Customer Reviews

Get the pineapple glazed chicken. Very flavorful and the chicken was still crispy. Also really enjoyed the pizza and mozzarella sticks. The chopped cheese was good but not my favorite. Will definitely come back for the pizza.

Great experience our first time going here. My Mom was excited they had gluten free options - which actually tasted great. We tried the cheesey garlic bread, the meatsah pizza and the shaved brussel sprout salad. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. We were in town to see a favorite band at Snug Harbor and this is very close and conveniently walkable. We all agreed we would go there again.

Went during the great snow storm of '26. Glad they were open and got to try their awesome deep dish pixxa. They varied from cheese and pepperoni, to vodka pesto and nashville hot chicken with pickles. Great experience, great service, great pizza, but to be honest the star of the show was the burger That is a must try and a pleasant surprise from a pizza place.

In this area with so many choices- this is a winner!!! I'm from Detroit and they have great Detroit (thick/crust) pizza at a reasonable price served by wonderful people in a really great space. It's worth looking for and it's also way bigger inside so nice place to hang and watch people. Lots of parking in back or around either corner- check it out!

A friend and I came here on a Tuesday night to grab a pizza and some beers. I had no expectations going in, and I was very impressed by the end of the night! We sat at the bar, and the bartender, JoDee, was fantastic. She recommended one of the beers on tap, and it is now one of my favorite (unfortunately seasonal) beers. For food, we ordered the MVP pizza and caesar salad with chicken. The pizza was unique and crispy. The salad was refreshing and had the perfect level of dressing. This is one of those places that could be a really nice date night or a nice spot to catch up friends. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Mother's Day weekend with the family was spent with dinner at Emmy Squared Pizza . This was our first time eating there and I must say the food didn't disappoint. Customer service was great as our server was very attentive, and food came out quickly. Our daughter wasn't fond of the salad, and they were accomidating and understanding of our sending it back. I'm looking forward to visiting this establishment in the future.
