Probably the best Pizza in Michigan. Definitely top 5. Probably top 10 in the whole country. Definitely top 20. Yes it's that good. Now let me tell you a story.
The day I drove here was very foggy. There was zero vizzy-bility. I remember it well because it was announced on the radio that the owner of this place had killed a top pop musician who had been #1 in the Billboard Airplay Charts 3 years running. I wrote a song about it. "Vizzy's-owner Killed The Radio Star." It buggles me why it never became a hit.
Vizzy's is like a hospital. You can only come here during Vizzy-ting hours. Which are: lunch time to close. So please bear that in mind. Literally, bear in mind, as in, focus all of your attention on a cute Panda or Koala, and think of nothing else. It is literally the only way to enjoy their famous and sensational pizza.
But I was annoyed with the sodas. They had no carbonation. Flat. In other words, they were no longer vizzy.
Looks like there is a new challenger for the very best pizza in all of Detroit, which is arguably the best pizza city in the whole world. So I usually only buy pizza from places that serve slices because I have just so many pizzerias to try, so I may as well start off with places that just sell it by the slice. Well, this dude spent time on the phone talking me into trying an actual pizza, which was dirt cheap anyway. He changed my life, when he did that.
Joe Pesci loves it, so does Marisa Tomei (and I love her). That's why they starred in a movie about this place: My Cousin Vizzy.
So yes, this guy did me a huge favour when he convinced me to buy a personal size pizza which I never usually do. Since it was under $5 (same price as a lot of New York slices! So what's the difference, except this was bigger and fresher!), and since he sounded so enthusiastic - as did the reviews - I decided to call back and give it a try after initially declining it. One of the best decisions I ever made.
Liquor store next door, too, in case you want "Whiskey In The Jar." That's a song by the way. Originally performed by "Thin Vizzy."
This thick gooey cheesy crusty flavourful perfection is the ultimate example of why Detroit Pizza rules all Pizza. The cheese is thick and perfect and the sauce is rich and wet and tomatoey and the crust is gooey and chewy and tasty, and the pepperoni which I upgraded to spicy for a dollar (so should you) is some of the best I've had.
By the way you know that blonde girl from Australia, who raps "Black Widow" and "Work" and "Bang Bang" with the lovely Ariana Grande? She's named after this place. Vizzy Azalea. Or is it Iggy Vizzylea. Idk. Idc. Dilligaf.
One of the most enthusiastic owners of any business anywhere, making some of the best pizza I've had in the whole country. It's right up there with my two or three favourites in the Downriver area (BCs, Primo's), and let me emphasize that Detroit Pizza is the very best in the world, alongside maybe Buffalo pizza - so you need to get here and try it for yourself.
By the way, the Pope loves Vizzy's, and often gets them imported to the Vizzytican City. Or is that the Vatican Vizzy. Idk. Idc. Dilligaf.
I actually met some crazy African a-capella singing guys here, using Swiss singing styles, but they were also fascinating. I would describe them as "Very Interesting Zambian Zealot Yodelers". Or VIZZYs for short.
I don't want to keep making bad jokes, lest you all take the Pizzy out of me.
And if it's so good that you wear it around your neck, it's "Vizzy's Pizza Necklace." And if they open a location in the French Capital, it's "Vizzy's Pizza Paris." And if I do an "American Pie" but replace the Pie with a Vizzy's Pizza because it's just so warm and gooey and sexy, then I'll end up with a sauce-covered "Vizzy's Pizza Penis."
