First know that Big D’s is actually inside Alfonso’s… it’s not a storefront on its own. The Detroit style pizza was very good. If our food had been the pepperoni pizza only, this probably would be a four star review. The crust was crisp and blackened in spots. The pepperoni cups were curled on the edges and everything had really good flavor. What brings the review down was the sausage topping on our other pizza- it was a major let down, dry and bordering flavorless.

The dough was way undercooked and cheese was SO much that it wasn't melted and very few mushrooms were added. The ingredients tasted like an old refrigerator storing where flavors just don't mix. I am calling the Manager today when they open and letting them know that I want a $30 refund or credit. Will NEVER order this...
