Quarantino's

I am not from the Grand Rapids area, so I asked around for a good pizza place. Quarantino's was recommended. Their pizza is Detroit style pizza (rectangle deep dish), the ingredients were good. I ordered the "Roni Boi" with light sauce, beer cheese (smoked gouda beer cheese) and it was served with soft pretzel knots. My partner ordered their Breadsticks which were good. The resturant has good food. 4 out of 5.

Quarantino’s in Grand Rapids proves it belongs in the city’s top-tier pizza conversation with a menu that’s bold, inventive, and unapologetically indulgent. From the first bite, it’s clear this is a kitchen that understands how to balance comfort with creativity. The Crab Rangoon pizza is the undeniable showstopper. A luxurious, creamy crab filling is layered over a perfectly crisp-yet-chewy crust, accented with sweet chili heat and subtle garlic notes. It’s rich without being heavy, playful yet refined—an inspired reinvention of a takeout classic that somehow works beautifully in pizza form. The Honky Dory pizza brings a completely different energy: smoky, savory, and deeply satisfying. Every bite delivers a harmonious blend of toppings with a sauce that’s bright and well-seasoned, anchored by a crust that has that ideal blistered edge and soft interior. It’s the kind of pizza that reminds you why simplicity, when executed well, can be just as impressive as innovation. Rounding out the experience, the pickle sticks are a crave-worthy starter—crispy, tangy, and perfectly fried, with a briny punch that cuts through the richness of the pizzas. They’re addictive, the kind of appetizer you keep reaching for long after you’re “full.” Overall, Quarantino’s delivers a confident, flavor-forward experience that cements its place as a serious contender for the best pizza in Grand Rapids. It’s creative without being gimmicky, comforting without being ordinary, and absolutely worth the hype.

Simply put, some of the best pizza in the area. Best Detroit style I've had hands down. Licari is the only place around playing in the same league that I know of at least. This is one of those places where you can tell they take pride in their craft - it really feels like a craft. And what pizza place can also provide the best English muffins you've ever had? Phenomenal.

This was our first time here. The deep dish pizza was delicious. The salad was ok not as fresh as expected. but the olives were excellent. We also bought some freshly baked sourdough bread and hot honey. We will be back. Service was fast and friendly

Best pizza place on the Westside of Michigan. Some of the best pizza I've had in years. It is structurally perfect Detroit-style that you can pickup with fear of a flop. Funky flavor options are insanely good. For example, take the Leave it to Caesar, a Kale Chicken Caesar salad in pizza form. If you like the salad, you'll love the pizza. Just think of the dough as the croutons 😁 Traditional pizza styles are also solid.

Absolutely amazing Detroit style pizza. That staff was equally as amazing as the food. It was obvious that Quarantino’s takes both their service and food very seriously. We ordered 2 different pizzas and an order of breadsticks which was more than enough food for 2 with lots of leftovers. We got the Bumpy Cake for desert which was delicious. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area.

Ordered take out Bruschetta pizza and arancini. I was looking for a tomatoey taste and the bruschetta fit the bill. Very good. The 5 arancinis had very good texture but we found it quite salty. Wish I could return it. Suggest backing off on the salt. Our benchmark for arancini is the arancini in Eataly in Chicago. Quite busy on a Friday night. Still had to wait for the food that was supposed to be picked up at 630pm which I ordered at 445pm. They said it will be ready but it wasn't. I still had to wait. Plus the guy behind the counter was rude. I think he thinks he was being cool but not.

So good you’ll deal with not being able to find a parking spot! I loved it. So fresh. Bright sauce. Just the right amount of everything in each bite. The best pizza I’ve had in GR so far. Will be hard to beat! Brovo! Love, your favorite pizza snob.

great vegan pizza options. when i'm in the mood for deep dish, quarantino's is our place. the pizzas are the perfect size for my partner and i to both get our own and have a few slices left over. i get the vegan maui bird and he gets the vegan fun guy. both are delicious. i didn't really care for the vegan cheese sticks or the hot honey but that's okay. the pizzas are good enough to still warrant 5 stars. i see they've added Vegan Korean Corn Cheese Breadsticks and i'm dying to try those. a pizza night is calling our names.

