The best just got better
Detroit's award-winning PizzaPapalis has earned an
outstanding reputation for creating the deepest, deep-
dish pizza. Only the best ingredients go into each pie.
It's no wonder PizzaPapalis is rated a "10" by Detroit
Monthly, "Best Gourmet Pizza" in the city by Metro
Times, and now 5 stars for "excellent food" by the
Zagat Survey, NY!

make up the raw juice bar which people
enjoy seven days a week at all hours.
