Tomatoes APizza (Birmingham)

New haven Style crispy crust delicious pizza. Loads of toppings. And their sampler pizza is perfect for trying everything. So nice to have a different style of pizza available in Detroit. Friendly prompt staff. Great prices too.

Best pizza in Michigan, imho. Flavor, crust, cheese, pepperoni, it all worked. The sauce is tangy not sweet. 100% worth a try.

I don't like New Haven style pizza. Really. Not my thing. I always feel the flavor is lacking and the coal/wood firing can lead to burning and a bitter taste. But man, oh man. The Red Pizza here is something else. I'm not talking about the classic with the sauce and mozzarella. I'm talking about the one with only Romano cheese mixed into the sauce with no additional cheese layered on top. You'd think it'd be plain but it's one of the most flavorful pizzas I've ever eaten. Add some sausage, black olives, and onions and I'm in heaven. The other pizza is good, but probably something I wouldn't personally recommend. But the red.... the red will change your life. Probably my favorite pizza ever.

Tomatoes is easily one of the top pizza spots in all of Michigan if not the Midwest. The oven just hits different and the pie has a thin crispy crust with a sauce that just hits the spot, every time. They have a friendly staff at this location and it is usually pretty busy. They handle the rush and keep delivering solid pizza. The cheese bread is a speciality on the menu and that paired with marinara sauce is another home run. 5 stars for Tomatoes APizza!

This place serves up a true New Haven pie using the highest quality ingredients. Tomatoes is the only place in the area I can think of that uses a legit coal fired oven. I feel lucky to have Tomatoes in my backyard and will continue to be a loyal customer

Great pizza! Thin, crispy, and great flavor! Highly recommend if you are in the area.

I’ve been going here for a couple months now and it is just slowly degrading in quality. The last green pizza I just ate, had too many toppings and it was soggy and burnt at the same time. I like char but not over burnt like it was. It was too thick and not my style. I thought this was new haven pizza? Cooked it entirely wrong.

Attending a work meeting! Pizza was delivered for our working lunch. This pizza was just amazing. I had never heard of this restaurant, but will definitely order pizza again.

I have to say this is some tasty pizza! I love the Margherita basil with extra sea salt and oil! Great service, they do deliver quite far as well. I would only carry out here though, the place is quite small and lacks atmosphere if you are wanting a dining experience, The place is more so made for carry out. Unusually cut pizza, but who cares when it tastes like that! 10/10

I'm not even sure why they would send the pizza this badly burnt. It's not well done, it's definitely burnt. We order from the bham location somewhat regularly but lately it's been a disappointment. Not only was it burnt but it was cut very sloppy and so salty. It was very difficult for my kids to eat. The only reason why I'm giving it a 1 star is because the chocolate piadina was good.

THE ABSOLUTE best pizza in town. I have been a customer of Tomatoes APIZZA for years now, and it has never done my dirty! I have tried pizza from all over the country, and this is still my favorite. It is always good! I love the pepperoni pizza and the green pizza. So so yummy!

Their pizza and salads are fresh and filling. Also, their croutons are a side dish, so yum!

Pizza here is good, but not SUPER expensive good. The pieces are super floppy and cut in an odd fashion. Sauce is super salty. Not worth the price.

I don't know why they insist on cutting the pizza in to slivers. Happened multiple times even after I requested them to cut from center out to the crust. Pizza was also very salty.

I lived in the dc area for forty years until moving to BNGM 35 years ago. Have had a decent pizza or two but none that won my heart. We finally had a pizza from these guys and it just blewbus a say. Great crust, sperurb toppings, great sauce? Absolutely the bestbpizza in decades. Tremendous.

We ordered the Large Naples Sampler with extra garlic for takeaway and it really did not disappoint. It was perfectly thin, charred, and chewy. The Classic was probably my favorite of the 4 - just the right balance of flavors. Some of the most authentic and tastiest pizzas I've ever had! The only negative was that we had ordered over the phone and by the time we arrived at the restaurant at their specified time, they didn't even start our order yet.

Love getting carry out pizza from this place. The pepperoni is unique here, it has a fantastic rich and salty flavor. Excellent charcoal fire pizza crust. It's a small interior, really only big enough for carry out or to sit and eat a quick lunch. The staff is very kind and patient, even at peak pickup times.

Great thin crust pizza. We tend to get the four recipe sampler. We like the variety.

By far one of my favorite spots for pizza, especially apizza style. Very flavorful and delicious. My order was later than expected, and for pizza it was a bit long of a wait time and actually ended up being a bit burnt, but nonetheless the service was nice and it was great!

