My first time trying Detroit style pizza, and I loved it! I love that they offer vegan pizza, although it's a but of a markup ($14 for a personal vegan pizza vs $10 for a personal regular). I had the vegan cheese pizza with no extra toppings, which was absolutely delicious! The crispy cheese crust at the edges is 10/10. My parents got the bad boy and my little sister got the 8 mile, whole family loved their food. The family that runs the business is extremely pleasant and friendly. The inside of the restaurant is very clean, including the bathroom, and there are lots of TVs for entertainment as well as some cool arcade games in the back.

I have never. So delicious. I can't. Please don't eat here so it doesn't get busy. Imagine like an inch or inch and a half of flaky dough and crust. Ripe poppin sauce. Just so damn good.

Delicious Detroit style pizza. We ordered the Bad Boy, large size, and it was very filling. The pizza had a nice spice to it and the sauce was sweet. The crust was baked perfectly and had a nice crunch around the edges with the cheese. The toppings were generous and flavorful. The folks working were very nice and noted the first pizza was not up to their standards, so they remade it before we laid eyes on it, to make sure we got a tasty pizza. Fantastic customer service, fun environment, great pizza, and a must visit for any pizza fan.

Came to the restaurant because we heard they made a great pizza. It was amazing. If you aren't familiar with detroit style, it has a thicker crust and the sauce goes on top. I especially love the crispy edges. The flavors were amazing and service was top notch. So glad we ordered a large so we could have leftovers!

Just finished up a FANTASTIC meal at The Rec - my husband and I split an order of buffalo wings and a Hockeytown pizza (pepperoni, sausage, and bacon) and we were blown away by how great it was. The wings were smoked and then flash fried to order and were so juicy and flavorful! But that pizza, wow. So, so good!!! That caramelized cheese and focaccia-like soft, yet crispy crust was to die for. It was perfection, and honestly some of the best pizza I've had in Arizona. Service was outstanding as well, despite it being a counter service establishment, and we were checked up on and asked how our food was several times (it was not pushy at all). Top notch all around. Y'all are sleeping on The Rec, as there were hardly any people there on a Friday night and the food is worthy of having a line out the door. I'll definitely be back and I'll be bringing home plenty of leftovers!
