I live right over the border and had yet to try authentic Detroit style pizza. Googled this place and saw that it has been in the business a long time – that’s a great sign. We ordered carry out, and the order was ready within 20 min! We had the Super pizza. The toppings are fresh and overloaded! You do NOT need to order extra cheese. It was thick and gooey! I just wish the bottom dough was cooked a bit more. The edges were nice and crisp. However, the bottom was a bit soggy. Still devoured it, though. I could only finish one slice, it’s that filling. The wings were coated nicely. The service was fantastic when my boyfriend went to pick up.

This place epitomizes delicious pizza and amazing service. We lost power at our house and the manager even let us charge our phones while dining in. Jason, our server, was hilarious and diligent throughout the entire. Shields is the place to go for pizza in Detroit. Will definitely be back.

This pizza was increíble and they didn’t hold back on the toppings. We aren’t from Detroit but will absolutely come back next time we are here. Our server Jason was INCREDIBLE. One of the best servers I have experienced in years. Thank you Jason and team.

Tremendous waitress who took great care of my family. We started out with the nachos. Some weren’t fans of the colored chips, but the beef was flavorful and portions about right. My daughter loved her gluten-free pizza. My wife and I had the margarhita pizza, which was excellent. The smalls go a long way, so remember when ordering. A small was more than enough for me and my bride. A decent selection for beers. They had Erik the Red, so I was all set. Excellent stop after a visit to the DIA.

This was a great experience after the van Gogh exhibit. The Detroit pizza tasted great along with the truffle fries. They have a decent beer selection also. The service was outstanding and this is a historic place where you can just hang out and relax.
