Awesome pizza perfectly cooked, great service, would come back and order other things on menu

I'm sorry, but I don't get the rave reviews. I HATE not giving positive reviews but start making a less-than-acceptable pizza at a ridiculous price and you get my attention in the wrong way. As a New Haven pizza fan, the REAL kind, I was extremely disappointed. I know that after having eaten the real New Haven (Pepe's, Sally's, and Modern), I need to tighten down my expectations, but come on! They have these beautiful ovens, a nice, clean, and pleasant place and they turn out what I would consider pizza no better, perhaps a little less good than Hungry Howies thin crust pizza! New Haven is supposed to be crispy and chewy, NOT soggy. I tried Farmington Hills a few months ago and ate in, then last week tried Birmingham and carried out. For those of you thinking that my carry-out experience may have been bad due to the 3 miles I had to drive home, but I've carried out a LOT of pies from a LOT of locations, and I DO take that into account. There are some positives: The ingredients were impeccable. Fresh, high-quality cheese and the mushrooms were done really well. The pepperoni was of good quality but nothing worth writing home about. There are a lot of great pepperonis in the area. The doneness was great. It wasn't over- or undercooked. The flavor was good, but not, as some have said, amazing. In both cases, the crust was limp and soggy, NOT chewy and crispy. Not in the least. I don't mind if it's a little bit floppy, but not like this. An analogy I might give is to compare Tomatoes Apizza to Modern Apizza in actual New Haven is like comparing Jets Pizza to Loui's. Jet's is fine, but Loui's! (If you know, you know). To me, Modern in New Haven is at par, and not to be sacrilegious to our beloved Detroit Style, with Loui's or Palazzo Di Pizza, so it's not a style issue. My two experiences were both the same, so I don't know what to think. I'll give them one more try at some point. read more

Great pizza, friendly staff, super easy pickup. Cute spot with very limited eating space, this is mostly a pick up location. Great pizzas! The krab was very enjoyable, and the large sampler was a hit. Will definitely be back for more when I'm in the area! read more

Had a work meeting with pizza delivered for our lunch, and wow, it was amazing! I'd never heard of this place before, but I'll definitely be ordering from them again. read more

If you want an amazing pizza that's not Detroit's typical deep dish come here. An awesome New Haven style thin crust with an awesome crispy bottom. Crust made from scratch sourdough, fresh mozzarella cheese a beautiful sweet tasting sauce and the pizza is made in a coal fired oven! This place is a must try read more

We ordered the Large Naples Sampler with extra garlic for takeaway and it really did not disappoint. It was perfectly thin, charred, and chewy. The Classic was probably my favorite of the 4 - just the right balance of flavors. Some of the most authentic and tastiest pizzas I've ever had! The only negative was that we had ordered over the phone and by the time we arrived at the restaurant at their specified time, they didn't even start our order yet. read more

Tomatoes APIZZA - Large Naples Sampler - Pizza Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I'm not even sure why they would send the pizza this badly burnt. It's not well done, it's definitely burnt. We order from the bham location somewhat regularly but lately it's been a disappointment. Not only was it burnt but it was cut very sloppy and so salty. It was very difficult for my kids to eat. The only reason why I'm giving it a 1 star is because the chocolate piadina was good. read more

Only had it as takeout in our office. But I will say the meatballs are what they must serve in heaven. They were the best I ever had. Pizza was fantastic too...but those meatballs!!!! read more

Expensive, but worth every penny! Their sauce is fantastic. I very easy to get caught up and eat more than you want to! So good.

I have to say this is some tasty pizza! I love the Margherita basil with extra sea salt and oil! Great service, they do deliver quite far as well. I would only carry out here though, the place is quite small and lacks atmosphere if you are wanting a dining experience, The place is more so made for carry out. Unusually cut pizza, but who cares when it tastes like that! 10/10 read more

Pizza here is good, but not SUPER expensive good. The pieces are super floppy and cut in an odd fashion. Sauce is super salty. Not worth the price. read more

I don't know why they insist on cutting the pizza in to slivers. Happened multiple times even after I requested them to cut from center out to the crust. Pizza was also very salty. read more

THE ABSOLUTE best pizza in town. I have been a customer of Tomatoes APIZZA for years now, and it has never done my dirty! I have tried pizza from all over the country, and this is still my favorite. It is always good! I love the pepperoni pizza and the green pizza. So so yummy! read more

Ordered a small Naples sampler with pepperoni, small green pizza, added mushrooms, onions, mixed peppers (green and red), basil and anchovies on one side only and a Naples salad too. The green pizza was topped immensely with toppings, nice coverage for sure. The pizza did get a bit soggy and flimsy, but it still tasted good. The crust was hard, but the rest was a bit soggy, might be due to the weight of the toppings though. I tend to like a salad on my pizza and kill two birds with one stone. :) The Naples pizza looks like a nice variety. read more

