Reviews For Michael's Market

A very hip vibe for an old school style pizzeria. Came during brunch on a Sunday and nothing says brunch quite like 3 mimosas and live music. We ordered a good amount of food and enjoyed all of it. We were struggled on ordering because we wanted to try everything. Well, there’s always next time. All the plates came out beautifully and had a nice rustic style. The owner was very attentive and came by our table a few times to check on the food quality and exchange pleasantries. It’s nice to see owners personally involved with their businesses. End the meal with a slice of tiramisu and you will walk away a happier person.

Here on vacation and stopped in for lunch. The food was amazing! Easily in my top 5 best pizzias! If you are looking for a good wood fired pizzia, this is the place! Service was great as well! I will definitely return when back in the area.

Our experience here was absolutely amazing! When we first got there it seemed small, but the menu looked good, so we decided to try it. That was the best decision we could've made. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. The appetizers and dinner were spread out, which made it easier to enjoy all the food. The servers there are always so inviting and amazing. Both Ben and Mace are always so good to us and have treated us like family. The world needs more people like them! Overall, it was an amazing experience!

You just have to know that when you have a local Italian family. That's not only in the restaurant business but knows a lot about cooking that. You're gonna get some really fun and authentic food to go at the market and you do. Just go try and support a great new version of a local business. The sauces and the pizza are excellent.

Just an FYI, most of these negative reviews seem to be for Michael's main restaurant next door, not the cafe. Amazing sandwiches. Meat is sliced to order, dressing and bread are super fresh and the salads are amazing. Decent prices on homemade to go sauces as well. And don't sleep on the espresso!

First time visit to Michael's, my friend from Italy was leaving town, and it was recommended to stop by; I've been to Italy twice, and their pizzas are on another level. I tried one of their signature pizzas and was very impressed; I felt like I was back in Italy, presentation, taste; texture was perfect. I spoke with the chef and waiter and gave them my two thumbs up. if you can't make it to italy; it's the next best thing. You will not be disappointed.
