Some places are pricey but the quality is worth it. You taste the difference.
Mikeh34I agree! Sometimes you just want real cheese and fresh toppings—you can taste when a place doesn’t skimp.
Traverse City pizza scene is getting real competitive lately!
It really is—a thriving mix of newcomers and old favorites keeps everyone on their toes!
Nittolo’s garlic knots are almost better than the pizza!
Jess B.Oh my gosh, those garlic knots are so addictive. I always end up eating too many before my pizza even comes!
Lazzari takes me back to high school slices after sports!
I swear Hopscotch’s white pizza is the best kept secret.
Haven’t tried Cargo Pizza yet, but 4.8 stars? Dang.
Brickyard’s atmosphere is so chill—pizza with friends every weekend.
Brickyard Hollow definitely nails that laid-back vibe—an ideal spot for gathering with friends.
Off Track’s thin crust is best when it’s just out of the oven.
danpizzamanDefinitely! I try to get there right when they open for lunch—hot and crispy every time.
Paesano's fresh basil is always on point.
Hopscotch is solid but wish they’d add more specialty pies.
Lucas TimmsSame! A rotating special or two would be so fun. I keep hoping they’ll get creative with new combos.
Great point! More specialty pies would definitely make Hopscotch’s menu even more exciting.
G J’s market pizza combo is hard to beat. One stop shop.
Anyone else remember when Flatbread Company first opened? Still great after all these years.
Love Firebird’s creative combos. Pesto is top tier.
Best late night slice: ZA on Front Street.
Filling Station has great pizza, but I wish they still did trivia night!
Phil S.I miss trivia night too! It really brought people together. Their patio is still a great spot in the summer, though.
Nittolo’s feels like you’re in Italy. Love it.
Charles & Reid is the best pizza in TC hands down.
Bubba's pizza is ok but their burgers rock harder imo.
Rose P.Totally agree! Bubba's burger and fries combo is my go-to. Pizza's decent, but that burger keeps me coming back.
More vegan options, please? Only a few places have good choices.
Two Sons calzones are the most filling thing, no lie.
Akilah J.No kidding, those calzones could feed two people easy! Great pick if you’re really hungry.
Wish some of these places delivered farther out—outskirts pizza struggle is real.
Devin W.I feel your pain—delivery options fall off fast once you’re out past town. Only solution: road trip pizza nights!
Love seeing more local ingredients on the menus lately.
Anyone else think Nittolo's sauce is just magic?
Vicky LynnAbsolutely! I could eat that sauce by the spoonful, honestly. Something about the flavor just sets their whole pizza apart.
Never heard of Off Track before, adding to my pizza list now.
Paesano's tastes exactly like New York to me. Wild.
That’sa Pizza is a family tradition. Love the owners too.
Patti K.Love hearing that! The folks there are always so friendly. Feels like part of the neighborhood.
Riverton Station is my go-to for game nights.
Flatbread Company’s gluten free is actually good!
ZA is a great date spot—love the vibe.
Brickyard's beer + pizza = perfect Saturday night.
Couldn’t ask for a better combo—Brickyard’s pizza and craft beer make Saturdays special.
Lazzari's pepperoni is my treat after work every week.
Thanks for sharing! Lazzari's pepperoni is a well-loved staple—perfect for an after-work treat.
Cargo Pizza deep dish was a nice surprise.
Cargo Pizza’s deep dish really does make an impression; glad you enjoyed the unique twist!
Filling Station got me hooked on those wood-fired pies.
Bambino's is cozy but always packed—wish they were bigger!
tommyd7So true! If you don’t get there early, you’re stuck waiting. Still worth it sometimes for that wood-fired crust.
G J's is totally underrated, try the garlic crust.
Peegeo's is a classic. So many memories!
Peegeo's holds a special place in the hearts of many locals—thanks for sharing your memories!
Hopscotch crust is why I go there. Crispy perfection.
We couldn’t agree more—Hopscotch’s crispy crust is truly a standout feature.
Kelly D.Exactly! The crust totally makes the pie there. Even my mom loves it, and she’s picky about pizza.
Firebird new menu is wild, those toppings!
Detroit style is the GOAT. Charles & Reid is crazy good.
I keep going back to Charles & Reid, always hits the spot.