By far one of my favorite spots for pizza, especially apizza style. Very flavorful and delicious. My order was later than expected, and for pizza it was a bit long of a wait time and actually ended up being a bit burnt, but nonetheless the service was nice and it was great! read more

flavor is the best, and we lived in CT for years and years - this is a new haven style pie. We find the adults in our fam love this style the most while kids are less smitten but, their tastes will improve with age! awesome toppings and thin oven crust. read more

Ok Frankie. One bite, everyone knows the rules. This quickly spreading local chain is attempting to capitalize on Dave Portnoy's love of New Haven style pizza. Is this New Haven style pizza? I don't know, I've never had it. Is this good pizza? Meh? Portnoy's pet peeve is a floppy pizza. This pie has a heavily charred crust and a super floppy undercarriage. It's kind of tough but chewy. Not the biggest fan of the flavor of the dough. Has a definite weird taste to it. The sauce and cheese and pepperoni are outstanding. A large is absolutely humongous. And not only is it huge, it is hugely expensive! But then again, they are next to Papa Joe's in downtown Birmingham; probably the most expensive commercial real estate. I'm glad I tried it but I'm not sure I would have it again. read more

My favorite spot in the Birmingham/Troy/Royal Oak area to get pizza (or apizza for those that know)! I ordered the Naples Sampler as it accommodates for all taste buds and picky eaters alike. I love me some New Haven style has that crunch, crisp, and thin-y quality. You can really taste that delicious coal fire in the char of the undercarriage. It's really a take out only kind of spot so can't say too much about the ambience. Also, every time I have talked to the staff, every one has been very accommodating and friendly. read more

"One bite, everyone knows the rules..." except for us, apparently. We took many bites, but it couldn't be helped. This pizza was Amazing; of course, at the time we had it, it was still carry out only. So we're already making plans to dine in. The classic pepperoni was fantastic, but the mushroom and onion pizza was my favorite. We had never tried "new haven" style pizza before. I enjoyed it far more than any Chicago style. All the ingredients tasted fresh. The only reason for the four stars was the cheese bread. It was just ok, but I'm sure that was because of the carry out. Like I said, we are looking forward to eating at the establishment! read more

I was headed into Papa Joe's when I noticed Tomatoes APIZZA located next door. After a quick grocery trip, I stopped into the very clean location set up for take-out/delivery. This is very different from the large, sit-down place that I am accustomed to in Farmington Hills. A quick glance at the menu and decision made: crab pizza and cheese bread. The menu is very simple. For pizzas, you can choose your own toppings or there were a few chef creations. Additionally, you can select salads, pasta, or bread. I waited in my car (COVID) - for 10 minutes only - while the staff prepared my order. The smell of garlic was tantalizing as I drove home. Since there was a ton of road construction, my order was cool rather than piping hot by the time I got home. I had to pop both into the oven for a few minutes for a refresh. The crab was sweet and delicate. The thinly-sliced garlic complemented the overall flavors, as did the squeeze of lemon. The cheese bread, served with tomato sauce, was garlic goodness. I wish I ordered the Naples sampler, 4 different pizza toppings on one pizza. I like trying different flavors. I am glad that there is yet another option for pizza - since it appears that COVD ignited my interest in pizza. I went from having pizza maybe twice a year to pizza all the time. read more

Very solid pizza...expensive but worth it...we had a pizza playoff at work and bought pepperoni pizzas from 3 different places...Tomatoes was the unanimous first place winner. Likely a top 10 pizza in the Metro Detroit area (and that's saying a lot) read more

Pizza burned to a crisp multiple times. The owner? (old man with white hair) has NO problem giving customers burnt food whereas the other cooks have burned a pizza before and have said ''Let me remake that for you''. Dude just cares about his bottom line and not wasting ANY ingredients. Place needs new owners who care about their reputation and food quality going forward, not a burnt out shell of a human who doesn't care anymore. read more

Great pizza, the red is particularly good. Personally I think the sauce could be sweeter and there should be less/no pecorino to reduce the saltiness. read more

First time having Tomatoes APIZZA and it was wonderful. Reminded me very much of pizza we would enjoy in Italy. The large is LARGE. But it's a very thin crust and makes for excellent leftovers. We loved the Naples Sampler as it gave us a little taste of everything. We ordered takeout from the Birmingham location and it was an easy process. The prices are higher than normal pizza prices, but the quality of ingredients are much better than some other pizza places. Would definitely order from here again! read more

Their pizza and salads are fresh and filling. Also, their croutons are a side dish, so yum!

