This place is fine. I liked it overall, definitely not bad, but not the best in the area, but it's worth the price, other places charge at lot more for single slice pizza. I'd say this is the best cheapest pizza by the slice around.

Pizza was really good, I liked the chili honey and fresh basil ... the lady at the register was super sweet and welcoming!

4.5 stars! Such a deliciously greasy offering of pizza. Really quick service. The pepperoni pizza comes with a great amount of meat and cheese-- just a little too salty. It's a bit expensive for what you get and feels a bit unhealthy to eat but it's a GREAT late night snack.

SO GOOD.Stumbled on this small business, it's a To-go window, order on a tablet, with HUGE slices (feeds two for a quick bite or one if you're really hungry). Was delicious and the owner was friendly.

Small business with a one man show. Great fluffy crust with tons of cheese. Ordered a veggie pizza and it was done within 15 minutes! Great service with some seats outside. Not really a done in restaurant, either take it to go or standing outside.

Delicious. The order was easy and at a kiosk. No real seating or interaction with anyone outside of someone letting me know my order was ready but that was not an issue at all. The slices were big and warm. Perfectly crisp and flavorful. I added the chili honey which was good but didn't seem to have the chili aspect to it just the sweetness of the honey,

3.5 STARS One of the top drunchies? Pizza. And, Taco Bell if you want a sore bunghole the next day but that's another story. Detroit Square Pizza is the newest player in the game (per staff, sister eatery to Truly Med). They're centrally located near the bars on 16th...making it an ideal drunchie pit stop. They're open for mainly takeout and delivery. O R D E R I N G Contactless ordering via two kiosks outside. You can order ahead on their website but slices are $2.81-$5.26 more per slice. Also, listed on 3rd party delivery apps. M E N U * Slices (2 pc): Cheese, Pepperoni (Ezzo), Supreme, and Veggie ($7-$10 each). Whole pizzas available. * Add-ons ($2-$10): Chili honey, stracciatella (creamy, burrata filling), marinara dip, and white sauce dip. For the bougie, there's truffles, gold flakes and caviar. P I Z Z A * Cheese Slice (2 pc-$7): http://tinyurl.com/3cb6h64n ++ Chili honey (menu: $1, charged $2) --Base: The focaccia-like dough is airy and porous with a light, bouncy chew. But, the undercarriage was on the pale side with minimal browning so it wasn't crispy. --Toppings: Chunky band of bright, flavorful marinara sauce with fresh basil ribbons. Maybe because the top was overdone but the cheese wasn't stretchy, nor melty or gooey. No cheese pulls. =( --Cheese crown/crust: Detroit-style pizza is all about that coveted crispy, lace-y caramelized cheese crown/crust! Unfortunately, the cheese crown/crust was thick and chewy (30 minutes into their opening). It doesn't seem their conveyer belt is an ideal, nor an effective heating device. --Add-on: Chili Honey Slight drizzle, not enough to give you that spicy sweet contrast to the salty cheese. I hope they consider giving customers a small sauce cup of chili honey instead. S E R V I C E Minimal interaction. With no line, it took about 5-7 minutes to warm up a slice. A M B I A N C E Closet sized space (used to be barber shop) with one two-top outside and a couple of random stools/chairs. P A R K I N G Street parking is always an issue in the area but Bart is just down the block. Overall, I had a similar experience to Yarn Y. It was an adequate pizza square if I was barhopping on 16th/Valencia area and had the drunchies. But, for being sober, it didn't quite hit the spot compared to other players in the city: SPG (brick & mortar), Joyride, and Cellarmaker. Not yet, at least. Probably a matter of working out the kinks or the key is to order a whole pizza to ensure it's fresh out of the oven. 3.5 stars rounded up for value and for a new local small business.
