More Great Corned Beef Sandwiches in Detroit

It was probably foolhardy to attempt a list of only five great metro Detroit corned beef sandwiches. We headlined the list “great” not “best” — because, as we acknowledged in the introduction, metro Detroit is full of places serving terrific versions of this indulgent sandwich. Nevertheless, so many readers wrote to rave about their own favorite places that we’re breaking with tradition and offering a second list. It’s only five more, so it still might not include your favorite brunch, diner or ...

Great New Brunches in Metro Detroit

Going out for brunch is totally optional. Maybe that’s why people enjoy it so much: It’s a luxury, plain and simple. The food is always indulgent, cocktails are allowed, and no one at the table has to do the dishes. We never tire of brunch, which is why we’re always on the lookout for more great ones to try. Several new brunch restaurants have opened in metro Detroit, and one of them could be just the cure for your cabin ...

5 Great Places For Topped French Fries in Detroit

Based on the Great Detroit Poutine Explosion of 2012, one would think that the gravy-and-curds combo is the only way to get one’s french fries topped in this town. Thankfully, for those of us who love a deep-fried tater, that is a complete and utter fallacy. Fries topped with goodies other than poutine are available all over metro Detroit, from Greek feta and lemon to a simple dusting of rosemary and sea salt. For five great topped fries big enough ...

Pizza Papalis Detroit – Another Stop on the Detroit Pizza Tour

Great things are said about PizzaPapalis, which has five locations in metro Detroit (seven if you count the combo Rio Wraps locations, where they have a limited menu in combination with wraps). This locally-grown, beloved restaurant, which started in the 80s, has ridden its popularity all the way to a location in Toledo. So I was excited to give it a try. Especially since there’s one not too far from my home. I must admit I never even noticed Pizza ...

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. Could it have something to do with the coal-fired pizza oven? The more southern location, on Halsted, uses a brick ...

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. My first introduction to Detroit-style pizza was Buddy’s, a legend of its own with 9 locations in the Detroit metro area. But part of what makes Loui’s so special is that there is only one. 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 ...

Shield’s – Worthy of The Detroit Pizza Title

I have picked up a Shield’s pizza a time or three to bring home and have always thoroughly enjoyed the warmish pizza at my own kitchen table, dutifully resisting the urge to break it out on the drive home. But to give Shield’s a completely fair shake, I had to go in and have the entire dining experience. Shield’s Pizza Detroit Location Shields of Southfield25101 Telegraph Rd.Southfield, MI 48076248-356-2720 Other locations are in Macomb Township, Rochester Hills, and Troy. Shield’s ...
