Where to Eat While Visiting Lake Michigan’s Beach Towns | Eater Chicago

"Located on a scenic corner in one of Harbor Country’s most charming little towns is some of the area’s best pizza all served from a walk-up window. Patellie’s takes great pride in “an honest approach to an old favorite responsibly sourced, high quality ingredients.” East Coast-leaning pies and the massive slices that come from them get decorated with fresh local ingredients. They’ve been a major draw since first opening so it’s best to call your order in ahead." - Naomi Waxman

Great pizza by the slice. Limited seating, and full pizza orders during busy days will take hours sometimes. Keep that in mind. I ordered a pizza at 5ish and it was ready at 8. This is the reality of their operation, and it is very clear to customers that this is the way it is. Outdoor seating limited. Crust is chewy in a good NY style way, without the greasiness. Big slices. Great topping options. Dessert choices are tasty, and are nice cream items from another place.

Pizza was wonderful! I started calling Patellie’s at 3pm to place an order, but all I got was the answering machine. I called 19 times in the span of 20 minutes and no one ever answered. I drove there to place an order.

Great pizza! And I am a pizza snob. Fresh tasting, perfectly seasoned. I had a cheese with vegetable supreme. Well done and keep it up.

Pizza was SO good. Staff were friendly and welcoming. A full pizza and a “slice” was enough for my husband and I to be full. There’s not really inside seating but the place is really cool on the inside & some outside seating is available around the corner which was cute! Would definitely recommend the pepperoni & margarita pizzas 🤤

Excellent, excellent pizza. Called and they accommodate a pick up time and par bake for return trip and easy heat and finish. Freshest, tasty ingredients and perfect crust. Only comment - maybe add a few more ingredients.

Southwest Michigan is lovely but it's not always great for dining out. Patellie's is a gem. It's pizza looks amazing but isn't gluten free but they have sausage and chicken for those of us who suffer from gluten. My family love their pizza so it's good for everyone.

Literally, the best pizza I have ever had. We eat it in the car on the ride home because it's so delicious.

Great pizza joint that offers high quality dough with the freshest toppings. Dough is soft thin and chewy with perfect mix of nice salty cheeses. Reminds me of a New Haven pizza. Staff is always friendly and quick to take your order.

What more can I say. They have 5 stars for a reason. If you're lucky, you'll find out why. Don't hesitate to support this pizza joint and be happy they exist. Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Best New York style in a long time! Great staff and awesome menu! Whenever we stay in New Buffalo, we will forever take a 40 minute round trip! We would visit more if we didn't live in Indianapolis! Keep it up!

After being a customer here years and giving a 5 star review in the past, it hurts my heart to give this place 3 stars. But, when you act ignorantly, then you deserve fewer stars. After spending $67 for two pizzas, a Caesar's Salad and San Pellegrino, I would like to think that I would get a small little container of extra pizza sauce for free while my family was eating the warm pizza. But, I had to stand in line behind 3 people to pay 50 cents for the sauce. And the best part was that they gave me COLD TOMATO SAUCE that was obviously out of a can! They did not even heat it ! Seriously ??? Use some common sense !!!! I don't give a damn about the 50 cents !! I would pay you $5 for it. But seriously.....my pizza was getting cold while I waited in line to pay you 50 cents !!! After working in the restaurant industry for decades and giving customers free things regularly, I was completely shocked that Patellie's wanted my 50 cents ! I won't be back ! Thank you! You have NO RESTROOMS! I had to go across the street to use the bathroom at Froehlick's. But you got your 50 cents! Too bad you have no Business Sense! P. S. You charged me $1.00 for extra Basil on One Pizza and the other pizza had NO BASIL!

