While Scott and I like pizza, we are not pizza connoisseurs. We’ll stop at Little Caesar’s for a $5 hot and ready and enjoy it. Our favorite pizza is from the local Cottage Inn on Saginaw. We love their thin crust! With that said, we enjoyed the pizza at Izzo’s.
The first visit was back in May. The bloggers along with Dan, Eric, Josh, and my mom made us a table of 10. Danielle called ahead to forewarn them. She also asked if she could bring a cake in (to celebrate Dan’s birthday), they said yes! We took up ½ of the pizzeria. We ate various pizzas, some ordered right from the menu and others picked the toppings they like. While it did take a bit of time before the pizzas came out, that is to be expected for a table of 10, it was a great night! Unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly what we ordered. But I do know it was good!
My second visit was about two weeks ago (late June). Two friends and I headed down to Izzo’s for lunch during the work week. We called ahead to place our orders (we each ordered a 14” pizza, not knowing that you could order slices of pizza, something to remember for the next visit) since we have an hour for lunch.
My pizza was a thin crust, loaded with good ingredients – cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms (they appeared to be fresh!), and great sauce. This is the type of pizza you fold to eat (it is not a crunchy thin crust). I ate three pieces at the restaurant. It was yummy! And, the leftovers held up well and tasted great the next day. The total for my pizza and soda, with tip, was $18.28.
We ate outside at their sidewalk tables. It was a nice day and sitting outside made the dining experience even better! To top it off, the service was amazing! You might think that sitting outside the service may be a bit slow, but our server was great. She came out a few times to check on us. It was a fun lunch!
If you are in the mood for yummy pizza, great service and a good time, I definitely recommend heading to Izzo’s!
