“This is a cute pizzeria in Brandon. We just moved to the area and tried them last night. We got a large pizza (pepperoni, sausage (half) and bacon (half)), an order of their garlic bread sticks, chicken club salad and a two liter of soda. The pizza was good. The garlic bread sticks was crazy good and it's not sticks, it's a garlic loaf of bread. Excellent! The chicken club salad was my wife's favorite. We will be ordering from here again for sure.Parking: Parking can be a little tricky. There's a bunch of street side parking, but I could see a time when all the businesses are open and that parking is gone.“

“Friday night! Time to dine out, right. We were in the mood for Italian and specifically, pasta! My girlfriend and I hadn't visited Palazzo Di Bocce and decided to try it out. After checking the restaurant website I called to make 5pm reservations as recommended. We drove over a little before 5pm and arrived in good time. The funny part is that there were only two other people there and the place is huge! None-the-less, we checked in and were seated immediately. We didn't wait five minutes before Cheyenne, our server, took our drink order and provided menus and wine selection information. She was very helpful throughout the evening. We ordered an appetizer of Bruschetta which was tasty and a little different from the same dish at other restaurants. My girlfriend ordered the Carbonara with a house salad and I ordered the Chicken Marsala with a helping of the Mushroom Soup. When I asked Cheyenne about the soup she confidently told me it would be the best I've ever eaten and she was right! It was delicious! I questioned her regarding wine choices, as I'm not very familiar with Italian wines. She suggested a Sangiovese that was pretty good and at a fair price. As we ate, a gentleman (server) would politely remove unwanted dishes from the table. Both meals were very good - although I think the mashed potatoes were out of a box. Frankly, I thought the Carbonara was much better than my Marsala! Following our meal we enjoyed desert and coffee - also very good. The cannoli I had was the best I'd had in years. (The shells are made fresh and not filled until ordered. So, rather than the typical soggy shell, it was nice and crunchy and of exceptional flavor!) The venue began filling up as we enjoyed our meal and the surroundings are beautiful. Service was excellent. We will return I'm sure and include a round of Bocce!“

“Great family place forsure. One thing I was absolutely surprised about was they had a separate gluten free menu. So for all of you that have Celiac like me, you do not have to worry as the variety in the menu is quite large compared to a lot of other establishments. Service was good, food was great, and the atmosphere felt like home in a way. Don't really know how to explain that one, but was just a feeling. I've gone by this place so so many times over the years and this was my first time here....and enjoyed it a lot. So make sure you stop by one of their Metro locations and feast.Vegetarian options: A lot of Italian dishes are vegetarian and meat is optional if you are not into certain animals or any at allDietary restrictions: They have a gluten free menu which a lot of places don't have“

“Haven't been here in ages and I couldn't tell you why. I'm pretty upset we forgot about this place to be honest! I placed a door dash pickup and when I arrive my order was fresh out of the oven. Boy did I time that well! Friendly staff. Got home and quickly devoted my small (Sicilian) BLT Pizza no lettuce and my husband had a BLT grinder. Everything was super fresh and tasted great. Looking forward to coming here more, also seen upon reading around that there has been new ownership since I've been last so maybe that's exactly what it needed. Not bad before but definitely didn't taste as good as this.“

“First time I had ever had Papa Romanos pizza. We got the deep-dish spicy Italian and was really good. All the toppings were fresh and delicious. However, I don't really think the term spicy belongs in the title. Want very spicy. Delicious, not spicy. I ended up putting hot pepper flakes on for the heat. Definitely will get pizza from them again though!“

“We have lived in the area for almost 2 years and just recently had dinner here. I am ashamed to say that because this place is friggin awesome!Food- Pure crack, the baguettes and risotto and pizza, it was addictively good. I had to pace myself because I wanted to eat all the bread. Do yourself a favor start off with the parmesan Baguette. You can thank me later.Drinks- I'm going to be honest, I had low expectations on the drinks because so many places in Michigan serve overly sweet, just gross cocktails. I was so surprised, the Pomegranate 75 cocktail was EPIC, and the bar tender customized drinks for us to meet our liking.Atmosphere- Good vibes all around, either for friends, family or a date night. Plenty of parking, plenty of seating inside.This is such a great spot, I will be back at least a few times a month going forward!“

This phone robot let me know he is intelligent and would help me place my order, in return I was given 15% discount.I was impressed that I could ask specific questions and get accurate answers. The answers did take extra time, as the jetbot mentioned to hold on. Another down side is that you don't get all the info on specials. I paid more because I was not made aware of the lunch special pricing.The pizza was perfect for a cold Michigan winter day. Crispy corners, just as Detroit style should be.Parking: Not very clean“
