Originating from the Motor City in the 1940s, Detroit-style pizza is known for its square shape, thick crust, crispy edges and layers of toppings, all baked to perfection in a blue steel pan. Montanara pizza is for those who like a super crispy crust. Classic thin crust also available.

Absolutely phenomenal food and service! We had pizza, wings and we split a burger. We wanted to try it all. It was so good that we TOTALLY forgot to take pictures! Next time!! Customer service was impeccable!!


We had the Day Tripper burger, Philly rolls and a Grandpa's Garlic on a deep fried pizza crust and WOW!!!! Honestly the atmosphere was amazing, our server was amazing, Cody. Never waited on a refill, answered all and any questions regarding the menu. We went with her recommendations and we are GLAD we did!!! The best part was we witnessed multiple times a couple servers helping each other. It's rare to go somewhere and see that!! Usually it's me and my section and their section only. Every server that walked by asked if we were doing okay or needed anything!! Will DEFINITELY be going back!


I've had the burgers and a few pizzas and I'm sold on this place. It's my late night choice as well.

The food was absolutely amazing we had the loaded fries and the pretzel bites. You could make a meal of just those appetizers but we also got the hot strips and the day tripper smash burger and they were soooo good and our server Kamryn was on top of it all she was the best and so amazing to talk to.


Mom and I wandered in this afternoon unexpectedly. I had never heard anyone talk about the food, and had not been here before. We both ordered a bourbon old fashioned, which was excellent, and then proceeded to order some chicken wings. Mom's were undressed garlic parmesan, and mine were dressed with a standard buffalo sauce and bleu cheese. These were hands down the best wings I have ever had. The buffalo sauce was perfect, but the chicken itself knocked it out of the park. The chicken was juicy, perfectly cooked and flavorful. Our server was completely friendly and informative. The bathrooms and the facility were very clean. I have eaten chicken wings from all over the country, including the Anchor Inn. The wings at Emerson were better. We will be back.

I'm not gonna lie. I came into this new place like ... NOT ANOTHER PIZZA PLACE W/ BURGERS. Boy was I surprised 😳. For starters we had the Philly rolls, DELICIOUS!! Then we built our own pizza Xcheese Xsausage mushroom and onion. And that my friends was the GAME CHANGER!! A pizza like no other! Something everyone should try. Food came out very fast. And was a solid 10 for sure!


The Detroit style pizza is amazing and the service is great! There are a lot of TVs to catch sports and a very clean and comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend!


The food is absolutely amazing. Recommend the pizza and the wings.


The Blanca Delight is a great pizza and the pineapple with hot honey drizzle steals the show.
