Busy Memorial Day lunch was filling. Our waitress was very kind and the food came out timely. There were Vegan Options which was great. The fired pizza was good. We ordered the veggie pie and it was tasty but odd that it had tomato slices instead of cherry tomatoes or something. The quinoa Bowl was good but could have used a bit more “sauce/dressing”. Beer was cold and the outdoor seating was nice- much better than indoor seating. Careful – only 2 single bathrooms available.

Cool old place tight in St Michaels. Two of us shared the 18 inch Meatball pizza (add the red sauce!) and it was amazing and enough for two.

Great restaurant! Wonderful location. The Detroit Deep Dish pizza was delicious and the Tomato Bisque was stellar.

Among the locals, this is either the top or second top place to eat in St. Michaels. Fresh pizza, great appetizers and great atmosphere. The people here are amazing, kind and make the place feel very home-y and welcoming. This is a must for anyone that goes to St Michaels.

Everything here was delicious! The blueberry lemonade was a unique menu item and was very refreshing. I ordered the pappardelle bolognese. It appeared to not only be a meat sauce, but contained some of their signature meatballs that were diced up. It was very good.

Cute place. We stopped to grab something quick while in town on a day trip. The staff was present and the food quick. It was very tasty. Ordered a pizza and a caprese sandwich. I really liked the sandwich, could use but basil but I feel that way about most. The pizza wasn’t bad. Would def come to this place again next time we visit St Michael’s.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Definitely worth sitting out back on the covered patio, lovely fountain area made from old beer taps.

They removed the best pizza ever from their menu- Gruyère and Caramelized onions with bacon/ onion tart. Amazing! Sailed 4 hours on my birthday for this and it was no more
