Shields is larger than i even expected! Service was great and friendly - he talked and tried to get to know you on a personal level. The food was hot, fresh, and came out super fast!! Very family friendly atmosphere and great for large parties! Ambiance was a little loud but i think that was to be expected with a large facility and kids and families everywhere. I will say the food tastes better dining in! We only ever carried out until this visit. We will definitely be making more dine-in experiences from now on. The breadsticks - like Olive Garden but BETTER! Bigger, softer. Zucchini sticks - they could probably be smaller in size. I think i was thinking more like fries, but good nonetheless. I really liked the variety of options and this isn't something you see at other restaurants. Gold medal - the veggies were so fresh! Definitely understand why it's called Gold Medal and award winning. read more

This place used to be great but the service and food quality have gone down hill. This is based on my last 3 visits because I didn't want to give up but I cannot go back. 2 star because beer is cold. Grab a beer at the bar and that's it. read more

I recently visited Shield's Pizza and had such a great experience! We ordered the Shield's Super Pizza and it was absolutely delicious, loaded with toppings, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor.The service was just as impressive, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.I'll definitely be back! Highly recommend if you're craving great pizza and top-notch service. read more

The ambiance and service were great! The food didn't have much flavor. Not sure what it was missing but overall it lacked flavor. The fries were good! I used to enjoy Shield's quite a bit a few years back but unfortunately their quality has noticeabley gone down. The atmosphere is still lively whenever there's a game on. read more

It's been about a year since we have came here... shortly after they switched management. We were giving them another try because service had been spotty. We asked to get started in the bar (low table since I use a wheelchair). There were only 3 low tables but it was perfect because it was by the open window. After getting seated no one came for about ten minutes but it's OK because we were not in a rush. The waitress approached us and asked if we sat ourselves. I said no and we had menus. She said well we have a reservation for these seats. Then she walked away and another employee asked if I could move into a booth. My husband pointed to my wheelchair and said no she can not climb up into a booth. Then they decided to seat the people in any of the many other tables. The salad definitely looked like it was from yesterday so I asked for a new one. The sub was good. Took waitress a long time to check on us so we ended up getting up grabbing our own mustard etc. I doubt we will come back.... maybe give it another year. We use to come here once or twice a month. I think they just have a service problem. read more

Normally we love this place, great pizza and food is usually very good and the service is excellent, here comes the "but", We recently received an email advertising Prime Rib Thursday full meal $17.99, with a picture of your typical cut of prime rib and accompaniments, We were skeptical but we have always been happy with this place, well not this time, the prime rib was anything but "prime" it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great or really even good and did not have any resemblance to the photo in their advertisement, it is a thin cut and grilled, with lots of fat and grizzle, lesson learned, from now on we will stick to the menu items they are known for doing well read more

I've been to Shield's pizza before, just never this location. I was meeting a group of friends here for a birthday get together, and it was pretty good. Parking can get a little crazy here, but nothing that is awful. Since my friends wanted a meat lovers pizza and I don't do pork, I ended up getting a chicken sandwich instead. We also ordered breadsticks and fried zucchini which was pretty good. (better than fried okra, if you ask me.) Service was a bit touch and go, but nothing really awful. It was busy for a Saturday night, and their menu has lots of options to choose from. All around a good experience food and otherwise. read more

Shields Troy hosted our high school hockey banquet this evening and it was a great success! Richard the manager and Amber our party server were fantastic! The food was delicious and the room was very comfortable for our party of 70. Parents & players commented that they enjoyed Shields mire than our previous banquet facilities! Thank you Richard & Amber & staff read more

Interior was nice Host stand was a little disorganized seating people that arrived after us prior to us being seated. Our waiter was slammed with several large parties all sat at once. He did the best he could but service was slow because of it. Cheesy bread was good, not great. Pizza was good but Louis in Hazel Park is superior. read more

Ordered 2 large pies for takeout last night. Same great pizza over the 50 odd years that I have been a customer, first in Southfield and now in Troy. Still one of the best, if not the best, pizzerias in the Detroit area. Glad to see that you are still going strong when so many have faded away. Keep it up! -Robert and Carmen, Rochester Hills read more