Let me tell you a tale about my pizza-loving husband. This man lives for pizza--the good, the bad, the ugly. Now, I'll partake in the former any day of the week with him, but it's the latter that had me rolling my eyes *hard* one late afternoon on our drive from Chicago to our home in Michigan when he wanted to make a {45 minute} "detour" on this place he found for pizza. I was just ready to start our weekend and tired from the week. But boy oh boy am I glad I went limp & relented because I ate my words, in the form of some of the best pizza I've ever had. In fact, it quickly became a part of our regular routine and I haven't looked back. For context, I was raised in New York and have lived in Chicago over 10 years, also I'm thick as hell, so when I tell you I know pizza, you'll have to trust me and try for yourself. Patellie's has a fantastic crust, chewy, crispy, flavorful. They use the perfect amount and kind of sauce & cheese, and they locally source their veggies & meats. In fact, I usually always opt for whatever veggie pie they have that day (their chef is a mad genius), and it never disappoints. We don't make it up to Michigan as much anymore since selling our home, but I think about the pizza...and the other love of my life (their burrata) often & feel wistful. Check it out!

the meatball sub was awful. what's up with using ricotta instead of mozzarella? when I asked for mozzarella they said it wouldn't melt properly. no onions or spices very bland. the worse part is that they didn't toast the bun and too much sauce so soggy n u could not possibly pick up and eat as a sandwich. the veggie pizza used to be good but somehow changed. again tasteless though I could taste the garlic from the jar. 42.00 seems high for these two items. save your money

Very satisfied with our carryout feast from Patellie's. We got a few pies, meatballs and cheese and crackers for some holiday grazing. We enjoyed all of it. My sausage and Calabrian pepper pizza was excellent. I almost got giardiniera, but when I saw the the spicy Calabrians I decided to shake up the string of groundhog days and try a different combo. Sixteen inch pies, so you'll get eight proper slices. Pies had a good amount of cheese, a tasty sauce and perfect crust. Patellie's would be solid pizza anywhere. In Three Oaks it feels like a find, and where we'll be going in the future.

Hands down the best pizza for 50 miles! Good crust, good salads, drinks, some gelato/frozen desert options. Everything is great, employees are always nice and smiling like they enjoy what they're doing. It's an all around good environment that leaves me full and happy! My only complaint is that they aren't open more.

We were visiting for our family beach trip to Lake Michigan and lucky enough to find this delicious pizza! We ordered a margarita for our family and received a glorious pizza. Called to confirm there was no egg in dough as our daughter has an egg allergy. Easy to order and pick up. We ate the entire pizza among our family of 4. Will definitely visit again next time we're in the area and try other items!

Last week, my wife and I and our two granddaughters had pizza at Patellie's. We each selected our own pizza and everyone agreed the pizza was exceptional. The service was also exceptional. A great little pizza joint.

I'm so glad we gave this place a try. The menu is small and that makes things so much simpler. We got the standard 16" pie with pepperoni on all and half with onion, red pepper, and mushrooms. It was so delicious. The crust is my idea of perfect. Not too thick and not too thin. The sauce has the tiniest bit of kick to it. Just enough to let you know it's there. The cheese was tasty and the toppings were fresh. Can't wait to try other topping!

Dave S.

Outstanding pizza. The crust is crispy and chewy, the toppings are delicious and the sauce is tangy and wonderful. I can't recommend their pizza enough. I can't wait to be in the area again to order from Patellie's.

Hands down best pizza around! No joke. New York style, East Coast worthy pie right here in the Midwest. Never once been disappointed. There have been weeks where we have ordered three days in a row. I dare you to try this place there's no way you're not gonna like it. The staff is so friendly and the service is awesome. Enjoy your pie. We love Patellie's

This is by far the best pizza I have had in years. We got a margherita pizza to split, good portions for 2 people. The sauce was so fresh, it tasted like hand crushed fresh tomatoes. Food came out in 15 mins and we ate on the patio which was lovely! Overall 11/10 experience and would travel back here just for some more za.