Pizza burned to a crisp multiple times. The owner? (old man with white hair) has NO problem giving customers burnt food whereas the other cooks have burned a pizza before and have said ''Let me remake that for you''. Dude just cares about his bottom line and not wasting ANY ingredients. Place needs new owners who care about their reputation and food quality going forward, not a burnt out shell of a human who doesn't care anymore.

We ordered a Large Naples Sampler. I enjoyed all four versions, with the white pie being my favorite. My sister from NJ is visiting and she ate more than her fair share. Funky cut so you may have to pull out your own blade.

My favorite spot in the Birmingham/Troy/Royal Oak area to get pizza (or apizza for those that know)! I ordered the Naples Sampler as it accommodates for all taste buds and picky eaters alike. I love me some New Haven style has that crunch, crisp, and thin-y quality. You can really taste that delicious coal fire in the char of the undercarriage. It's really a take out only kind of spot so can't say too much about the ambience. Also, every time I have talked to the staff, every one has been very accommodating and friendly.

Great food. Awesome service. Top 3 pizza I've had in Detroit area and I truly look forward to coming back.

Ordered a small Naples sampler with pepperoni, small green pizza, added mushrooms, onions, mixed peppers (green and red), basil and anchovies on one side only and a Naples salad too. The green pizza was topped immensely with toppings, nice coverage for sure. The pizza did get a bit soggy and flimsy, but it still tasted good. The crust was hard, but the rest was a bit soggy, might be due to the weight of the toppings though. I tend to like a salad on my pizza and kill two birds with one stone. :) The Naples pizza looks like a nice variety.

First time having Tomatoes APIZZA and it was wonderful. Reminded me very much of pizza we would enjoy in Italy. The large is LARGE. But it's a very thin crust and makes for excellent leftovers. We loved the Naples Sampler as it gave us a little taste of everything. We ordered takeout from the Birmingham location and it was an easy process. The prices are higher than normal pizza prices, but the quality of ingredients are much better than some other pizza places. Would definitely order from here again!

A super thin crust cooked to perfection! Flavor was amazing! We ate so much we were uncomfortable. But it was so good we could not stop eating!

I already knew tomatoes a pizza was good. Ordered catering for a party. Manager, bill was such a friendly honest man! He told me it was going to be too much food and I really appreciated it. I still ended up ordering way too much food but he was very helpful. Our delivery driver so kind also. Thank you for catering my event!

Ok Frankie. One bite, everyone knows the rules. This quickly spreading local chain is attempting to capitalize on Dave Portnoy's love of New Haven style pizza. Is this New Haven style pizza? I don't know, I've never had it. Is this good pizza? Meh? Portnoy's pet peeve is a floppy pizza. This pie has a heavily charred crust and a super floppy undercarriage. It's kind of tough but chewy. Not the biggest fan of the flavor of the dough. Has a definite weird taste to it. The sauce and cheese and pepperoni are outstanding. A large is absolutely humongous. And not only is it huge, it is hugely expensive! But then again, they are next to Papa Joe's in downtown Birmingham; probably the most expensive commercial real estate. I'm glad I tried it but I'm not sure I would have it again.

I was headed into Papa Joe's when I noticed Tomatoes APIZZA located next door. After a quick grocery trip, I stopped into the very clean location set up for take-out/delivery. This is very different from the large, sit-down place that I am accustomed to in Farmington Hills. A quick glance at the menu and decision made: crab pizza and cheese bread. The menu is very simple. For pizzas, you can choose your own toppings or there were a few chef creations. Additionally, you can select salads, pasta, or bread. I waited in my car (COVID) - for 10 minutes only - while the staff prepared my order. The smell of garlic was tantalizing as I drove home. Since there was a ton of road construction, my order was cool rather than piping hot by the time I got home. I had to pop both into the oven for a few minutes for a refresh. The crab was sweet and delicate. The thinly-sliced garlic complemented the overall flavors, as did the squeeze of lemon. The cheese bread, served with tomato sauce, was garlic goodness. I wish I ordered the Naples sampler, 4 different pizza toppings on one pizza. I like trying different flavors. I am glad that there is yet another option for pizza - since it appears that COVD ignited my interest in pizza. I went from having pizza maybe twice a year to pizza all the time.

