    Pizza FLIGHT!! Top L, Brotherly Love. Top R, Aloha BBQ. Bottom L, Curse of the goat. Bottom R Brickhouse Bee Sting. YUM!
    Jess C.

    This spot was so fun!! We stopped on a random weekday afternoon while passing through town. They have PIZZA FLIGHTS - this idea is absolutely genius!! You can pick up to four different pizzas that come out as one big pie! I LOVE unique pizza and always have a hard time choosing which one to try - this idea is just the absolute best!! My husband and I both chose 2 pizzas to have included in our flight - everyone wins!! :) We chose Aloha BBQ, Brickhouse Bee Sting, Curse of the Goat, and Brotherly Love. We also requested a side of ranch! They have delicious ranch! Every pizza was so tasty and we loved every single bite!! The beer choices are also great!! My husband and I both enjoyed our selections and they paired so nicely with the pizza!! My Husband chose Fog Out, a New England IPA. I ordered the Pour of 84, a Pilsner and ode to the 84 Detroit Tigers! So cool!! They have a super cute outdoor eating space! Several 2 seaters up on their cute wrap around porch and then many more picnic style tables out in their side yard! Perfect for a lakeshore restaurant experience! This place is truly so fun! Definitely worth checking out!!

    Aloha bbq pizza

    Great lunch spot in downtown Saugatuck! Tried the aloha bbq pizza and margarita pizza which had soft chewy crust and were loaded with toppings. Both were delicious and filling for our party of four to share. There was also a good selection of draft beers (including a sour/tart beer!) as well as regular soft drinks. Service was quick and very friendly. Small indoor seating available with AC as well as an outdoor patio.

    The Italian

    Had the Italian and it was good. I didn't like that the topping slid off due to no sauce, however it was awesome great tasting pizza. Good beers on tap and great apps.

    Mediterranean pizza

    Our group of 10 came in on a Sunday afternoon to grab some lunch and drinks. We sat at 2 picnic tables on the patio. Several of us tried their beers, which they enjoyed. We ordered the Margherita pizza, the Mediterranean pizza, the pickle Play bread sticks, garlic knots, the Big Show (12" pretzel with sauces). We also ordered a pizza flight, which had 4 different pizzas (no photo of that one). The Mediterranean pizza was a bit disappointing, the flavor was a bit flat. Nothing stood out, kind of bland actually. The potential was great with toppings like roasted garlic, feta, olives, artichokes, basil and balsamic glaze. It was just missing something, we thought the feta was so mild, that we wouldn't have known it was there, if we didn't see it. The Margherita pizza waa much better. The Big Show pretzel tasted great, we liked the mustard they served with it. The garlic knots were tasty. My nieces were very happy with Pickle play bread sticks, but they didn't have the panko bread crumbs like the menu says.

    Made it a goal to check this location off the list before heading up North for another location of The Mitten Brewing. I enjoyed that it was slightly on the outside of Saugatuck so you could get away from the summer crowds. It was a cute little place offering some inside seating and outdoor seating as well. The beer was delightful and meet with a nice breeze. The staff was friendly. We didn't stick around for long as we had stops to make, but overall a nice little pit stop.

    Pesto chicken pizza

    Exceptional customer service! We found this gem on Yelp. We walked by it earlier and didn't realize it was the same spot. When we walked by, the staff was sooo friendly. The staff at The Mitten Brewing truly care about their customers. I ordered a pizza to go via Yelp. I didn't get a confirmation email so I popped in before my pizza pick up time to make sure it went through. The team called Grand Rapids to make sure I didn't order at the wrong place. Once they confirmed the order wasn't there, they expedited our order. While we waited, we were able to order a drink. We snuck in a piece of pizza because we had to check into our lodging. Pesto chicken is sooo good. Not only are the people amazing and the customer service off the chain, the food is so good! Pesto pizza was just the thing we needed to take to our camp ground. Definitely will be back next time we are in the area

    Beer flight
    Janelle P.

    Such a fun stop! Their Michigan beer flights are chef's kiss and the pizza is way better than expected for a brewery. Chill spot with great local flavor combos. Outdoor patio is great.

    Our airbnb host recommended this small little restaurant. We can on a Friday night and parking was not bad. However, since it is a small restaurant, there was very limited seating. My friends and I ordered drinks from the bar and found a high table and situated ourselves there while waiting for our pizza. We got beer flights and the beers were all tasty. I think we got the pesto chicken flavor. The pizza came out and it was pretty good. I'm not a big pizza person but it was decent. My friends liked it too.

