Jet's is my favorite takeout pizza place in my area. The Detroit style pizza is truly delicious. Save 15% by ordering your pizza via text message. I've ordered from them 3 times so far and each time was excellent. I order ahead, pick it up, bring it home and experience pizza joy!
I should preface my review by saying that when it comes to pizza, I suppose I fit the "traditionalist" definition. I grew up in a Sicilian family and my grandmother made homemade pizza on the reg. Also, having spent my childhood and teen years in Western Pennsylvania just outside of Pittsburgh, there was no shortage of excellent pizza and Italian food to be found. While I'm not opposed to trying different takes on the pie, I find myself always returning to classic Neapolitan for my pizza fix. So, I did react with a degree of (hopefully) good natured skepticism when a friend of mine who grew up in Detroit went into a state of near ecstasy upon learning that long standing Detroit pizza institution Jet's was opening a location close by. Detroit pizza is a bit of a amped up take on rectangular/square deep dish Sicilian style which can be hit or miss for me. At times, the crust can be too spongy and the grease factor can be high as well. Well, I've had Jet's twice and I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed! Both times, I ordered the 8 corner with bold/cupped pepperoni. I was advised that choosing the multi-topping options can negatively affect the crust as the toppings melt through and add too much moisture, taking away some of the crunch of the crust. So, the crust is really fantastic...just the right amount of crunch and chewy quality, and a minimum of grease. The sauce is an excellent melding of tart and sweet...it does veer toward being just a slight touch sweeter than I normally go for, but the offsetting tartness provided a rich complexity. The pepperoni was spicy and not overly salty which is a big plus, and just the right amount of Mozzarella was used. This is a very substantial pizza, and reheats extremely well. It's not going to replace my favorite Neapolitan places, but for a change of pace it's a winner. The place was super busy when I went to pick it up and staff seemed a touch harried, but they were handling the requests well.
Delicious! First time trying this Detroit-style square pizza and boy did we enjoy ourselves. Placed an order online and our takeout was ready in no time. Street parking is available and may be difficult to find on busier days. Employees are friendly and everything was neatly wrapped. The pizza is delicious! The crust is buttery, thick, and seasoned well. Toppings are of good quality. Portions are generous and one slice is more than filling. Their chicken wings are also meaty, plump, and juicy. Excellent! I'm so glad we got a chance to try Jet's Pizza. Can't wait to come back.
Idk how I went so long having never tried Jets! I attended a football watch party at a friends house (they are from Detroit) and they ordered jets. One slice in and I knew I'd be a forever customer! Sure enough 2 weeks later I found myself in Jets picking up an order placed online. This is the BEST pizza in the area! It's thick and made with high quality ingredients! I will say the night I stopped in the physical shop it was packed! It was a Friday night, and the line extended down the entire shop and out into the parking lot. Even for those of us who had placed an order ahead of time they were running slightly behind getting those orders out so there was a lot of standing around. However, upon arrival, I simply told them I was there to pick up my order and they started working on it right away so that I could grab it quick-ish and head out. I was there for about 10 minutes? Note if you are placing an order online, be advised that the wait will be probably closer to 45 minutes and there's no need to come early because the pizza is not ready LOL. But trust me it's worth the wait and by the amount of customers there I can say that others agree.
When we tried making food at home and it got messed up, we ordered Jet's for the first time and had it delivered. We got the thicker pizza and were able to personalize our toppings on either side of the pizza. With delivery it was a bit expensive but if you picked it up yourself it would be pretty normal. I thought it was very doughy in a good way and the toppings were awesome. I took one star off though because the sauce needs more spices! Oregano and basil and whatever else - just put spices in. I will try again.
Something about this Detroit style pizza will change your life. Go for the gusto and turbo your crust... It does get busy, so call your order ahead. Street parking is tight and limited. The lot is for Northside Grill patrons. I've only had the Detroit style Eugene's Supreme and it is delicious and a fave!
Amazing, shoutout to the workers staffing the store on Thanksgiving. We are truly thankful for you. Pizza was delicious and honestly better than a lot of gourmet spots here. It was a real treat as we were not able to attend our family dinner. Parking lot is quite small could be a problem on busy days.
