read more

I'm a fan! They have a great lunch special with a personal deep dish and a salad, if only I could figure out how to make their house dressing for their antipasto it is delicious! read more

Medium Chicago deep dish. Dough is 50% or more raw. Called to speak with manager and she told me they cook all their pizzas for the same amount of time and don't have any other pizzas like this. So I guess there's something wrong with me for not wanting raw dough. read more

Pizza Papalis - Everything between cheese and bottom bit of cooked dough is raw. - Pizza Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

First, I have been a lifelong Chicagoan & pizza enthusiast! After all we in Chicago have the best pizza in the world . While on business in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan I purchased several pizzas for our work crew who all locals. They all kept telling me that Papalis had the best deep dish pizza in Michigan, and that you could only eat two slices because they were so filling. I purchased four large deep dish pizzas for 8 hungry men for lunch (I was going to purchase 6 but listened to them and only purchased 4.) I hate to admit it, but my crew was correct! This pizza was delicious, perfectly cooked. The dough & sauce was delicious, the toppings (Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, pepperoni & ground beef) were perfect, and yes I could only eat two slices . I will be working in the area for the next few months and will definitely return to Papalis for pizza. read more

The pizza its self was yummy. Very large! My biggest complaint was that it was super expensive! I ordered it a head of time and it took about a half hour. Very good! A friend had their gluten free pizza and said it was delicious. read more

First time to this location. It is smaller inside than the others we have been. The regular salad (Antipasto) was enough for 4 people. It was fresh with many chopped pieces inside. A bit too much red onion, but cut large enough to ignore. But we came for the pizza! This is such a rare treat our hopes high. Not a disappointment!! We love this style deep dish. It is not greasy but smothered in a delicious pizza sauce. The cheese abounds, but know it is on the bottom! Medium pizza fed four of us with some leftover. Can't wait already to come back. read more

The food was great and service was good. Not to busy when the family went. Perfect place to bring the family in.

Came in Jan 30 at 3. We were ordering from the Pizza Papalis side but from the minute we walked in the door, even the Rio Wraps woman was pleasant and greeted us. The front end was very hospitable. Smiling, Kind and asked all the right questions to get our order right. I don't know why this place isn't busier .. because when I took the first bite of wings, my socks were blown off LOL! Michigan Bourbon Wings, Peach Pepper Wings. OH MY GAWD. This place has my wing business for life. Even the pizza was 20/10! Now if only they sold alcohol, this would be my sports bar of choice!! Highly recommend this joint. Come hungry!! read more

Maybe the hardest thing about moving back to Detroit from Chi was missing the pizza (and the Beefs). Sure, Buddys (and now the new Comos) is good, but Chi is the epicenter of high-end Pizza. This place is a godsend. It's 90%+ of a Giordanos (the clear style comparison). It ain't cheap but the money is going to quality. 5-stars for this region, 3.5 in Chi, but I rely on them like lifeblood. Can somebody open a Lou Malnati's clone please?? read more

This place never lets me down.We always order before we get there so it is ready when we arrive.Sausage and pepperoni is the only way to go and the antipasto salad has thee best dressing.Service is always fast as well. read more

Good pizza but it's honestly the Michigan Bourbon wing sauce that keeps me coming back. Decent boneless wings, but I'd eat literally anything they put the MB sauce on. It's so good. Nice bbq-with-a-kick. The bianca thin crust pizza with this sauce is obviously a gem. Haven't tried their deep dish but the biancas and regular thin crust pizzas are tasty. read more

The Chicago style pizza and Greek salad was delicious! The service was exceptional and the environment was relaxing. read more

Omg who doesn't love this pizza place? It's one of the best, if not the best, pizza places in Detroit! Taste just like Chicago's deep dish pizza. The marinara sauce is on point! I'm never disappointed. We had my wedding rehearsal dinner at the downtown location. My mom really enjoyed her thin crust pizza... read more

Excellent pizza. My favorite pizza place. You will not be disappointed. Eat pizza in Detroit.

This is a tie for the best pizza I have had of all-time and by far! The only other place would be Giordano's in Chicago/Vegas and this last visit, it was perfect! Had the large deep dish pepperoni pizza and it was a 10/10. I used to go to the Downtown location and this just may be better for food alone. Highly recommend a take-out or dine in. read more

The BEST deep dish pizza anywhere. Whenever I get to the east side of the state, Pizza Papalis is a must have. read more

Amazing Chicago style deep dish pizza! The service was fast and friendly with a very clean restaurant feel.