Hosted my daughter's 1st birthday party. Amber was amazing with making sure we had everything we needed to make our special day easy and fun. Would recommend this place over and over again. Thank you Amber for providing exceptional customer service! Oh, and the pizza was really good too! read more

Shields Pizzeria is a true Detroit classic and a must-visit if you love real, comforting pizza. Their Deep dish pie, with that thick crust, crispy edges, and rich sauce on top is absolutely delicious. The antipasto is incredible, and my partner and I love coming here to watch a game while sharing a tray of pizza and a pitcher of beer or pop, depending on the mood. The menu has plenty to offer, but the pizza steals the show. A staple spot that feels like home. read more

I'll never order spaghetti again at Shields. Sauce was like tomato soup. Meat was difficult to find. Stick to pizza

Great pizza. Don't ever ever ever order for delivery through DoorDash. Pizza was ice cold. From my order point to delivery was 1:58 minutes. That is absurd. I will never order door dash from them and actually may never order from Shields again. If you cannot rely on delivery, don't offer it. $45 bucks for cold pizza. Screw you. read more

Shield's get the orders wrong. Delivery of incorrect items. Boo hissssssssssssssssssssss!

I used to go to this establishment with some regularity, but I haven't been here in years...and definitely not since they did their big renovation. It certainly looks different, but we sat outside, so I didn't get to see much. We went at lunch time on a weekday, so my wife and I split a couple of things from their lunch menu - the caesar salad and the pretzel sticks. Both were good, but nothing spectacular. We definitely need to come back and try some of the more interesting things on the menu. read more

First off, I live in Pittsburgh! Our pizza kicks butt. So, when my friend picked up a pie, I was skeptical. In my humble opinion I would call this pizza mediocre at best. Crust wasn't thoroughly baked, cheese, sauce were stingily added. Sorry, guys your product didn't cut it with me. read more

I haven't been to Shield's in 10+ years but I always remembered they had delicious pizza. I was in the area and stopped in for a meal. Yep, still great pizza! The breadsticks were just okay. I didn't see them on the menu but asked for them and then the server said "they're making more so just ask" when she gave us some but I don't know if that was to imply ours had been sitting out, which could be why they tasted stale. The service was lacking. It took 30 minutes to even get the opportunity to place our order, which was stressful. Having to ask for things like a refill more than once made me feel like an inconvenience. read more

The bartender Jen is AWSOME, although the manager/waitress there named Amber I have health conserns with. I have watched her on multiple occasions making bloody Mary's and she has put the olives and pickles on the unsanitary server bar to grab more veggies to put on the toothpick then put them in a customers drink! Please be cautious!!! read more

We had a luncheon there after my father's funeral and they did a fabulous job. They made sure everyone was taken care of and that there was always food and drinks. The food was great. We were in our own space which is what you want for an event like this. They made sure to reserve a table for the immediate family. Definitely recommend. read more

First time in Detroit and I made it my mission to find Detroit style pizza- well mission accomplished. Not only was the pizza great, the toppings were fresh, the wings were awesome, and the service was excellent. If I'm ever back in Michigan I know where I'll be having dinner! read more

We were a group of 19, we had 1 waitress! One! The decor was very nice in line with Halloween! we sat together and she took our orders! Separate checks which was good. She took all of them if I remember correctly and brought them all out together! But I'll let the food speak for itself! read more

The food was really great the people were very nice that work there and me and my friends had a great time I recommend this place.

This is a new favorite find in the Detroit area. Today is actually taco Tuesday and they have great deals on tacos but I wanted to try the pizza. They have multiple types of pizzas and I went for the deep dish square. It was awesome! Fresh ingredients and very good. They actually have a huge menu with soups, salads, sandwiches, wings, and bigger entrees. I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices and specials. I love this place. 5 stars for the food and value. read more

Came in for dinner with the family and sat outside to enjoy the weather while we can lol Barbra did a great job! She told us she was new but we couldn't even tell! She knew the food & drink menu to a tea! Would definitely eat here again read more