This place is honestly amazing! I've known about this place for a few years now and they've never failed to impress me each visit. Me and my boyfriend aren't big into pizza but there's is something I've always loved. Especially their margarita pizza. Ive wanted to show my boyfriend this place for awhile now, but it's a 30 minute drive so we never had the excuse to go till yesterday. Now I regret showing him because he wants to go again today! safe to say he LOVED it. Wouldn't stop talking about it on the way home! Pizza was delicious as always, we both got margarita slices and the amount you get is huge! It's practically 2 slices in one! Where I live you can't really find margarita pizza and if you do it isn't good. Their sauce is amazing, the crust is perfectly chewy but crunchy and thin, and the cheese has an amazing flavor as well. You can tell their ingredients are fresh. Customer service was amazing per usual, I loved the selection of drinks and the friendly atmosphere! You're immediately welcomed and greeted by every staff in that building. I loved it. Had a cute eating area outside and they were able to serve me my food through a window so I didn't have to walk back in! This place checks out in every area. They definitely deserve my 5 stars and a high rating in general. I appreciate this amazing business and their staffing. Definitely a customer for life!

I've had a lot of pizzas from many different places in Berrien County. Patellies is head and shoulders above the rest. Always ask about their specials, of the 7 or 8 different ones I've ordered I can only think of 1 that I didn't love, but it was still pretty good. Try their homemade crackers, cream cheese and jam appetizer. It's also phenomenal!

My new favorite pizza spot in SW Mich. This place is for those that like thin crust and quality ingredients. Order and Pick-up windows on the outside of the building make for an easy transaction. I called and ordered on a Saturday in the summer at 5pm and the wait was 2.5 hours. Well worth the wait.

A group of five friends and myself were on a trip and wandering around downtown Three Oaks, Michigan looking for a good lunch spot. We were planning on giving another place a try but that was a hot mess. We wanted a sit down restaurant that we could get a drink at, as well as some simple bar food. There was no such location to be found in the downtown area that didn't have a weird vibe so we decided to "settle" on Patellie's, which advertised slices of pizza. We are so happy we landed on this option!! The slices of pizza were each a quarter of a pizza. It was thin crust and they offered 4 options for slices. Between all of us in the group we tried the sausage, pepperoni and margarita slices. Everyone was extremely happy with their choice and agreed that this was the best option for lunch we could've found. They have chili sauce for dipping on the table which was a huge hit. No alcohol available but they do have fun craft sodas and soft drinks.

Being from Chicago, the bar is pretty high when it comes to quality pizza. Not so much deep dish pizza but pizza in general. So staying in Union Pier last weekend, we ordered in and opted for Patellie's. Of course I was skeptical but my skepticism proved me wrong - in a good way! We did a 16" thin sausage and mushroom. Next time I'll pass the mushroom but you can tell that sausage was fresh and probably homemade. The biggest surprise to me was the amount of cheese they put on this pie. It was an enormous amount but an enormous amount that was welcomed with open arms. This was a nice NY style type pie and deserves another go round next time I head back to Union Pier.

This is some of the best pizza you'll find in Southwest Michigan. The sausage is phenomenal and the crust is amazing. Definitely the best anywhere south of Hagar Shore (pizza people know what's there). Good stuff!! Can't stop eating!

Fantastic sausage pizza - everything you want in a thin crust pizza and nothing you don't. They only make one size pizza -16". We ordered a sausage, mushroom onion and a daily special salad - burrata and marinated tomatoes. The food was done a little earlier then they the time we were told it would be. We ordered at 6:25 on a Friday night and it was ready at 9:35 so ORDER EARLY! Delicious crust, homemade sausage and ice cold glass-bottle sodas to enjoy on their patio on a summer evening - perfect for a casual date after a day at the beach.

Would be amazing in Chicago, even MORE amazing that it's here! When I saw one of the owners used to work at Blackbird (RIP) I knew it was going to be fire. Thank you Patellie's for existing and for bringing my favorite kinds of pizzas to the countryside. P.S. Try the meatballs

Just for fun we did a taste test with Patellie's and another locally made pizza. I was still impressed by the outstanding taste profile, texture, and lightness of this pizza. It is far and away the best pizza in the area for me. The sweet chewy crust and the evenly distributed specialty toppings make this pie a standout among standouts.