Excellent Detroit style pizza But most amazing was the hunky-dory pizza. It had a hot honey and other items. I didn't really think would've gone together... until I had it and then couldn't stop eating it. Parking is a Little tough in that area, but it's well worth it

Really wonderful experience dining here. Waiter was great and attentive, the pizza was creative and fantastic (also get the Korean corn bread off the secret menu!!!), and the prices are really reasonable for the portions you get. A must stop in Grand Rapids!! Good for vegetarians, vegan, and gluten free.

Ordered online for pickup, got the MC5 and Quarantino Deluxe. Drove to the store, your parking options are street park or park next to the store and turn on your hazard blinkers. I went in and was greeted and told them I was there to pick up the online order. The pizza was ready within the given time. They got booth seating along the window and some additional tables in the middle of the store. I feel like the tables could be better organized :) The pizza was good crust was the awesome! I felt that the pizza size compared to the price, it was pricey. Each pie comes in six slices. I would have consumed one pie by myself. I wish they offered more option than ranch or marinara sauce. I see that you can scan the QR code to see their secret menu items, so don't forget to do that. I'll definitely be back and try their other offerings.

Great food and great service!! Gabriel was very kind and informative. Pizza was delicious, the crust is so crispy yet fluffy and the house made herby ranch was the perfect dipping sauce. Will definitely be back!

Got some pizzas for take out a few times. Honestly, every flavor I've tried is a win. I'm usually a thin crust NY style kinda gal, but this is like a deliciously fluffy focaccia style bread with thoughtful combinations of flavor and some classics too.

We dined in with family who live in GR and order from here frequently. I was super pleased with the vegan options. I ordered the Super Greek and it was delicious. I ate half that night. Others ordered the Greektown and a custom order. Great service, explained the menu to us. We were the only ones in there but it was late and it was the last day for dine in for a bit as they were doing a remodel. FYI the pizza tasted great cold the next day.

In search of some deep dish pizza, we stumbled across Quarantino's and I promise you, it's some of the best Detroit style pizza this far away from Detroit! I really do like the play on words and their backstory, but their service and food was ultimately the best part! Great and quick service! The parking, on the other hand, was quite difficult. There's basically nowhere to park, the streets in the area are kind of confusing. There is also nowhere to sit to dine in, at least not yet, so you'll have to get over those two issues to enjoy the food. When it comes to the pizza, though, 10/10! Their options are amazing, I love that their sauce goes on top, and the fact that they only have one size only makes it easier for me to get a single pizza all to myself! Highly recommend!

Super cool dine-in restaurant. Great staff and super friendly. This pizza is Detroit style and in my opinion, better than Buddy's. Maybe the Six & Conant location is better, but not the new big corporate spots. The pizza's are delicious (we had three different types). They are reasonably priced as well. We will be back for sure.

Update regarding dessert: Finally dined in and tried the vegan cashew truffles--they were amazing!!

Ordered take out from here for the 1st time. Ordering online was very easy and timing was great. The staff was very kind and we picked up the order once we arrived. We do not live close to the restaurant but the food was still pipping hot when we got home. We did feel the cost for the amount was a bit steep however the pizza taste like it was homemade. We loved that the crust was crisp and the toppings were plentiful. We would try again and try other menu items.

Easily the best pizza in town. We've tried four different flavors and I'm not sure I can choose a favorite. The owner is also badass.

Simply the best Detroit style pizza around. Top notch quality ingredients, vegetarian and vegan options, great meatballs and tiramisu. They now offer dine in and service is quick and friendly. I only live in Grand Rapids a few months of the year and I crave Quarantinos when I am back down in Florida.

The champion of pizza in GR full stop. Even microwaved Quarantinos is better than most fresh pizza from spots nearby. Believe the hype, eat here.