HUGE KUDOS and shoutout to Shields! I placed an online order to be delivered for a large pizza with cheese on the whole thing, and toppings on just one side (so the kiddos could have only cheese). Unfortunately, toppings covered all of it I called, and they couldn't have been more apologetic!! Paul, the OWNER HIMSELF actually showed up at my door with a fresh hot cheese pizza and a bottle of wine for our inconvenience. I was blown away! Thank you Paul! We really appreciate what you did, and we will definitely give our business to Shields! read more

It's cold out and it snowed earlier. Seems like a good night for pizza, right. Been by and heard about this place thousands of times before. Decided to give it a whirl. We were seated a freshly dirty table, how nice is that. No one has come to take our order or clean our table yet. Order a chicken Parmesan, added sauce since some folks said they tend to skimp on the red sauce here. Order a regular Greek salad and a veggie small square with added garlic, spinach, yellow peppers and chicken too. The Greek salad was smaller than I was thinking for it feed two of us. Mixed greens. Cucumbers I could have done without, not necessary for a Greek to me. It was good overall and generous with the feta. Behind the curtain is a private party. I hear those horns for birthdays or NYE, the kazoo sounding ones. The square crust is quite thick and doughy. The sauce is rather sparse on my veggie too. The chicken is dried out like jerky on both pizzas. $3 for adding on dried chicken on my veggie, super. The chicken Parmesan is okay, they added more sauce. The sauce is chunky. I ate the top off the pizza on my other pieces, since the doughy thick dough wasn't doing it for me and it had little to no flavor to it. The crushed pepper helped get it down. Our table is once again dirty and messy on our departure too. No clean spot to sign the receipt. read more

Yes, I am giving a Detroit pizza icon an average rating because it earned it. I have eaten pizza in many states, lots of famous places, and award winners in the nation contests. The pizza I had wasn't the best Hawaiian, they call it Polynesian, not even close. Others in the group like theirs but none talked about it being the best. The J. L. Hudson salad was a take out and tried the next day. Its size said it was worth the price and could have feed 2-3. It was the worst Maurice salad I have ever had. The garbage disposer got at least half of it and it is almost a sin to me wasting food. The service and willingness to allow large groups helped me add 1 star. But if I want Detroit style pizza, I will stick to Buddy's. read more

Rock Solid detroit-style pizza in the top 10 of my favorite Square pizzas. The Gold Medal has a solid kick to it that is not for the timid but well worth it. THe parking is ample and they've got a great dinging area + bar. -1 star because carry out food has been stone-cold at times and it's always a gamble ordering "to-go" so I simply stopped doing it. Otherwise the pizza is fantastic, service being typical for tavern-style restaurant and big booths for cozy ambiance. 4 stars for great pizza read more

I haven't been here in yrs and my " large pizza " had barely any toppings on it all the way around - sad, I wont be going back for that price on cheese bread read more

The flatbread app was good. The basil on the deer dish pizza smelled and tasted bad and sort of ruined that pizza. The waitress was friendly and checked in as often as I would expect for how many tables she was waiting on. Most of the resturant felt clean except the entrance which felt very cluttered with flyers and event postings, one of which was for a free coffee at Tous Les Jours with a Shields receipt but was not actually being honored at Tour Les Jours. read more

Classic Detroit style pizza and I am a huge pizza connoisseur. My boyfriend and I decided to try Shields because we have passed it a ton of times but never tried it before. The first thing I noticed is, the pizza slices are huge!! One slice was the size of my hand! The small pizza came with 4 slices and the large had 8. If I'm being honest, this isn't my favorite Detroit style pizza. I though the dough was great but my pizza was lacking sauce. The lack of sauce and musty pizza did not make me the biggest fan. I think I might just have to try a different type of pizza because I didn't love it. I tried the grilled chicken parmesan pizza I also tried prime rib sandwich. The au jus that came with the sandwich was perfection. It was so delicious and juicy and the fries with the sandwich were delicious. Overall, not my favorite place, but not bad either. I'll have to try a different pizza next time I go back! read more

The server didn't write down our order, came back to confirm what we ordered, and still got a lot wrong. He talked about his (insert R-word here) son and using that slur is offensive. He kept calling us pet names like mom, dad, bro, etc and it felt unprofessional. Had the Baked Mac & Cheese Saturday special and it was bland with no seasoning. We purposely forgot our carry out boxes. read more
