A few friends and I wanted to go out, and we had been to this Emmy Squared location before and had an amazing experience. This time we made a reservation because it was Valentine's night and when we arrived we were seated on-time. Everything that followed was less than satisfactory. 45 minutes after ordering, we were told our pizzas were on the way, but had not even received our appetizer. 20 minutes later, the appetizer arrived but no pizzas. The pizzas eventually arrived, and it was room temperature at best, it seemed that had been sitting for a while before being brought to the table. It did appear that the restaurant was short staffed and swamped with a flurry of walk in customers and take-out orders. No explanation for the delay or concern for our overall experience was given. I'm a pretty reasonable guy and understand places get busy, especially during a holiday, but no one seemed to care or have a sense of urgency about the situation. But a 10/10 on the Butternut Squash and Brussel Sprouts appetizer, make it a larger portion and serve it as a meal... it is delicious!

Came for my wife’s birthday with 13 people. Staff quickly accommodated us and were very good at dividing up bills for the various attendees. The pizza is always amazing and for those who had never been were singing their praises abt the pizza. This coupled with their “intrusive thought” old-fashioned made it a great choice! Easy, low-key, and great deep dish style pizza.

This was our first time to Emmy squared and we had a blast. Our server recommended the Colony, and we got a regular and split between two of us. Thoroughly enjoyed. Love the ezzo pepperoni, pickled Jalapeno and honey in this one. What a combo. Real Caesar salad with real anchovies in the dressing. We want to try the burger when we go back. Love the location. We ate right before a show at Petra’s.

Always enjoyed and a go to place for Detroit style pizza…usually go to the southend location. The service was excellent. She was attentive and responsive. The food is consistently good. The only reason for not giving the full stars is the pizza was cold. It seemed as if it was sitting for a while as the food pretty much all came at the time. Had salad and meatballs as well. Thx

Our party of 8 decided to try Emmy Squared before a concert and we all agreed it was excellent. We ordered two pizzas and a pasta dish plus share salads (Caesar) and an appetizer. Every morsel was delicious and the prices are reasonable. We will definitely return.