It was alright, between a 3 and a 4. I ordered 2 pizzas, 1 salad, 1 wings, 2 sides of ranch. *take out* I got the Pepperoni and Shrooms pizza. We ordered this for a gathering expecting these pizzas would feed 2-3 people per pizza-ish. The pizzas are much smaller then they appear. Pepperoni Pizza smelt amazing in the car, I opened the box and I looked down and sad a puddle of water forming at the apex of the pizza. Then lift the pizza and sauce this watery tomato sauce all over the bottom seat of my car. When I got home to eat I noticed the edges off all the pepperoni slices were now soggy, probably due to the water from the marinara sauce, but it only was the very edges of all the slices, so once you got to the middle of each slice it was perfectly fine. Anyways the pepperoni did taste good, I would order this again and hope it was just a mistake or a new person doing the take out order. Shroom Pizza also smelt amazing in my car, it however didn't have the same water problem. It stayed a dry pizza. Off a single slice I enjoyed the shrooms pizza more, but I think I could have eaten the entire more of the pepperoni pie. The Shroom pie was very rich and filling, it was delicious but only in small quantities. I would get it again but only if it was a large party. Atlas Salad, a basic house salad with a red wine vinaigrette dressing. Minus points for tossing the salad before hand, it gets the salad soggy. It was fine, nothing special. 1 Pound Jumbo Wings, Surprisingly my favorite item. Sort of an Asian, lemon pepper wing. Those did not go uneaten, if I lived slightly closer I would go just for the wings. But $15.50 for 6-7 wings is a lot, thankfully they were great! Ranch sucked, very thick ranch, not your typical pizza ranch. I will be back but not running back.

Best Detroit Style Pizza I've ever had. Innovative Pizza Crafts People. Every pie they have (as crazy as they may sound) are glorious. They stay true to some classic flavors, but I really appreciate and love the creativeness they put into their offerings . (((Chefs Kiss)))

Just had my second visit to Quarantino's. This place is AMAZING! I ordered the MC5 again and it was just as delicious as I remembered. Love the super crispy edges and perfect pepperoni. I tried a sparkling tea and it was equally delicious. Everyone that works there is super friendly and fun to chat with. I will be coming here every time I'm in town. Awesome experience all around.

The food is fine, the price is not. The dough is a bit lighter than Buddy's. Overall, Buddy's is a better pizza at a better price. You get more options, too. I imagine the only reason people are raving about this place over and above Buddy's is because they're being contrarian. I read all the rave reviews and thought, "Cool, a better Detroit pizza than Buddy's, let's do it. WOW THOSE PRICES ARE INSANE. Anyway, let's just try it, it sounds like it's worth it." Then I tried it. We did the MC5, Cheesy breadsticks, and Zoe Zoe Zoe. They were fine. The sauce tastes quite fresh. The breadsticks were slightly basil-forward, and lighter dough than the pizza. I like Buddy's better. And even if people like Quarantino's better, there just isn't enough difference to actually be head over heels about this place like so many are. Stick with Buddy's. But this place is fine. UPDATE: Came here again, got a The Nene and a Hunky Dory. This visit just confirms my previous review. The crust remains light and baked well, the pizzas are...fine. The Nene didn't have much smoked flavor to the ham. Only tasted it once. Wasn't much ham flavor in general. Wouldn't get this one again, because it really didn't taste like anything. The Hunky Dory was OK, but not nearly as spicy as I was thinking it might be, in flavor or in heat. The honey is on the side, and it's fine, but definitely honey, so quite sweet. So while these pizzas sounded interesting, the reality was that the flavors were a complete letdown. So I'm going to repeat what I said previously: Buddy's is better, and cheaper. The sauces and cheeses are more robust and flavorful, and I just can't think of a reason to order from Quarantino's if Buddy's is an option. Stick with Buddy's.

