I had no luck ordering pizza at a nearby pizza place in Corktown which led me to venturing out, ending up at Jet's Pizza thanks to Yelp! Jet's was the only pizza place open late that I trusted and only 2 miles away from Corktown. Via Yelp, I ordered the veggie pizza which was the only option I had an interest in as a vegetarian carb loading for Detroit Free Press Marathon.
If I were not utilizing a GPS, I would not have known Jet's was located in this space because there was no sign. And if I would have visited to order rather than online, the exterior would have completely turned me off because it didn't appear very appealing. Another thing I wasn't fond of was the parking, which is terrible outside of the restaurant. I ended up parking in an unorthodox spot within the neighborhood because I hoped to be in-and-out.
Furthermore, the interior of the restaurant eased my feeling of "Oh boy, what did I get myself into" because it appeared a little more maintained than the exterior of the storefront. There really wasn't any mandate on mask coverings at this business. Coming from Chicago I still went on and wore one inside because who knows who has been vaccinated or not.
Upon arrival I had hoped that my order would have been near completed, but it wasn't! The wait felt longer than what it should have been, but while waiting for it to be completed I got some laughs in at the employees whose conversations I overheard. They obviously didn't care that there could have been customers in the dining area by their conversations, but I've honestly heard worse. I do give credit to some of the employees who checked on me as I waited for my order; there were at least three of them that checked on me during the time.
I enjoyed the veggie pizza, but it was a little too much for me. I ended up not finishing it all for my carb loading in prep for the Detroit Free Press Half Marathon. I wish it would have come in four squares rather than six squares. As for future orders at Jet's, the veggie pizza will definitely be one of my go to choices in the form of individual squares.
All in all I had a pleasant experience at this location. If you are looking for a pizza place open late, that will certainly not let you down then look no further than Jet's Pizza.