"One bite, everyone knows the rules..." except for us, apparently. We took many bites, but it couldn't be helped. This pizza was Amazing; of course, at the time we had it, it was still carry out only. So we're already making plans to dine in. The classic pepperoni was fantastic, but the mushroom and onion pizza was my favorite. We had never tried "new haven" style pizza before. I enjoyed it far more than any Chicago style. All the ingredients tasted fresh. The only reason for the four stars was the cheese bread. It was just ok, but I'm sure that was because of the carry out. Like I said, we are looking forward to eating at the establishment!

What a gem of a find! We had no idea this place was here, it happened to pop up on yelp when we were looking for something quick to grab to eat. We ordered the Naples Sampler. The pizza ended up being the perfect compromise for our family. I got to try lots of different flavor combos, my partner got a perfectly thin crispy crust, and my little got pepperonis and fun-shaped slices. We ate the whole thing and it was the perfect amount. We will absolutely be back.

One of my top two Pizzas in the area and my go to when looking to mix it up from Detroit style.

They make a nice thin crust pizza except 2 key points to consider: 1. the sauce is very salty. Avoid adding ham, pepperoni, bacon or anything else with added salt on top as it is already very very salty to begin with. 2. It's EXTREMELY expensive

The classic red sauce is VERY good. We added mushrooms and bacon and it was Fabulous! Recommend ordering " light on the crust" otherwise you will get an authentic wood fire charred crust. Another tip: confirm the store location you call. We placed a pick up order at what we thought was the Birmingham store but we accidentally called the Farmington Hills store. The large size is LARGE and the small is SMALL. The sauce divine. The team is cheerful but busy! There aren't any eat-in tables; service is to-go only. The space is clean with soaring ceilings with an open-concept. Highly recommend and have returned several times since!

How can this be possible 69 dollars for a large pizza and a Cesar salad. Well it is possible that's what we paid last night. Not going to patronize this business anymore. FYI. Pizza was only ok

Pizza arrived cold and burnt. Driver wasnt happy with delivery fee and lack of additional tip (misunderstanding on my part) and wrote "no tip" across the box. Aggressive and unprofessional. Managers did apologize and provided a credit for future order.

First time trying - great thin crust, more authentic style pizza! I like that they do a large sampler like this it's perfect for get together or to just try different flavors if going for your first time

It was okay nothing spectacular. The crust was crispy on the edge but flimsy in the center. Not a true NY style

Love the salad on the lunch buffet. Really easy to make it keto. The pizza is pretty good. I don't think they have the spicy pepper pizza anymore which was my favorite. Hopefully someone will respond and let us know.

Any time I'm working in the Detroit area, I have to have this pizza! My company pays for me meals so I always order a large, that way I get 3 meals out of it and OMG, it's the BEST. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, the pizza is always on time.

Everyone who likes pizza probably has a place that they know of that they think makes the best pizza in the world. But, I humbly suggest you will revise your opinion once you try the pizza at Tomatoes. To give you a true picture of why the pizza is so dang good here, I really do have to break down all the elements so you know why. First, let's start with the name: the sweet and slightly tangy flavor of the San Marzano tomatoes is unmistakable, and you can almost taste the sunshine of the Italian countryside where they were grown. This really sets it apart from a garden-variety (pun intended) tomato sauce. There's a touch of garlic and seasoning that elevate it, but you really get a full taste of the tomato. One thing I love about the thin crust at Tomatoes is that it really highlights what's on top of the crust. While there is a satisfying chew to a deep dish pizza, the crust in that kind of pizza does share top billing with the toppings. Not so here. The crust, while then, still supports everything on top of it perfectly, with a very slight crunch with every bite. When you get to the outside crust, it's perfect and crispy. If you're somebody who normally discards the crust, you won't want to here. Normally, I'm bored with pepperoni pizza, but I love the pepperonis here. My only gripe is that they don't put many on the pizza. And, there's just the right amount of cheese to play with the other elements perfectly. While you're at it, order some garlic bread. As authentic as everything in the pizza is, it probably won't surprise you that they use actual garlic on this bread, not garlic salt like most places. I can't believe I just spent six paragraphs describing pizza and bread, but, I'm already thinking about the next time when I can order another pizza from here.

I'm a huge fan of Tomatoes!! Been supporting this location for some time now. I had the best pizza from here last night!!! Sure, it's a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for!

Best pizza around. If you like thin, crispy pizza, this is the one for you. Toppings are high quality and fresh and they are always friendly.

Had my first experience at Tomatoes and it did not disappoint! I wanted to try all the main staples so I did the sampler. Loved fresh mozz and green pizza. Had the right amount of sauce and cheese on each while it stayed crispy by the time I got home. Good as leftovers too! Will be back!