Idk if quarantinos is the best Detroit pizza in the state of MI but they are def worth me giving them 5 stars all day everyday. Greg our server was super. He steered in the right direction for beer choices (quite important if you ask me !). He was extremely polite and somewhat professional (I'm kidding he was excellent) The place itself isn't fancy by any means and it doesn't need to be bc here it's all about serving the people excellent quality food executed to the highest degree of culinary quality. Now as for the food, pls make sure you get their meatball app. They grind their own meat and of course make the slightly picante sauce from scratch. Chicken wings are served whole (wing drum still connected.) they are sourced locally I believe from the Amish. Lastly but def not least the Detroit pizza. The dough absolutely shines here which is absolutely necessary to have a killer dough in order to make a killer Detroit pizza. Their smoked bacon is so perfect on the pizza and has a good amount of smoke which plays great with the richness of dough and cheese. The strips of pizza sauce are bright but not acidic. By the way they smartly roast mushrooms so your pie won't be a watery mess. The pie my wife and I split had smoked bacon, caramelized onions and roasted mushrooms.

Amazing Detroit Style Pizza!! They were not open for inside service at the time of my visit in August, but they should be soon if not already. This pizza was spectacular. Excellent crispy crust. Not overly greasy. Good, friendly people work there. Good location, however parking was not the easiest. The pizza looked so good I had to dive right in. I made it like 10 steps out of the restaurant and ate it on the side of the road. I highly recommend.

The vegan Cesar is incredible I crave it regularly!!!! Service is always lovely, pizza never ever disappoints, and the new indoor dining space is really quite charming! Friday night pizza doesn't have to be on Friday...

We are from Ohio and visited Grand Rapids, Michigan. Had to try Quarantino's and it was over-the-top delicious. We had the Zoe Zoe Zoe pizza which is made with caramelized onions, goat cheese and topped with a balsamic glaze. The staff was exceptional. They made us feel very welcome. The tiramisu was larger enough for two.

We do not live around Easttown so it took a second to navigate for parking to pick-up the pizza; however, it was worth it! We tried The Nene and a gluten free Deluxe. The Nene had a golden crust but the inside of the dough was light and fluffy. The sauce was thick and amazing (daughter said it had a little spice in the pizza) and cheese was perfectly melted. The gluten free pizza crust was absolutely fantastic. It was thin and cooked to perfection. Normally thin GF crusts become like hard flaky crackers but this pizza still had a good flop to it and there was no GF gooeyness that accompanied that. The only disappointing thing is that the GF has far less sauce than their regular pizzas (maybe some on the side would have been a good alternative since the crust can't handle sauce overload). The dining area is cluttered with benches, tables, food/product storage so it did not appear to be a place to sit down and eat your food but we had ordered pick-up so that wasn't a deterrent for us. We are definitely planning a return trip here for pizza!

Solid Detroit-style pizza with great creativity and variety among the toppings and styles. Detroit-style pizza puts its Chicago cousin to shame, and Quarantino's is a solid expression of the style. Kale caesar salad was a great accompaniment.

I was finishing up a trip around lake Michigan and found this gem. Great atmosphere and fantastic service. I wanted some authentic Detroit style pizza. This hit the mark. We had a half Pepperoni and half sausage pizza. They make their own sausage on site and it was delicious. We also had a mushroom pizza that was also amazing. Don't miss this spot.

This pizza was SOOOO good! We ordered the Hunk of Burning Love, which we were told they didn't have anymore but they had something similar, and whatever it was, it was delicious! We also ordered some cheese bread, which was delicious itself, but the marinara it came with!!!! I would drink that marinara!!! It was heavenly! We will certainly be back next time we're in the area and craving pizza!

Coming from Detroit area, eating. Detroit style before it was coined that term, this is not very good. The sauce is more like a pasta sauce than a pizza sauce. The pizza didn't have the golden crust, it was more of a burnt black crust. Not authentic Detroit style at all. Hard and overly salty. We through it away and took my daughter to Taco Bell instead.

