Highly recommend root veggie with Polish kilbasa...not on the menu but worth the request. Josh took great care of us. And did I mention their own parking? Yep. You are welcome!

Whether I get their standout Detroit-style pizza, the equally delicious corned beef sandwiches, or the wonderful fish like walleye, the food , atmosphere, and service all keep me coming back. (I keep meaning to ask, is this place any relation to the late, lamented Z’s near the Wayne State campus? Many fond memories there from back in the day…)

Steve has a heart of hospitality gold. The owner of Z’s Pizza, literally left his restaurant—during the Friday night rush—to give me a ride to the Fisher Theatre so I wouldn’t miss the Nikki Glaser show. Who does that?! It’s rare to find someone who not only runs an amazing local spot but also embodies the spirit of community like this. Absolute legend.

I really enjoyed my experience at Z’s. The staff was super friendly and made me feel welcome as soon as I walked in. I asked what was good they made some suggestions and I decided to go with the Cajun Steak Bites and let’s just say it was amazing and came out smoked hot!!! Thanks Steve, Arthur and the entire team for a great 1st experience. I highly recommend visiting them.

Excellent fish n chips and perch meals. Fish was very tasty, fresh and good portion sizes. Nice to see on the daily menu. French fries thick and very good. Coleslaw very good, portion size below average . We were upstairs and service was a bit slow primarily due to only one person was taking care of the tables and bar. Both upper and lower levels have a bar & tables.

Came here with family on a Monday evening, the outside area is so cozy and we watched the volleyball game going on. The food is good and the portions are pretty big. Pricing is very reasonable and we were actually shocked with the bills. We played Cornhole as well. Only complaint is our waiter took awhile collecting our cards, returning them but we understood he was busy and he apologized. Will definitely be back.

Best place we have found yet for Detroit Style Pizza. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and "Wendy" our server was phenomenal! Corner of Piquette and Woodward Ave. Wonderful local bar and eatery