Great pizza if you like deep dish flaky crust lots of tomato sauce and marinara sauce plus lots of cheese.

The deep dish pizza was very good! We ordered through Grubhub and order was ready when we came to pick up. No missing items, thank you guys!! The gentleman behind the counter was quick and efficient and the food was nice and hot. The lettuce on the salad was fresh cut and the ranch dressing was yummy as well. Our thin crust pizza was a little overdone, hence the missing star. All in all, I will definitely be going back. read more

Had the large v.i.p. Deep dish with extra cheese and I should of went with my gut feeling not to order extra cheese. You would think there would be a real cheese pull but there was no cheese pull with extra cheese and that's maybe because they don't use the right cheese for a cheese pull. The dough wasn't cooked all the way on the inside. I also ordered 6 mi bourbon wings. Those were good. I was really hoping I would enjoy my $43 large pizza but I didn't. But I enjoyed the wings. I need to go to Chicago for some authentic deep dish. I don't know why giordanos went out of business after opening for like 6 months in Detroit. I think it's because us detroiters don't know what a true deep dish is. I went to the greenfield location in Southfield read more

Lasagna was terrible and soggy. Garlic bread was too salty. Service was terrible, took a long time to wait. And the restaurant was a but messy. read more

Okay, I'll admit the Greektown location is more enjoyable in terms of location and atmosphere, but the pizza at this location is still almost as great. The meat lover's deep dish is going to take a good 45 minutes or more to get, but it's very much worth the wait. Fans of Pizza Papalis like myself always wonder why it is always a runner-up for the best local pizza and not the solid winner. Yes, I know which other place is always the winner, yes I've tried it many times, and no it can not compare to Pizza Papalis. Anyway, this location is nice to have if you can't make it downtown. read more

For deep dish, how do you determine a good deep dish pizza? Is it the crust, maybe the sauce, how about the toppings, or does the answer lie with the cheese? It's all of them, but each one individually. Pizza Papalis' deep dishes started in greektown in the original location. They would make a deep dish that you would never forget and driver across the state to have. I was hoping this place would deliver the same flavor, texture, and pizza as before. Well, it's close but not 100% there. The greektown deep dish pizza would have received at least four stars, this one three. Starting with the crust, it's wonderfully think, greasy on the bottom, and think on the side and bottom. The sauce hits its mark by having a delicious tomato base and strong with oregano. The cheese is good, elastic when it's hot. The website states they offer low fat cheese by saying "Lite Cheese". However, when ordering, don't say with Lite Cheese, because they'll put less cheese on it. Make sure you say, low fat cheese. The toppings, having only ordered a few, were very weak. The one that really didn't meet expectations was the garlic. I imagined full roasted garlic cloves and it turned out to be garlic powder. You can imagine my shock and disappointment. Don't over order, with just three pieces of a deep dish, you'll be very full. read more

Pizza Papalis - 10" deep dish - Pizza Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Not impressive.. I kinda expected Chicago style deep dish pizza. I was wrong. I should've tried regular pizza at other place. Ordered small size deep dish (spinach w/o mushroom), and ate only 2 slices.. couldn't finish it. So awful.. read more

Pizza Papalis - What kind of deep dish pizza??? Terrible ... - Pizza Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Long story short: 1st time eating here, we ordered a GF pizza (I do not have have Celiac's disease or anything but I do have a sensitivity where I swell really bad but I am usually fine w GF pizza). Came home, ate the pizza (was very good). Over the week I notice I was swelling a lot, my skin was breaking out in painful cysts like I would if I had eaten a lot of gluten (I was also having other health problems at the time including a medication change, so I figured that was why). Fast forward the next week. My husband and I wanted pizza again so we come here. We get the same thing in a small GF like the last time, but this pizza looked totally different- the crust was thinner and and pizza was only a bit bigger than the size of my hand (and I have tiny hands) which was much smaller than the first pizza we ordered. Come to find out they messed up our first order and did not give us a GF pizza. A MASSIVE mistake!! They only offered us $5 off of our $25 tiny pizza which we could not even share and my husband had to get food from somewhere else. Needless to say. Never coming back. read more

I love their pizza and salad. For that I would give them a 4+. The service at this location is consistently bad. Never have they been able to say "here's your order." It is always "hmmm...we can't find it" or "we made the wrong thing." If that would change, I would be willing to up my rating. I will be back. read more