Great takeout pizza option! We love the fun Detroit style options they have. The cheese bread and pizzas were amazing! Highly recommend for a date night in or hosting a party this would be a great option!

Glad to see that GR has a legit Detroit style pizza place, other than Buddy's, which IMO is OVERRATED! We got 3 assorted pizzas delivered that took care of the meat-eaters, the vegetarian, and the vegan. My sister and her family had ordered their pizza before so they knew what to order and have enjoyed their pizzas before . I had the MC5 which had the pepperoni and it had a nice flavor to it. Personally I could've used it cooked a little longer, but I was the only one that felt that way! The delivery guy was very personable, and the pizzas came pretty quick and he was able to find my sisters house which isn't always easy as it's kinda hidden on Reeds Lake.

I was seriously so excited to learn that a pizza joint in GR had gluten free, vegan pizza! While I'm not typically GF or vegan, I wanted to try it out. We got the chicken pesto pizza (regular) and the gluten free vegan Maui bird (Hawaiian pizza) and was pleasantly very impressed! Vegan cheese is very creamy compared to typical mozzarella with a cheese pull but both were quite good! Any time we want Detroit styled takeout pizza, we'll always go for Jet's because it's quite simple and easy going but Quarantino's is going to be added to our list being local to GR! The gluten free pizza comes as a round but I heard that the vegan pizza can be square. I'm excited to try that one next. Definitely worth a shot if you're in the Eastown area and craving some pizza for your night in!

We had the kale Caesar salad and a pizza. The salad was great. We liked the pizza which the flavors were great, but I think the sauce was too watery because the bottom was kind of soggy. Maybe it was a one off because otherwise I've heard great things about this place. While we were waiting for the pizza though we had excellent service. Definitely will try again!

This is my favorite pizza in Grand Rapids. Excellent Detroit style pizza, nicely cooked to a perfect crunch. It's a small menu, they stick to what they know and do it well. Love the simplicity, no gimmicks, just classic pizza

Best pizza in GR, hands down. Love a cool local spot and this place has Easttown written all over it. Plus, great pizza.

I am speechless. The Honky Dory has ruined me for all pizza ever. As a self declared First Lady to the Pizza Patrol Chief we have traveled the nation far and wide for the best of all pizzas in every shape and form including making our own in our personal Ooni. All falls short to this. We downed our pizza right outside of Quarantino's in our car and cannot imagine trying to make it home with this treasure. The Pesto Chicken was also phenomenal. I continually said "holy crap" throughout this dining experience. The ranch is not needed but also delightful and clearly different than your usual joints premade or run of the mill. I don't live in GR but will take the 2 hour drive from Ann Arbor any day of the week. No in house dining, no problem. The hot honey cures all. Good night Grand Rapids, you have been so kind to us weary travelers. I curtsy to you Chefs. If nothing else good came out of quarantine, you are a ray of sunshine through the cloudy march skies.

Do you remember when you first had jets or buddies? And you were like dang this is some good stuff. As much as those guys took square pizza to a higher level, Quarantino's is here to take it to space. This pizza is so so good, the slight tart of the sour dough, the buttery deep corners, the toppings are high quality and you have legit choices (right now im on a artichoke, bacon, garlic bender). But my favorite part is I get done eating a slice and I'm like dang that wasn't all that heavy. I know, square pizza is good in general so its hard to believe it can be that much better, but just trust me on this. Long live King Quarantino and his delicious square pizzas!!!

Best pizza in the city. My husband and I will drive a ridiculous way out of our way in order to pick this up. I've tried essentially the whole menu and haven't found a bad thing yet. Can't wait until their dining room opens up!

love this pizza!! tried it for the first time today and it's amazing. Best Detroit style i've had and one of the best in GR for sure.

I've gotten three pies in the last few weeks from here and will definitely keep coming back. Great sauce, dough, and toppings. Beats buddies by far (in my opinion), not as greasy as jets. If you're looking for Detroit style deep dish, this is the place. Also solid salads. Haven't had a bad thing yet. Parking is a bit weird but it is worth getting there.

