Excellent Pizza
by kristengorman at Citysearch
We ordered a pie with pepperoni and olives, and loved it. The olives were fresh and the sauce was wonderful. The light crust was amazing.
It was amazing Dinner
by Josh20 at Citysearch
I think this food was amazing. Even though the wait is 45 minutes long for your pizza it was well worth it. The crust is amazing the cheese is so melty and good. The toppings are fresh and are waitress was so nice. Even though the pizza is a little pricey it was all worth it.
- Pros: The Parking and seating
- Cons: The price of your happiness
Majority Wins!!

As a Detroit native, now living in Atlanta (much love to Nancy's Pizza- u guys tried), I can say that Pizza Papalis remains at the top of my list for deep dish pies. The pies are packed with fillings such that every bite is pure heaven. A good deep dish pie will cost you. Eating the BEST deep dish pie is priceless. Check it out. Would all of us write all of these reviews if it wasn't worth it??? Enjoy!!
- Pros: Pizza
- Cons: who cares...it's all about the pizza
DEEP DEEP DEEP DISH!!!!
by MAP710 at Citysearch
The Deep dish is excellent, each drop is worth every dime. I prefer seafood, but sometimes go for the deep dish with pepperoni, and extra Italian sausages. When ever its my turn to pick all my friends know where we are going. I never get tired of Pizza , that's why I would never get tired of Pizza Papalis. There is no reason to look else where for great pizza and service. A one stop shop!
- Pros: Great Food and Service!
- Cons: Parking
LOVE IT

BEST PIZZA but a little expensive. I always get the deep dish with peperoni and extra cheese. Gotta love it
- Pros: Best pizza
- Cons: PRICY $$$
Love their pizza
by kee22 at Citysearch
Pizza Papalis is sooo good!! I agree with the post below, it is better than most Chicago deep dish. Although the wait time is long, it is definately worth it! Their chicken strips are very good and so are their salads.
- Pros: Great pizza, good service
- Cons: long wait
The Perfect Popeye!
by geminimoon at Citysearch
I've been endulging in the simply fabulous Chicago-style deep dish pizza at Pizza Papalis since I was a child. I'm 27 now. Their spinach deep dish pie (Popeye) is the most incredible food find in all of Greektown (which is saying alot because Greektown is chock full of incredible resturants). The flavors were meant to be. This pie just melts in your mouth. The crust is buttery, crispy, and flaky all at the same time and the sauce comes from the most ripe and soul satisfying imported tomatoes. They use only the finest ingrediants so I dont mind paying the extra money for the quality. Detroit is pizza king (Little Caesers, Dominos, Hungry Howies, Jets, Buddys, Shields, Nikki's) but Pizza Papalis takes the crown for deep dish! Look out Chicago, this joint is on to you!
- Pros: the greektown neighborhood, near astoria bakery, great people watching
- Cons: wait time
Average is the word
by masterp42 at Citysearch
This place is average. The pizza is piled high and is pretty decent. The price and the wait are not worth the time. The people are rude. I would say this place is average, get a $5 pizza from one of those fast food places.
- Pros: Average Pizza
- Cons: Wait, Price, Rude People
Absolute best pizza veggi, seafood and with meat. Long wait but worth it
by alpenasandi2 at Citysearch
I now live in Anchroage Alaska we have nothing even close to this wonderful Chicago style deep dish pizza. I travel extensively and have tried pizza accross the country. This pizza is the abosolute best I have ever had. A little spendy but well worth the money. Every time I am in the Detroit area I make sure to allow time for Pizza Papalis'. The veggi is my favorite with the seafood running a close second.
Better off throwing your money away at the casino and going home hungry.

Wannna feel like you just wasted your evening? Eat here! I love Chicago style pizza, but this is such a poor example that I wont even put it in that category. Pay close attention to the other reviews that mention the gooey crust, and over saucing, Their right on the money.
- Pros: None
- Cons: THE FOOD!