    Celiac Foodie: Overall a good experience. Walking downtown Saugatuck stopped in to check out this Brewery to see if they offer Gluten Free items. Spoke to Drew, very knowledgeable on Cross Contamination, explained how the kitchen treats the GF dough & other options. Small indoor seating area with tables, low & high top, flat screen TVs showing sports and napkins on the table. Paper plates and plastic silverware are provided. Service was slow once we seated. Tried a sample of the Sangria and Cider that are Gluten Free. Very smooth & delicious. Ordered the Gluten Free Crust Pizza with Ham and Extra Pineapple. Sauce had a spice, very tasty and crust was slightly doughy in the center but with crisp edge. May have needed to be cooked a little longer. No illness from consuming product. Happy Dining!

    Met up for a double date, amazing cider selection. And the pizza flight was so yummy and unique. My Chicagoan husband so the pizza reminded him of home slice, happy camper, and paradise park! Outside and inside where a cute cottage vibe. And to top everything off our server was exceptional! Will definitely be back

    Pizza!
    Mark H.

    First let me say that while the beer is very good, the reason I come here is because The Mitten has excellent pizza. Several speciality types as well as build your own. I love the outdoor seating area. This is a perfect place to get pizza and a beer (or 3) on a nice sunny afternoon. And it's dog friendly, so don't hesitate to bring Fido. I do wish they would improve their hours as this would be a great place to grab lunch. The only downside is that parking is at a premium in the summer. But that's true of any downtown Saugatuck establishments.

    Sangria
    Brie G.

    The Mitten has the nicest staff! It's so rare these days, but that alone is a great reason to visit. I came here with friends last weekend and was happy to see it was steady but not crazy busy. We were able to snag a few benches around a fire pit to seat our group of 8 outside. Dog friendly made it the perfect spot! While there, I enjoyed a glass of their red sangria, made with their cider. It was tasty! I also ran into my old Yelp Community Manager from Indy, Britt, and her family. WHAT?! Clearly great Yelp minds think alike. If we hadn't just eaten I would have definitely delved into their food menu. Next time!

    a great stop in a tourist town located in a restored Victorian firehouse done with an old school baseball theme. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating the outdoor seating is perfect for people watching a great way for a relaxing afternoon. Walking by the smell amazing pizza will lure you in or take a look at the size of the pretzel. They offer both Beer , Wine and Cider. The bartender was very informative about the beverages they offer

    The pizza was phenomenal. The mix of different ingredients in our pizza flight was fabulous. On the other hand, the beer was only fair.

If i recall it was only a 12 inch personal pizza for 15 bucks.. And the chicken in the pot was soggy because they steamed it for an hour before we where able to access it. We noticed a safety hazard and made sure management noted it for when we leave and not shortly after that they jacked up the music very very loud intending to kick us out. Overall we where really disappointed and would not recommend this place for a get together.

Although it was busy, we were seated immediately. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, which helped the wait. The menu is fairly short, but that wasn't an issue since there were still plenty of appealing options. I started with the Dragon's Milk Toasted Marshmallow drink. Based on the name, I expected something sweet, but it was much more bitter than anticipated. We also ordered the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinwheels, and they were incredible. Crispy, flavorful, and easily one of the best appetizers I've had at a restaurant. I highly recommend giving them a try. For my meal, I got the Dixie Luau, their take on a Hawaiian pizza. It was excellent. The crust was the perfect thickness, and the toppings were generous. What really stood out was the pineapple, it tasted fresh and high quality compared to the canned pineapple that many places use. If the weather is nice, definitely ask to sit on the front patio. It was the perfect place to relax, enjoy the food, and do a little people-watching. The atmosphere was great, and I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in the area.

The food was good, but a little pricey for what it was. We ordered tge brussel sprouts, and felt the lacked something. We got a side of balsamuc reduction for $2, and that helped. We also shared a 12" Hollander pizza. The sauce was creamy, and the sweetness from the caramelized onions was a great touch. Red pepper flakes helped balance out the flavors. We felt like there was too much crust. Having 2 inches of crust made us feel like we were missing sauce, and I didn't like the crust without the sauce. It was overall good, but not a place we would feel the need to visit again in future travels.