Oh yum delicious!! The featured pizza: peach, jalapeño, bacon and scallion was amazing and huge! Walk up pickup window in a cute town. Will order again!

Patellie's - you rock! All the pizza in a 30mi square radius of Michiana area sucks... except Patellies. It's no Chicago pizza, but it's waayyyy better than anything else in the area. Yum yum yum

The BEST pizza in the area! They do by the slice which was so filling and huge. You can also get a whole box. I was so happy since there aren't many restaurants in the area. It had a cozy atmosphere with minimal seating. I liked their drink selections as well. I will certainly be back.

Not only the best pizza around Three Oaks, but a close second behind Venturi for best pizza in Michiana. Very "east coast" style shop, designed towards takeout and delivery, not dining in. Beautiful crust, fantastic sauce. Not quite a New York style, but very close, in a good way. New but old school. They even have spumoni in the freezer, which I haven't seen in a while. Super friendly, definitely check these guys out.

Hands down the best pizza we've had in a very long time. Ellie the owner was so gracious and friendly, her pizza making skills are top notch. We ordered the half cheese and half veggie pizza. The cheese pizza was unbelievable, definitely just as good and even better than any thin crust NYC pizza I've ever had. The dough is delicious and the crust is amazing, I never eat the crust but this time there was nothing left on my plate except a few crumbs. A must try if you're visiting Three Oaks, MI. Can't wait to come back for more!

To say this pizza is the best in Harbor Country doesn't do it justice. These pies rival any you've had on the east coast. True culinary craftsmanship and awesome service will keep you coming back again and again. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan.

I really love that Three Oaks is growing and full of new businesses and restaurants. I am not in love with the pizza here, but the meatball sandwich is amazing! Looking forward to the menu expanding and would love to see more sandwich options in the future. The connected Bottle Shop is a cool addition too!

Nice dinner the other night at Patellie's. We had pizza by the slice which was a nice option to be able to try a couple of their specialty pizzas and since they were already cooked, it was very fast. The quality of the ingredients shine through here, whether it is was the golden grape tomatoes on top or the house made bacon. Sat outside on the street side deck.

FOOD KRANK gives Patellie's high marks. New to Three Oaks, this new pizzeria serves up slices and full pies in addition to sandwiches and salads. Had a tangy slice of cheese pizza cut in half for My wife and I. Being an ex New York pizza krank it Starts with the crust. Patellie's crust hits the spot and lingers on after the last bite. Tomato Sauce is fresh and cheese right sized creating a delicious Blend, each ingredient having its moment. Interior eating environment is upscale and communal. Well Designed with swag for sale! Will be back to try Home made sausage! Three cheers and five stars For Patellie"s

Guys, you don't wanna start with this place. You'll be obsessed. Once you know Patellie's you'll never want any other pizza. This is hands down the best pizza I've ever had. And it's not just me who says that. All my friends who visit, from either coast, say this is the best pizza ever.

This was the best pizza I have ever had outside of Scranton, PA. The crust was perfection, the cheese was so delicious and buttery. We had 3 large trays. 4 adults 2 kids. There was NONE left! We also had the side salad of fresh peas with burrata and lemon mint dressing. Fresh peas, house made burrata. Absolutely fabulous!

We went here on a Saturday night to order some pizza. We ordered a few types of pizzas and they were all fantastic. The pizza was a little thinner and more like a New York style slice. Everything about the pizza was excellent. I would definitely come back again when in the area.

There's no doubt this some of the best pizza I've ever had! Every ingredient is so thought out and pairs so nicely with one another. The sandwiches are fantastic too! The BBQ chicken is our favorite (not on the menu but it's always a good day when it's their special!) You can tell they actually use high quality ingredients which is rare to find anywhere these days. We really love this place and highly recommend it to locals and all area visitors!
