Detroit style pizza with the sauce on top!
05/01/2022: 3.5 out 5 - We came as a party of 9 for a family member's birthday request, as he wanted to try out the pizza at Assembly Brewing, which serves Detroit-style pizzas.If you're not sure what Detroit-style pizza is, it is basically pizzas with 90 degree angles, with 4 corners, or just simply rectangular and thick crust using Wisconsin Brick cheese, and the sauce is on top. I'm sure there's more to it, but that's just what I know.We had order 5 kinds of pizzas. If memory serves me correctly, we had ordered Assembly's Meat Lovers, Popeye, Hawaiian, Supreme, and the Veggie Gourmet along with the bread sticks, Artichoke & Spinach Roll and Artichoke Dip as appetizers along with some beers.Pizza toppings seemed scarce, but the appetizers were tasty. Seemed to go quite well with my choice of beer.Regardless, the order took longer than expected, and service was so-so. We were told that we had come in just after Portland's Pizza Week, making supplies a little short and service, well I suppose, a little exhausted...maybe scarce...or just didn't care enough to provide better service to our group.For this day, with the food and service, and what we paid for... let's just say there's room for improvement and better attitude.The thing that does stand out the most for me would be Assembly's Doublin' in Dublin Stout. True to description as, "...less roasted coffee and more chocolate notes."Absolutely in agreement.So, the question remains that I always ask those that I am eating with, "Would you come back?" Most said "No." But, for me I'd give it another try to have that Doublin' in Dublin Stout, but I will wait when there's less of a supply issue and less of service issue.Like I always say, you should always try it once and decide for yourself.Enjoy!
Have heard about the place for awhile but it's a trek for me so I never made it out until pizza week drew me. The hype is real. Pizza is top notch Detroit style. Probably the best in town, but when you are this good it the specific accolades don't matter. They are not designed for the high volume of pizza week but the staff handled it with aplomb. Beer was mediocre to good-ish. Definitely good enough to guzzle while you wait. Wide range of styles, would definitely try a few more.
We held a low key welcome dinner & drinks party here he night before our wedding. Sharon was so great and very responsive via email leading up to the event. The staff overall were wonderful, we had a lovely time. Not to mention lots of really great pizza and tasty beers. Can't wait to come back!

Beers are solid but the chewy, delicious Detroit style pizza will bring me back for sure!
Something about this place feels unassuming, which ultimately means it’s underrated, if you ask me. I’ve truly enjoyed my food and beverages each time I’ve been here (especially the pizza and hazy/citrus beers). And beyond that, the staff were so wonderful every time and made me feel not only welcome, but completely at home. If I had any suggestions to make, it would be to have a back patio seating area that’s away from the road. There is currently dog friendly seating but wasn’t as well lit as I would have liked so I chose to stay inside and stayed and had a great time.
If you're looking for great Detroit style pizza, this is the place! For those from southeast Michigan, this is about as close to Buddy's as it gets! Love the pizza here. Great beer as well. For non Michigan peeps, don't sleep on Detroit style pizza. It's great!!
Amazing Pizza! I had never had Detroit style pizza before but I'm so glad I did. The bottom of the crust was crispy buttery and everything was delicious.
Stopped by for the Detroit style pizza with non-dairy cheese, which was delicious and authentic. Tried a beer flight that was good. Solid option for food and drink with an outdoor dog-friendly patio.
