Reviews for Jolly Pumpkin Pizzeria & Brewery in Detroit, MI

As best I can tell, their pizza margherita is really just a cheese pizza with no sauce, It's mostly regular pizza cheese and a... regular pizza crust, with just a few blobs of fresh mozzarella here and there, a scanty amount of sun dried tomatoes, and somebasil. It would be better with a covering of fresh tomatoes, nothing but fresh mozzarella, and a thinner, crispier crust---asmost pizza margaherita is typically prepared. Very good hard cider and in-house brews. Friendly, helpful staff, but you're yourown waiter much of the time. Food prices are on the higher side, beer prices are typical for craft breweries. Atmosphere isnice, with lots of wood balancing the steel and concrete. Moderately noisy when crowded. Read more

Overall pretty good, can't go wrong with jolly pumpkin's beer it's fantastic if you don't like sours or general good flavor you... can always have north peak beers which are also on tap. Pizza was ok pretty good, went nice with the beer but not the best ever.The unique toppings/sauces were a good call. Kinda has a corporate vibe so you really don't feel like you're supporting a smallbusiness. The quality of the JP beer doesn't really match this vibe but hey, get that money. Obama ate here and theyimmortalized it and I think that is super cool. Next door is jack white the musicians third man records, where they press vinylrecords. 15 years ago this block was practically just traffic jam and snug and motor city brewery so it's really nice to see itdeveloped and looking vibrant. The place in the building where you remove the beer from your body has you redistribute it backinto a keg. Read more

This was our first visit here and loved the vibe and decor, from the large windows to the modern working man's Detroit bar. We... took a seat at the bar and ordered a few flights and were impressed by the variety and combination of ingredients in the beers.Jolly Pumpkin represents themselves well even if they don't have pumpkin beer all year around. Next time we will bring ourappetites. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to our return! Read more

It's incredibly hard to get Jolly Pumpkin beers out west. This is mostly due to distribution rights & contacts. We visited the... taproom in East Lansing. The place was packed but somehow, we managed to get a table. The beers were terrific. They specializein sours, wilds and saisons/farmhouses. Did was equally good. I'm assuming they usually are busy being as close as they are tothe university. Read more

Good pizza. Better beers! Friendly staff will find the perfect brew for you

Great place for Jolly Pumpkin Beers. Some of the best that Michigan has to offer. Bartenders know their stuff and are... friendly. Pizza is great. Read more

We had sandwiches and salads.(Didn't try the pizza, but it looked good). Everything we had was really good. The bartender was... working hard making sure everyone was taken care of. Nice selection of beers to suit everyone's taste. We'll be back! Read more

Jolly pumpkin is one of the few places I will go when I want high-quality American food. I love that they have multiple... locations in southeast Michigan too! Their truffle fries are so good :) Pros: great atmosphere, nice servers, quick service,the pizza and fries are great and there's a nice selection of beer Cons: no *real* cons! I really don't have anything tocomplain about with jolly pumpkin. However, the only reason why it doesn't have 5 stars is because, while everything tastesgood, it never goes beyond that for me.
