    Food was very good and server was helpful and prompt. Only complaint was that food came out too fast - pizza came out 5 minutes after our apps, so sat and got cold. Felt perhaps that they were trying to rush us to turn our table over. Will come back and try it again.

    we arrived at 5:30 and our pizza was served at 7:00. My family ordered wood fire pizza and they were sadly disappointing. The gluten free pizza on the other had was very good but my pizza came long after my family was done eating.

    The food and service were great. The noise level is too high - wasn’t that bad until 5pm when they cranked up the music to ear-splitting volume. Seems like they’re “encouraging” patrons to leave so they can churn through more seatings.

    I met my friend from college for a drink and snack. The waitress was kind enough to find a bottle of Rose, which had recently been removed from the menu. I ordered the Detroit-style Rosemary and Potato pizza. For some reason, the fingerling potatoes are not sliced anymore, which was disappointing, but the flavors were still great.

    I liked that they had gluten free and vegan options. The gluten free crust was done well, although I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had. The flavor and quality of pizzas was good as well. There was a game room downstairs, which was a nice touch (although we did not go down there ourselves). The environment is best suited for casual and family outings. It was a bit noisy, and the tables very casual/cafeteria-esque. There was a cute outdoor fireplace and eating area which would make this a fun place to dine in the summer months!

    Our experience at Ghost Box Pizza was fine. The restaurant was empty (only one other table) but it still took the server quite a while to both greet us AND bring us our drinks. Our food; however, came out right away. The food was great but because of the initial tone and wait for the server, it didn't start on a good note and thus, impacted the overall experience.

The Buffalo chicken pizza rolls are delicious too! Everyone made us feel very welcome in spite of our advanced years and accommodating a rolling walker 🥴

    I like Ghost Box, but struggled this time with service. It just can't take that long to make a pizza...but I know everyone is have problems with staffing. As for value, their pricing is curious. They have a lunch special with a small pizza and beer for $15, but if you go to a 14 inch pizza with two toppings it bumps up to $24. (and no beer). That's too much. Advice: Stay with the lunch special.

    Not as good as Buddy’s in Detroit. Sauce is not baked into the crust. And way more expensive. The Ghost pig was VERY spicy and gave me a stomach ache, but my husband liked it. I recommend making a reservation on Friday nights. I saw people being turned away who didn’t have a reservation. Lots of families.

    Not as great as everybody says. The margs weren't very good. Pretty weak. The Detroit pizza is good but the wood-fired Margherita was boring. The service was subpar. We had to ask for things like water glasses and forks. Once was probably enough.

    Nice evening. Service was great! We were a little confused over the high cost of the salads, especially the $12 Caesar which was just romaine and Parmesan for the most part but it did not ruin our evening. Drinks and pizza were delicious

    Our experience was such a bummer! We showed up as the only people in the entire restaurant at 530pm and our food took so long to come out. The service was poor, the server had a weird attitude and there was zero communication as to why everything was so completely unorganized. At one point a pizza was dropped on the floor and they had to remake it, in addition to a pizza arriving as we were cashing out our checks. Two of the five pizzas ordered came out with WET dough, the consistency of a pancake. This was a surprise celebration dinner and it was such a bummer to have such a poor experience. Probably will not return, almost asked for a refund. Spent over $100 for uncooked pizza that we didn't get to eat at the restaurant. I never leave bad reviews as I have experience in the service industry and totally get it when things are hectic, but this just felt like no one cared.

    This pizza is just ok. Both the Detroit style and wood fired mediocre at best. The crust on the wood fired Cake—like. And the Detroit style, which is a little better overall, still needs work. Sauce a bit too acidic. 14$ old fashioned overpriced for a very average mix. Seek elsewhere, is my opinion.