This is one of my favorite pizza joints in Detroit. It's New England style pizza...thin crust, crispy & just divine! We always get their house salad too which has enough stuff (garbanzo beans, house made croutons, delicious ranch, cucumbers, tomatoes) to fill you up alone! We always go to the one in Birmingham although I hear the Farmington hills one has an awesome brunch option. This one is take out only. Usually good service too...Magy is the best there-never messes up order and is always kind even when they are very busy. Speaking of busy, they are usually "always" busy so order at least one hour ahead on busy nights. **Dessert: their Nutella pizza comes in their dough rolled like a calzone and taste way better than Nutella.

Just tried them last night. Got the large sample, it is really huge but the dough is really thin, reminds me of neapolitan pizza. Each section had unique flavor but I liked the most the tomato garlic and regular margherita. The green was very good too, but I wish they put some additional white sauce. It was a little dry with all that spinach. Good pizza and we will definitely try some more in the future

Authentic pizza. The Naples sampler is so delicious and unusual. Love the salads always get extra ranch. Ranch is made fresh, great on pizza too.

Food was freshly prepared and tasty. You should like the menu variety. It is "expensive"--but they position this as an upscale place. Parking was okay--adjacent to Papa Joe's so the lot fills up! Take out.

Best Cole Fired Pizza in Metro Detroit! I haven't found another one out there that compares. The fried dough croutons are delish too.

If you like apizza style pizza this is the only spot who really does it right in our area. The pizza itself is amazing - don't overdo it on toppings, less is more with that crispy crust! Didn't love the cheese bread - tried it for the first time this past weekend. I plan to just stick to their amazing pizza from now on.

I believe this one is a relative of the one in Farmington. Was during the time of Covid when I visited. Pizza was good and convenient location. I prefer the other one due to the outstanding salad bar. However the pizza is straightforward and exactly what a pizza lover would enjoy.

The worst dried out pizza I have ever had. It was like eating cardboard with cheese and sauce. I literally asked that the dough not be overcooked and both pizza and cheese bread were dried-out-over-baked....poor excuse for pizza. Oh, did I mention the grease? Both pizza and bread had excessive grease...which leaked through the box! I totally lost my appetite. I like TomatoesApizza...but the Birmingham location needs some pizza cooking lessons from the staff at the 14 Mile & Middlebelt location. If you want good pizza go to the Farmington Hills restaurant. Always a great pizza!

We have been going here for the last two years since we moved to Michigan. In the past we had enjoy the pizza, but lately we have noticed a change. Every time we order at the pizza comes burnt. We even called back to have them re-make a pizza and it came out burnt again. Black underneath and edges. Very disappointed. Instead of a refund we just won't be returning again. For a $32 pizza we want it to be good. I would pass on this place moving forward.

The food is good but not happy with the ordering online process. We ordered pizza and picked the earliest time option, but when we arrived, they told us to come back in 45 minutes.

The pizza was very delicious. The garlic bread was tasty enough, but there wasn't anything AMAZING about it. The cheese bread would probably been a better choice. One large white pizza was very good. But the winner was the 2nd pizza, which had sausage and green pepper. The Caesar salad seemed to go over well except that everyone mentioned how the croutons were all burned. Two reasons that this place was knocked down a star are: 1. Both pizzas were burned/overcooked on one side (along with the aforementioned croutons); and, 2. The way they cut the pizza is asinine. Instead of long strips they should simply cut the pie into smaller "bite sized" pieces. I'd definitely go back, ensuring that we order the hazelnut chocolate bread.

I'm... not sure what I'm missing here. I know it's supposed to be "authentic" Italian pizza, but I was in Italy recently and ate a lot of pizza... about all Tomatoes' pizza had in common with the pizza I had in Italy was that it was thin. The toppings were alright, but nothing remarkable. The sauce didn't taste as fresh as they claim it is. But by far the worst part was the crust... authentic Italian pizza tends to be on the crispy side, but Tomatoes pizza was soggy. Every time I picked up a slice, it just kind of sadly folded by itself and was hard to eat. The really dumb way they cut it--in long rectangles instead of triangles--made it worse. I don't know if I just caught them on a bad day but this place just fell way short of the hype.

I've been going to the grocery store for years and walk past the door a LOT. Finally caved in and ordered a pizza before shopping. Picked it up and took it home. Why have I never been here before? Apparently I am VERY late to this game. I know there was one in Farmington Hills people go to for a lunch buffet, but that crispy crust and pizza is very good.
