The Original Cottage Inn Pizza

Had not been here in a long time... glad that we did! Family enjoyed their dinner and portions were generous. Decor is casual, nothing too fancy. Appetizers to start... Calamari was nice and crisp, yet tender on the inside. Can't go wrong with cheesy bread... be careful not to get too full on it. Cranberry pecan salad was perfectly balanced on ingredients and flavorful. Great as a side or to have on its own. Entrees... Chicken parmesan was the kids' fave of the night. The ravioli florentine was flavorful and sauce super rich. As for the chicken marsala, chicken was tender served with dark brown gravy, mashed potatoes and large cuts of broccoli florets; taste-wise, the gravy was just okay. Feel like that either makes or breaks the rest of the dish. However, the quantity was more than enough to make up for it. We would definitely go back again.

Immediately when walking in, this place was far above expectations. Multiple floors of seating, awesome ambiance, great lighting and comfortable seating. Waiter was attentive, kind and informative. The Menu was large, but focused and with Pizza being our main goal we only veered off for appetizers; the Trio Sampler sounded too good to pass up and it definitely was. The Pizzas, from Pesto to BBQ Chicken and back around to classics, were absolutely amazing. Cooked to perfection and unique combos of flavor made it a memorable dining experience. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.

I plan my son’s birthday party every year at The Original Cottage Inn. This year, the service was even more impressive. Walter took the time to personalize my needs and adapt the service to run smoothly. Even though I added 10 extra people, Walter was able to make it work. The venue is beautiful. The tables were set up with appetizers and there was a buffet for the food. Everything was delicious. Isabel, the server, made sure we had everything we needed and was a very gracious host. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back!

This charming Italian restaurant in Ann Arbor offers fresh food. We started with sangria (grapefruit) very refreshing. We tried the sampler appetizer with fried provolone, calamari, and bruschetta and it was very good. Our entrees consisted of two pizzas and chicken Marsala. The food was great for the most part the pizza crust did need a little more cooking but overall the experience and ingredients were very good. Staff was very attentive and friendly. We were a bit disappointed that this lovely little piece of Italy did not offer tiramisu.

After failed franchise in NC I wanted get back to my roots. The delicious post game pizza of my youth at the original Cottage Inn Pizza! The beer selection was pretty good. We ordered breadsticks, and got cheese bread. Had to order a tea three times. No worries right? The Pizza would win. It didn’t. It tastes like a cheapened down inflation version of its former self. Slightly different than the chain Pizza, but unrecognizable from the Mount Rushmore I had it place on. Maybe I should have known no wait was a bad start

My co-worker and I decided to stopped in for lunch. We decided to have the lunch buffet. The lunch buffet is from 11am -2pm Monday- Friday for $9:95. For the price it's a good buffet. I'm not sure if the items are different in a daily basis, but today they have 3 or 4 pizza options, salad bar, orzark with spinach, roasted potatoes, and turkey with stuffing and gravy. The only thing I didn't care for was the potatoes, because the tasted like they had been there a while. I also came a little after 1pm. But everything else was pretty tasty. Side note the pizza had good crust (all crust is not crated equal). They also have a couple of other specials, half of a pizza on Mondays and the taco bar on Tuesdays for $8.95. I plan to come back and try the taco bar. The inside of the restaurant is really cute. It's pretty spacious. The restaurant is kind of sectioned off, but it make sense. They have seating upstairs and they can accommodate larger groups. In the front of the restaurant there is a bar if you're looking to get something other than soda or juice . A big shout out to Erica!!! She was my waitress and she was phenomenal. She did a wonderful job from the time we walked in until the time we left. Kudos to great customer service.

Everything about this restaurant is amazing first off the service is outstanding...our bartender Chloe was absolutely amazing... good cold beer,fried provolone cheese sticks are game changing..the chicken Parm is the best I've ever had the margarita pizza top notch... needless to say I will definitely be back.....

Great lunch buffet with reasonable price and impeccable service! I really like this restaurant's atmosphere. The food is good too, especially if you consider that the whole lunch buffet (from 11-2) costs only 11.25 (including tax & 18% service charge). What impressed me the most is the service! They were really polite and pleasant. If I were to one day live in Ann Arbor, this place will definitely become one of my favourite places!
