Year after year, we make it a point to stop in for pizza. The staff was also very accommodating and great to work with when we had a large group of teens with us. Highly recommended!

The veggie pizza was good. The ravioli we ordered wasn't good. It didn't have any taste to it and the cheese inside seemed like it was hard. If you want good ravioli the one in Barnellis/Portillos is the best!

We were trying to decide on dinner, and decided on this place based on how friendly the staff was. We ordered a large pizza and spend about $25 for it carry out. It was okay, but nothing special. I like CostCo pizza a little bit more, and it's definitaley a better value.

I understand you stopped based on how nice the staff was I was looking for a comment on that. I am sorry you found the pizza less then satisfactory. I wish you would have brought it back or called or something. I am wondering how long it took you to return to your room or where ever you were staying.... More

We just love this place! The food and the people are great! We have been coming there since 2008. We just wish that they would bring back the perfect pepperoni pizza. It was our favorite, and it was what kept bringing us back. Now the people and the othe pizzas bring us back. Our trip to the UP would not... More

I've eaten frequently at the Pizza Palace when in the city and would not think of eating elsewhere. Not only is the food delicious but the staff, from owners to cooks in the kitchen to waiters and waitresses, know how to treat their customers. Everyone is important to them. If you want good food and to be treated as someone... More

My wife and I recently took a summer trip up to Mackinaw City to check out the Straits area including Mackinac Island. This was by far our favorite dining stop.

Well, everyone is raving about the pizza and we agree. It's the only place we eat pizza in Mackinaw. AND they have lots of other wonderful food as well, I absolutely adore the antipasto salad and sometimes drop in and take one home for dinner. The meatballs are also fabulous! So don't just stop for pizza. Best of all are... More

Arizona and Mackinaw City :) Hey, we hear from someone who lives here also. Thanks for mentioning the "OTHER" things on the menu. Sometimes people forget that we have a full menu. We really enjoy our local guests just as much as the visitors to Mackinaw. By the way, I love our huge salads too, but the antipasto is my... More
