Update: The AGM personally called me to apologize for the mix up and make things right. They occasionally make mistakes like we all do -- but I'll say their customer service is top notch 100%!! He didn't ask me to update my review and I don't do that unless it's legit. ---- Yeah I need to revise my review bc they've been messing up a lot lately. When they're on, they're on, but a lot has been wrong lately. I patronize this place at least weekly (usu doordash) and I'm pretty disappointed with several recent orders. * Pizza well done (i.e., burned) * Ordered no ham on a sandwich, so they proceeded to literally put one thin slice of salami on the sandwich * Tonight, handed the wrong order to the doordash driver (there can be more than one person with the same first name as was the case here, so you gotta double check the order itself/order number). I waited 40 min or more to get someone else's deep dish pizza that I can't eat and deal with the hassle of getting a replacement or refund from doordash

We had the dinner for two special. $39 for two. It included a salad, an appetizer and a pizza. VERY generous portions. We had the Greek salad and the burrito on toasted baguette with pesto. For the pizza we had the pizza Bianca. Everything was just right. The portions were so generous that half the pizza, a quarter of the salad and a third of the burrata came home with us. We were so impressed that we bought a $50 gift card to give to a friend. The service was great. Friendly and efficient. Thanks Aaron The ambience is also good. Airy, open and well styled Do yourself a favor and get over there soon.

I love the quality of the pizzas and salads here; it's a large space with plenty of seating and a great ambiance. I'm particularly fond of the lunch specials. It's a steal! Parking can be rough. While there's a small parking lot next to the restaurant, it seems to be reserved for employees.

We had a really nice lunch a good vegetarian pizza and the salad was delicious. I highly recommend stopping by- the pizza was with us in about 10 minutes from the order so I call that really fast, our waiter was courteous and made so E good suggestions. I like the interior. It's very well decorated and we sat at a high tip which is great for me to get up and out - I have trouble sometimes- I will be back. The serving size was just right for two- with the salad and the medium pizza - we took some home for dinner the next day-

We ordered a 12-inch Deep All Star last night and it was delicious! While $37 is not cheap for one pizza, they did not skimp on the toppings. There was plenty of sausage, meatballs, pepperoni, bacon, tomato sauce, and provolone cheese. It was very hearty and will last us at least one more meal. The small Greek Salad was also more than plenty for 2 people. Sadly, no pictures. The camera did not eat first this time, but we did.

Pretty popular pizza spot in our neighborhood so we wanted to see what it is all about! This place gets credit off the bat for making three different pizza styles in house with a variety of options for toppings. If you like pizza you know how hard it is to find one good pizza joint with one style. The service is great, the workers were pleasant which added to our experience of coming to dine in. Food came out very quickly and we definitely had our fill. Now let's get to the food: Starter - Goddess Salad (5/5). It was really delicious and had plenty of texture (crunch) that made this a fun salad to share. The regular size is plenty for a party of 2 to share. They nailed down the combination of flavors and peppered it at the table to our taste. They took their time preparing this. Pizza - We did half and half in the bigger size, California & the All Star. Both DETROIT STYLE. (4/5) Full disclosure, I am from NYC so I am biased toward flat crust, my wife did really enjoy the thick doughy texture. They did a very good job on the crust, corner pieces are a great combo of crunchy and soft dough and toppings. I thought the All Star was a little light on the tomato sauce but that may be because of the style of pizza we selected. The toppings on the All Star were well done, for the amount they put on there it wasn't too crowded and most of it stayed on. The California is a fine choice for this Detroit style. Well balanced greens and balsamic reduction on top of the dough and pesto base was very tasty. A little red pepper flakes on this bad boy and you got a solid pizza. For two people we had about 3 pieces of pizza to take home after we were satiated (8 total to start with). Price wise you are much better coming here to get an above average pizza instead of Round table.