Some of the best pizza i've had! Been wanting to try this place for a while now and i'm upset I didn't go sooner. The pizza and the cheesy bread are both delicious and the homemade RANCH is something else!!! The staff were incredibly friendly and made us excited to come back before even trying the pizza :)

I finally made it out to Quarantino's! I find the ironic name of this place apropos to current pandemic conditions. Anyhow, I absolutely love their pizza. I think pizza tastes are unique to the individual but for me I was blown over by the uniqueness of their crust. It was soft and fluffy like the kind you get from no knead bread. The sauce was tasty and cheese amount good. My husband didn't prefer the sweetness but he is the type that likes a flat crust, layers of cheese and extra salt. I'm more into the texture and a moderate balance between sauce and cheese. Their cheese sticks were also very yummy - different as there was dill on it and they served with a ranch and marinara sauce. Overall, I love this little gem of a pizza place that is not your typical fare. Delicious! I want more (:

If you fancy yourself an enthusiast of the moderately deep-dish style pizza known as "Detroit Style," then you simply must try Quarantino's. I tend to stick with the classic pepperoni, but I have not been disappointed by anything I've tried on their menu.

I drove out to this place only to find no seating and pretty much take out only. I'm visiting from a different state and really wanted to try it but without seating I didn't want to be the weirdo eating a pizza inside my car. They should just leave a few small tables.

Real good. Texture is soft but crunchy and the Ezzo pep in the mc5 is always a great premium addition. The cheese was tangy and a good stretch. House made ranch was insane and I wish I had more stuff to dip in it. Real cool guy in the shop too, was fun to talk to. The whole pizza is a touch smaller than I thought though, 6 modest size slices were easy for me to polish off but likely not enough to share.

Amazing pizza! This is a cool new place that jumped up and opened despite Covid knocking other restaurants down. They came up with a great wordplay name and are knocking out some bada$$ pizzas and more! They are currently a takeout and delivery place ONLY - no seating for dine in. There is only one size of pizza, but it's square and it's Detroit style, which makes it the BEST. They only have a handful of different pizzas to choose from, or you can build your own. But then on top of that, you can get any of those pizzas made Vegan. Super cool! Other things like gluten free crust, Salads, bread sticks, take and bake, desserts, but we only ordered pizza! I gotta give a huge shout out to the OK Shroomer pizza - holy cow, if you like mushrooms and/or the amazing flavor of mushrooms you have GOT TO try this pizza! The mushroom sauce that they put on top, along with the taleggio cheese puts this pizza over into a sinful category that makes you want to go full on glutton. I recommend going to check this place out - like you basically need to go right now if you're checking out reviews for them. The answer is yes... Just go.

Love the amazing staff here! We come all the from East Lansing to enjoy this delicious pizza. Thank you for truly caring about your customers and the quality of food you serve. We love you!

Great service, great pizza. Went in not knowing what to expect, staff was charismatic and helpful. Outside seating available across the street was very nice

Hilarious name -- 1 point Great pizza crust -- 1 point Tasty and creative salad -- 1 point Fast and friendly service -- 1 point I'm from New York so I will always judge pizza harshly, would really take a stupendous product to get a 5 star. But what we have here is a great option for Detroit style pizza in GR. Looking forward to going back in the future to try their other pizzas!

Detroit Style pizza has a special little place in my heart. This place is a solid go-to especially since it's in my neighborhood. The deep-dish style and fun topping options are what sets this place apart from your run of the mill shop. Yes the prices are a little higher than your traditional chains, but it's worth it for sure. Can't wait to see what the dine in experience will be like once the dining room opens up.

My how the mighty have fallen. A year ago this was amazing. Today, it tasted bad. Real bad. Burnt toppings and extremely overpriced for the portions. This was my last chance with this place, and I should have known it would be bad when I was walking by it prior to open and saw an employee sprint into the crosswalk and flip off the driver who had to slam on her brakes. Avoid this place at all costs.