Just NO! I ordered through a delivery service. I got a small pizza with chicken, olives and spinach. A sampler and a small cookie. The guy shows up with pizza and a cookie. I ask about the sampler, they stopped carrying that. Uhm... Thanks for the call letting me know? So I sit down to eat. Pull a piece away to put on the place and the cheese with ALL of the toppings separates from the cardboard.... I mean, the crust. Oh yeah, the crust on this sucks when it's hot. Like, almost too hot to eat. Let it cool off? Inedible. I was hoping to be able to keep this to have leftovers but it sucked hot. Why would I subject myself to eating it cold? Oh, good news. The delivery of the shitty food was fast and the pizza was still hot. read more

Customer svc is never bad and thy have the best deep dish pizza around! The crust is amazing and the VIP is our favorite!

This place's environment is alright. Obviously the pizza is frozen. Can even taste the smell of the fridge. The dough is broken down into pieces you can clearly see are frozen and old. We asked the restaurant if it's frozen and they reassured us it's not even thought it was. Bad pizza, I wouldn't recommend read more

The pizza is amazing and very generous with toppings. Employees are always nice and serves is fast

Overpriced pizza, the thin crust pizza tasted like cardboard. I ordered a veggie pizza and it hardly had any vegetables just overloaded with jalapeños. I paid 20 dollars for this pizza and threw it away. read more

I've always hated Chicago style.... I am now a fan because of this place. Sweet sauce, lots of toppings, flaky crust. I'm all about it. Definitely worth all the calories. Antipasto & wings were perfection as well. read more

"Meh" indeed...I hadn't had Pizza Papalis for years, but I remembered trying to cram just ONE MORE BITE in because it was THAT good! I remember my coworkers getting into fights over the last piece when we brought it in for lunch! This location disappointed, however. It's no secret that a Papalis pizza isn't cheap, but for the price we found ourselves hunting for the toppings we'd ordered because we weren't quite sure there was anything in there other than crust, sauce, and cheese. The dough was heavy (not in a good deep-dish way) and almost undercooked. The Greek side-salad was a joke and the dressing was strangely sweet. Major bummer and not worth the price, but I'll try the downtown location again before I write them off altogether. read more

Always fresh pizza. The deep dish is amazing and the thin crust is equally awesome! Geary customer service is also a plus.

I love the deep dish pizza & their regular pizza. I also love their minestrone soup. The employees are very friendly also!

Ordered online and the order wasn't done on time and it was incorrect...and when I pointed it out to the staff they blamed their technology partner Spot On....disappointing. read more

One of the worst pizzas I've ever been served! I left the $14.00 (smallest the offer) on the tray. The crust from hell was like a leftover pie-dough. avoid. read more

I don't understand why this place hasn't been reviewed in such a long time, but the deep dish was deelilcious!! Husband and I came here tonight for the first time, and considering that our first visit was to the original Greektown location, we were hoping for the same wonderful experience. We ordered a medium deep dish with spinach, chicken breast, garlic, and onions ($27.42). It was pretty big, but we anticipated this, but man, I didn't realize that it would be so heavy! That sucker was filled! Anyway, we took it to go (as it was getting close to quittin' time for the staff) and on the drive home, both Husband and I commented on how lovely it smelled. We really couldn't wait to dig in! Opening the box, the smell was awesome. We really appreciated the craftmanship of the pizza. The one we had in Detroit was a little sloppier in execution (granted that it was a much larger one), but what really stood out about tonight's pizza was that the crust wasn't burnt and it was not mushy. The toppings proportion to sauce, cheese and crust was well-balanced so you never felt like you were eating just crust and tomato sauce. The sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top was a nice addition to the overall flavor of ingredients. In the end, we will definitely be coming back to this location, as it is the closest one to us and we liked it even better than the Greektown location. Service was still great even though we picked it up 15 minutes to closing time. Ingredients tasted fresh and the chicken breast wasn't dry or rubbery. Next time, we will probably just dine in. So, if you're in a mood for Chicago-style deep dish pizza, hop on over here! You won't leave hungry! read more

Just left lunch, and I have to say this was a great experience. I wasn't sure what to expect with a pizza and wrap front, but I was not disappointed. Staff were extremely friendly, polite, and helpful with the menu. Food was hot and fresh. I got the Roman ciabatta sandwich with TOTS!!! My boyfriend got a calzone, and we were both very pleased. And we got mozzarella sticks, because I do everywhere and anywhere. They were delicious. I'm not in the area much, but would highly recommend to those that are! read more