I already knew tomatoes a pizza was good. Ordered catering for a party. Manager, bill was such a friendly honest man! He told me it was going to be too much food and I really appreciated it. I still ended up ordering way too much food but he was very helpful. Our delivery driver so kind also. Thank you for catering my event! read more

I lived in the dc area for forty years until moving to BNGM 35 years ago. Have had a decent pizza or two but none that won my heart. We finally had a pizza from these guys and it just blewbus a say. Great crust, sperurb toppings, great sauce? Absolutely the bestbpizza in decades. Tremendous. read more

Love getting carry out pizza from this place. The pepperoni is unique here, it has a fantastic rich and salty flavor. Excellent charcoal fire pizza crust. It's a small interior, really only big enough for carry out or to sit and eat a quick lunch. The staff is very kind and patient, even at peak pickup times. read more

What a gem of a find! We had no idea this place was here, it happened to pop up on yelp when we were looking for something quick to grab to eat. We ordered the Naples Sampler. The pizza ended up being the perfect compromise for our family. I got to try lots of different flavor combos, my partner got a perfectly thin crispy crust, and my little got pepperonis and fun-shaped slices. We ate the whole thing and it was the perfect amount. We will absolutely be back. read more

Tomatoes APIZZA - Naples Sampler with pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

They make a nice thin crust pizza except 2 key points to consider: 1. the sauce is very salty. Avoid adding ham, pepperoni, bacon or anything else with added salt on top as it is already very very salty to begin with. 2. It's EXTREMELY expensive read more

Everyone who likes pizza probably has a place that they know of that they think makes the best pizza in the world. But, I humbly suggest you will revise your opinion once you try the pizza at Tomatoes. To give you a true picture of why the pizza is so dang good here, I really do have to break down all the elements so you know why. First, let's start with the name: the sweet and slightly tangy flavor of the San Marzano tomatoes is unmistakable, and you can almost taste the sunshine of the Italian countryside where they were grown. This really sets it apart from a garden-variety (pun intended) tomato sauce. There's a touch of garlic and seasoning that elevate it, but you really get a full taste of the tomato. One thing I love about the thin crust at Tomatoes is that it really highlights what's on top of the crust. While there is a satisfying chew to a deep dish pizza, the crust in that kind of pizza does share top billing with the toppings. Not so here. The crust, while then, still supports everything on top of it perfectly, with a very slight crunch with every bite. When you get to the outside crust, it's perfect and crispy. If you're somebody who normally discards the crust, you won't want to here. Normally, I'm bored with pepperoni pizza, but I love the pepperonis here. My only gripe is that they don't put many on the pizza. And, there's just the right amount of cheese to play with the other elements perfectly. While you're at it, order some garlic bread. As authentic as everything in the pizza is, it probably won't surprise you that they use actual garlic on this bread, not garlic salt like most places. I can't believe I just spent six paragraphs describing pizza and bread, but, I'm already thinking about the next time when I can order another pizza from here. read more

How can this be possible 69 dollars for a large pizza and a Cesar salad. Well it is possible that's what we paid last night. Not going to patronize this business anymore. FYI. Pizza was only ok read more

The classic red sauce is VERY good. We added mushrooms and bacon and it was Fabulous! Recommend ordering " light on the crust" otherwise you will get an authentic wood fire charred crust. Another tip: confirm the store location you call. We placed a pick up order at what we thought was the Birmingham store but we accidentally called the Farmington Hills store. The large size is LARGE and the small is SMALL. The sauce divine. The team is cheerful but busy! There aren't any eat-in tables; service is to-go only. The space is clean with soaring ceilings with an open-concept. Highly recommend and have returned several times since! read more

First time trying - great thin crust, more authentic style pizza! I like that they do a large sampler like this it's perfect for get together or to just try different flavors if going for your first time read more

Great thin crust pizza. We tend to get the four recipe sampler. We like the variety.

Just tried them last night. Got the large sample, it is really huge but the dough is really thin, reminds me of neapolitan pizza. Each section had unique flavor but I liked the most the tomato garlic and regular margherita. The green was very good too, but I wish they put some additional white sauce. It was a little dry with all that spinach. Good pizza and we will definitely try some more in the future read more

The worst dried out pizza I have ever had. It was like eating cardboard with cheese and sauce. I literally asked that the dough not be overcooked and both pizza and cheese bread were dried-out-over-baked....poor excuse for pizza. Oh, did I mention the grease? Both pizza and bread had excessive grease...which leaked through the box! I totally lost my appetite. I like TomatoesApizza...but the Birmingham location needs some pizza cooking lessons from the staff at the 14 Mile & Middlebelt location. If you want good pizza go to the Farmington Hills restaurant. Always a great pizza! read more

This is one of my favorite pizza joints in Detroit. It's New England style pizza...thin crust, crispy & just divine! We always get their house salad too which has enough stuff (garbanzo beans, house made croutons, delicious ranch, cucumbers, tomatoes) to fill you up alone! We always go to the one in Birmingham although I hear the Farmington hills one has an awesome brunch option. This one is take out only. Usually good service too...Magy is the best there-never messes up order and is always kind even when they are very busy. Speaking of busy, they are usually "always" busy so order at least one hour ahead on busy nights. **Dessert: their Nutella pizza comes in their dough rolled like a calzone and taste way better than Nutella. read more

Great food. Awesome service. Top 3 pizza I've had in Detroit area and I truly look forward to coming back.

Love the salad on the lunch buffet. Really easy to make it keto. The pizza is pretty good. I don't think they have the spicy pepper pizza anymore which was my favorite. Hopefully someone will respond and let us know. read more
