Birria (8x10) pizza with consume and also medium spicy chipotle sauce
Frank O.

First experience was more in 4-4.5 star range but I'll round up to 5 with the hopes that next visit will be a saucier pizza. Overall great experience, and if you like this I suggest you also check out Fuji and Vi's in Pasadena. Ordered ahead by phone for take out of the small Birria pizza. I was quoted 20 min and it was in fact 20 min. This is Detroit Style deep dish, and there was delicious and crunchy cooked cheese crust all around. The birria pizza comes with consommé broth, and the staff also gave me some medium spiciness chipotle sauce. The pizza by itself has some robust flavor from the marinated beef, but it was also dry and salty. Dipping the crust in consommé fixes the dryness but now the broth flavor dominates (and I preferred the birria over the broth). The chipotle sauce didn't pair well with the Birria marinade. I was told that the Birria was the most popular, followed by 7-Cheese and Street Taco. I'll try a different pizza at next visit, and hopefully the street taco will be saucier, or pair better with the chipotle sauce. Or maybe a typically pepperoni with tomato sauce would be the right choice for me. Maybe both

Cheesy garlic bread- after this arrived we were too busy enjoying this to take any more pics!

My family and I went for lunch for the first time today. The first thing I noticed was how clean & organized the restaurant looked and how kind the staff was. Now the food- WOW!! This spot puts an unexpected twist on classic Detroit deep dish by adding a Mediterranean flair that really sets it apart. We tried the Detroit deep dish and the Mediterranean pizza. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with toppings and spices that give each bite amazing flavor. We also tried three types of wings and their AMAZING garlic bread cheese dip (which for THIS alone I will be back for!!) and everything was sooo good -- super tasty and satisfying. If you're looking for something different from your usual pizza night, this is the place. It may become your new favorite like it did mine!! Xtra Cheese is a MUST TRY!

HALF AND HALF

Great pizza spot but be prepared for a hit in the pocket. 40.00 for a large friends. Okay that said. Pizza was very good. Great CRUSR. SOME OF THD BEST I HAVE HAD. Tons of toppings and Great customer service. We ordered half and half...Chipotle shrimp and Mediterranean. My daughter loved them. I was not a fan guys. But I loved the crust. I will opt for pepperoni if I go back. MEAT toppings were frozen and tasted frozen to me. However...I am very picky. BOTH my daughters loved the pizza. I will definitely come back and just have pepperoni.

Detroit Pepperoni (8x10)
Kristina M.

Not super amazing, nor bad. I liked the texture of the crust; nice & crisp on the outside with that cheesy chewy dough as you bit and chewed into it. Got the Detroit Pepperoni and I think for me, it was just too much marinara for my liking. Pepperoni was large so I thought it was good proportion to the pizza and tasted delicious. Service was ok and just overall quiet. The place is quaint, super casual, clean, and had plenty of seating area options. Nothing above average, nor anything bad to say about this place. They have other food options on their menu besides pizza; like Pastas, Salads, Wings so in case anybody was curious if they served anything else but pizza. Captures of menu attached for your reference.

Forgot to do a before and after picture but here is the after lol had there street taco pizza and man it was delicious the blend of everything is amazing and the crust is so cheesy and burnt it blends in perfectly with the asada reminds me of getting a queso taco and then I had the Detroit pizza and added ricotta cheese to it if you live close by and haven't had this place i definitely recommend it both pies get a 10/10 for me

Garlic parmesan wings
Maheen K.

We tried this place out and were not disappointed in all three items. Everything had a different taste to it than what we normally are used to. Came out pipping hot and customer service was spectacular. Garlic parmesan wings: one pound to share amongst the three of us. The flavor was awesome. I could eat this all day every day. You could actually taste the flavors. Fettuccine Alfredo pasta: again the freshness and quality was great. I could taste the garlic in this dish as well and it was great. I actually warmed up next day and ate as well to find the taste stayed. Sometimes you lose the ump, but this kept it. Taco pizza: I think this could use a little bit more meat on top, but the flavor profile was amazing. We used the jalepeno ranch with this and the pizza and sauce were all amazing. We will be back to try other items on the menu as we were highly satisfied with all three dishes. One star dock for more meat on pizza, but flavors were on point.

I really like this place. I don't eat pork and the meat topping style taste great. They have the best tomato sauce I have ever tasted. I have been coming here for 3 years.

Detroit Pepperoni (8x10)
Louis P.

