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.
