Paint Your Way to Happiness at Hot Plate Pottery

Paint Your Way to Happiness at Hot Plate Pottery

Alright, I’m not an artist by any means. Ask me to draw a person, and I’ll draw you a stick figure. Ask me to draw a tree; it’s going to be a brown trunk with a giant green blob on top of it. This is why I did not go to Hot Plate Pottery for the longest time, despite working right across the street and staring at it almost every day. But then I finally drew up the courage to ...

Tomatoes Apizza Farmingtom Hills – Humbly Amazing

Tomatoes Apizza Farmingtom Hills – Humbly Amazing

This installment of the Detroit Pizza Tour takes us to Tomatoes Apizza, located in the uppermost reaches of Farmington Hills, a stone’s throw from West Bloomfield Township (right on the 14-mile dividing line). Tomatoes Apizza actually has two locations, both in Farmington Hills. I choose to review the 14 Mile location because I’ve had pizza from both and prefer it.

Loui’s Pizza – The Real Deal

In the unassuming, working-class suburb of Hazel Park, within a mile of Detroit Proper, lies a legend among pizza joints: Loui’s Pizza.

Loui’s Pizza is so adorable in its ambiance as to trump any Buddy’s atmosphere I’ve been to. There are literally hundreds of basket-cradled ...
