So good! We were visiting from out of town and went twice. The Southside is top notch - as is the Margherita. Very friendly staff and high quality Detroit style pizza. Highly recommend!

Charles and Reid is the best pizza in Traverse City by far. For Detroit Pizza it absolutely nails it. Crust, brick cheese, sauce, toppings are perfect. I ordered the Sloo Eee this afternoon and enjoyed a pint while I waited. This is an absolutely high quality pizza place that will appeal to anyone who is a pizza person.I like a lot of tomatoe sauce so I ordered it Tsunami. I will be enjoying the remainder for breakfast. Yes really.

We got take out from Charles and Reid. My wide was skeptical at what kind of "Detroit style" pizza we were going to get in Traverse City, but we were both super impressed.We got a large Magnum P.I.E. and an order of the herb breadsticks. The dough for the breadsticks and pizza was amazing. It was light and airy, but still buttery and flavorful. Sometimes detroit style pizza can get doughy or heavy, but this was excellent. The toppings were of great quality and the flavors were on point. The characteristic toasted cheese crust layer that forms around good detroit style pan pizza where the cheese overflows over the crust and caramelized against the pan was present and delicious.Sneaky unsung hero was the pizza sauce that we got with the breadsticks. Our pizza was made with BBQ sauce, so we didn't actually have any pizza sauce on our pizza, but the sauce that came with the breadsticks makes me want to definitely come back and try a pie with the pizza sauce. It was bright, fresh tasting and flavorful.We also got the Tiramisu for 2 (devoured before I remembered to take a picture). It was very good. Not too sweet and clearly freshly made.I appreciated how Charles and Reid was really upfront on their website about how they are a small family run establishment and said "call, if it's busy it's because we're taking orders. Keep trying!" That's just what we did and we are glad we did because we were not disappointed.

Truly delicious— great flavor, perfect crust, and all around wonderful service. Honestly some of the best pizza I’ve had in America. Chill vibes, comfortable atmosphere, and all the gooey goodness you could want.

Love this place! Placed an order to go. The staff were absolute gems, and I adore the pizza earrings worn by the lady running the show! Hands down best Detroit style pizza. We ordered the Bee Nauti (small) and it was plenty of food for two. The hot honey was perfect- used sparingly so it's not making the entire pizza cloyingly sweet and you get to taste the other ingredients. Sauce is great, and just enough of it.

We were here in October 2023. This is a late post because my husband and I were just reminiscing about the best pizza we EVER had. This Florida couple was so impressed, we plan to come back annually. This is a bucket list item you simply must check out!!!

The best deep dish I have ever had. From crust to the sauce, the cheese and the not so basic ingredients, there is absolutely nothing reason to eat pizza anywhere else. I can't wait until I find an excuse to go to TC again so I can get another one.Parking: Park the car and take a walk. You'll need to after eating too much of this stuff. Good luck minding your portion size with this pie!

Only been here twice as I live in Texas. Call in the order because the wait will be around 45 min. Best Detroit pizza I've tried

I ordered by myself over $120 in food just to try different things and the food was amazing I didn't have any issues the service was great. They were very polite and greeted me at the door and the location is amazing. Great Detroit style pizza will definitely be back.
