Pizza by Mr. Scrib's — Restaurant in Egelston Township

I always read reviews before I post. Human nature interests me, and I love reading others' opinions. So here's my comments on others' reviews, and here is my review.

I travel a lot. 300-500 miles a day, sometimes further and sometimes multiple states. I have this weird addiction to trying different Taco Bell locations and trying random slices of pizza from random places and even pizza chains because I'm curious how different places can make pizza taste in different ways. Even breakfast pizza.

What I want to say is for those complaining about how the pizza has changed over the years.... For starters our taste buds can change every 7 years. Second, things just change in general. It's a natural part of life. Nothing stays the same. Human nature is to reject change, so think about your opinion and other factors before being so negative. These people work hard, and sometimes things aren't exact, but to say something along the lines of, "it's been great until this one time. So I won't be back." You're only hurting yourself by missing out on this incredibly delicious pizza. Try to remember other good times, don't hate something or someone for a single mistake. Besides, mistakes are how we grow. Feedback is great, but also, in reality, you're a single customer. You're not going to break their bank.

My review;

This is absolutely the best pizza I've ever had. I remember it tasting exactly this way every time my parents would buy it when I was a kid. This was a very joyous moment in our household because I grew up poor, and the price of this pizza is definitely worth every penny. So when we got Mr. Scrib's pizza, it was like a holiday.

I moved out to Grand Rapids years ago, and I have tried damn near every pizza joint out here... people rave over Fricano's, Vito's pizza, and a few others, but imo they taste like generic pizza. I literally miss Mr. Scrib's pizza every time I try a slice from a different place.

From Muskegon to Chicago to Pennsylvania, to Washington DC, I'm telling you from experience, there is not a better tasting pizza than Mr. Scrib's. You literally cannot see the map of Michigan from all my pinged locations in Michigan alone on Google maps.

The crust has crispy edges, yet soft to chew. The cheese is just right and even sometimes crispy on the edges as well. The combination of how the flavors meld together is literally perfect. And what I find to be the best part is that when you add toppings, they aren't skimpy. They actually add toppings to the pizza. All the other places charge the same price for toppings, but you get very few added ingredients for the price.

As for the price, these pizzas could sell for a lot more than $20 for a large 1 topping. I'm very tight with my money but if Mr. Scrib's had a location in Grand Rapids. I'd part ways with $30 or more every Friday.

I usually buy a pizza to give away to a random homeless person once a week, (It's my way of tithing). That being said, if Mr. Scrib's was in Grand Rapids, you'd definitely be my guy! So you should think about a location out this way! But stay away from alpine, that street is a busy mess.

I want to say Thank You, Mr. Scrib's, for being part of the good memories from my childhood and making such a wonderful pizza. I appreciate you and all of your employees and all of their hard work.

Your crust may be thin, but YOU rise...

THIS SCORE IS FOR TONIGHT'S ORDER ONLY:

Mr. Scrib's pizza is the first pizza place I remember being in Muskegon, and the first pizza I remember eating... EVER. So, not only do I love the taste (usually), it holds a very special place in my heart. Tonight, though, it was rather disappointing. It was very dry (even for my husband, who orders light sauce and light cheese from every other pizza place but here) and quite tough. Plus, one side was burned, making 3 or 4 slices inedible.

Nobody's perfect. Everybody makes mistakes now and then. This certainly isn't going to turn me off their pizza, that's for sure, but tonight was simply not up to their usual standards.

P.S. Tonight I saw another review that complained about the breadsticks with cheese. A few weeks ago, I ordered the 'crusty bread' for the first time, and what we recieved was not what we expected. We thought it would be something like pizza crust sprinkled with parmesan cheese, cut into sticks (or something like that). We were sent breadsticks filled with cheese (which, incidentally, were WAY underbaked and doughy), just like the ones in the picture that reviewer posted. At the time, we figured were simply mistaken in what we expected we'd get. Now, it would seem that we weren't mistaken after all, and that we were sent the wrong item. Maybe we'll have to try ordering the crusty bread...

I live in Tennessee but grew up here in muskegon, I came home for our family reunion and I always take pizzas with the crust part baked and then they add the toppings and freeze them so I can take them back with me and give them to my kids, it's the highlight of .y visits every year. Last week I got home on a monday and remembered that they were closed on mondays but the wolf lake store was open so happy me took my wife and we had a pizza and usual tasted great and the owner was very personable so I thought I would reward that store by giving them my take home business, around $100 worth, so I called them and told them my order and that I wanted them frozen for the trip when I get there they were half cooked and still cooking as they were hot never even touched the freezer, when I went and paid for them i felt them and they were warm, the lady told me i had to call a day ahead to get them frozen, I have never called a day ahead and they were not suppose to cook the toppings, it almost ruined my whole vacation with just this one thing, so I basically paid $100 for pizza to warm up such a waste and I will never go back to this location and recommend my family and all my muskegon friends to never visit...
