Howell's Mainstreet Winery — Attraction in Howell

11/2/23

Well I decided to drive here (just over an hour one way) based on a great recommendation from someone I know and let me say this: I'M GRATEFUL!! This was a special treat that I will not ever forget. I absolutely LOVED the ambience of this building and I can not possibly say enough about the AMAZINGLY friendly & helpful staff. I ordered one of their Homemade pizzas, the "Gotti" and, up until today, have always said that the best pizza that I've ever had was from a place up in Manitowoc Wisconsin. Now I think I must say that this is the best ever, or at least VERY close to it. I sampled several (4 actually) of their wines and brought home a mixed case of my three favorite selections and picked up some nice wine glasses as well. I then called the friend, who recommended that I try this fabulous place and brought home three more bottles of his preference as well. I was fortunate enough to meet one of the owners, Sandy, who was extremely kind and welcoming. If you ever anywhere near Howell Michigan with your significant other (or alone even), you just have to make a pit stop here. For those who are just traveling or on a road trip, you need to make this venue a MUST STOP on your itinerary. This is an adult oriented establishment, but there is absolutely tables and room to bring the younger members of the family for the AMAZING pizza 🍕. They have beverages for the kids as well. I can't say enough about this place so simply, COME and ENJOY it for yourself. They are Handicap accessible and have street parking...

This establishment only has a walkup window at the moment, as their interior facility will remain closed until they can offer full service again. Hence, I can only comment on their abbreviated service, which is all that is available right now.

I went there the other day to pick up a pizza for lunch while at my son's house helping him get settled. The menu offered wine, pizza, appetizers and salads. Pizza worked OK for us. I decided to try the Gotti pizza with a side order of breadsticks. The Gotti is basically a carnivore's delight with pepperoni, sausage, ham and bacon as the toppings. It was very good and not a bad value at $18.99 (they offered just one size...16"). The breadsticks were unusual, as they were, as the proprietor described it, a whole pizza's worth of dough rolled up into balls. They were really bread balls rather than breadsticks. But they were excellent as the marinara dipping sauce was superb. These were definitely worth the $6.99 I paid.

The people with whom I dealt were exceptionally pleasant. I will note that they do have outdoor seating available for those interested in eating before they walk away. I am looking forward to seeing the interior of this business when they reopen for...

This is the place!

We have never been to a warmer and more welcoming “Mom and Pop shop” than Main Street Winery. The food is amazing (try the Winerita pizza…You’re welcome), the staff is attentive and always so inviting, and not to mention, the wine selection is as delicious as it is refreshing. With new seasons come new seasonal wines that have become staples throughout Howell. Our home included!

Whether you’re looking for an authentic Italian pizza to fill your belly while you take in the historic downtown Howell atmosphere or you’re looking for an intimate but lively spot to spend a Friday evening and sip from an amazing homemade wine collection, Main Street is your place.

If you don’t believe me, drop in and see for yourself. They even have some select beers on tap from local breweries like Aberrant Ales. You should stop by there, too. Clarke and his merry minions are...