Omgaaws this pizza. Saw this on my IG feed from couple of fellow foodies. I had the Detroit Pepperoni, so good. Legit Detroit style pizza, which is toppings & cheese then the sauce gets out on too. Workers are nice and helpful. Be prepared to wait as its made fresh. Pro Tip: Get the Garlic Cheesy pull-apart bread. Fire.

Quick service the kind person asked if we were new to the place and we said yes and she was able to break down the menu for us and was able to explain what was most popular and also tell us about things they recommend and how everything is made in house. We ordered and were told it would be 20 minutes the place is small but cute and has seating areas. The food was amazing. It had a perfect crunch on the edges and it tasted so good! We will definitely come back. The garlic bread was good and had a nice garlicy parmesan taste!

Detroit Pepperoni
Paul S.

High quality, halal, delicious dough and ingredients. Get the Detroit Pepperoni. It's a different style compared to the boring pizza out there

Birria+cheeseburger pizza
Pat C.

My vote for the best, non-NY style pizzeria this side of LA County. This joint specializes in Detroit style pies, but it's their regional twist on them that really puts them above the rest -Birria pizza being a prime example. It is exactly how it sounds, executed perfectly with the dip and the crunch of the burnt cheese crust being phenomenal. If you like bold flavors, this is the place. 5 solid stars.

Do not walk to Xtra Cheese. Run. One day, I was sitting in my car at a stop light, windows down. And I took a breath. And smelled what could only be described as heavenly. It smelled so good and I was like what the heck where is this coming from. I look over to Xtra Cheese, a place I had foolishly and ignorantly driven by before. I quickly googled reviews and pictures, saw that it had great reviews and possibly the best looking deep dish pizza I've seen. Today was the day I tried that pizza. S tier pizza. Like insanely good. Crazy fresh ingredients too. Worth the price, worth everything. And I've only had one pizza (I got the Mediterranean chicken one - twas gas (that means delicious)) but I know, I KNOW, I will be going back. Probably sooner than I should but I truthfully don't care, the pizza was just amazing. The service was great - super fast, only waited like 15 maybe 20 minutes. They threw in a cookie for me to add a review, and honestly I think it was more for a joke because the pizza in itself was so delicious that I was ready to make a review. Fantastic place, will be back again. Cookie was great too.

Garlic Bread Cheese Dip. Sooooo good!
Cindy S.

Xtra Cheese serves up Detroit style pizza! The menu also includes: pastas, salads, appetizers, wings, and can/bottle beverages only. We got the Detroit pepperoni and Supreme pizza. Omg it's good! The thick crust had a light airy dough and crispy texture with perfect caramelized cheese at the edges. The pizza sauce was great! Not too acidic or sweet; nicely seasoned. A must order is the garlic sauce cheese bread! It's like a cheese lava bread. Order it! Now this style pizza does NOT taste as good at room temperature, so your going to want to eat it "hot" right away or heat it up when you get home. I was able to fix the pizza slices a day after with my air fryer. If you like Detroit style pizzas or consider yourself a pizza enthusiasts, go ahead and check this place out! The staff there are friendly and the pizzas great!

I ordered a chicken shawarma plate for pickup, and wow--every bite was incredible! The food was…read moremade fresh, and it showed. The chicken was juicy and seasoned perfectly, the rice was packed with flavor, and the fries? Hot, crispy, and golden--just how I like them. I also added a side of garlic sauce, and I'm so glad I did. It was creamy, bold, and perfect for dipping fries (and honestly, everything else). You can tell they put real care into every part of the meal. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, even just during a quick pickup. The restaurant was spotless, and I noticed how clean and inviting the dining area looked. Bonus: parking was super easy with plenty of spots right in front. I can't wait to come back with my family.

I called in to place a pickup order and later noticed a "convenience fee" on my receipt. It wasn't…read moreexplained, so I'm not sure if it was for ordering by phone or something else. I arrived about 20 minutes after placing the order but still had to wait another 20 minutes, making the total wait time about 40 minutes. The beef shawarma was disappointing--it wasn't thinly sliced as expected but more like chopped or minced beef, and the flavor just wasn't up to par. I also ordered three kibbeh balls but only received two; the third was oddly replaced with chicken nugget pieces. The chicken tawook wrap was poorly prepared, lacked flavor, and was very underwhelming. Overall, the food didn't taste good, and with the long wait and odd substitutions without considerations. I wouldn't recommend this place.
