Detroit Beach Pizzeria — Restaurant in Frenchtown Charter Township

Mind blowing explosion of flavor old school since 1964, now the 3rd generation family owned Naples Italy Italian restaurant. The pizzeria was founded by Pete Conte, an Italian immigrant who once escaped a WWII German war camp by befriending a donkey and riding it out of the camp under its belly! He passed away in 2011, but that unsuspecting charm lives on in the dying art performed at Detroit Beach Pizzeria. An old school interior straight outta 1960s along with Mary 🙂 makes you feel like eating in grandma's kitchen. Totally blown away by the whole experience, reminds me of Vince's Pizzeria in Sw Detroit I grew up on. Meat Lovers Pizza 🍕 marvelous 😋 perfection OMG taking me back to my childhood. We started with a Bowl of Pasta Fagioli spot on wonderful 😊, with hot bread and Breadsticks. Best ever Eaten Gnocchi in Garlic Butter and WOWED 😋, a explosion of flavor in each bite. I added Italian Sausage and Meatballs for another level of perfection. I ordered the casserole which Feed 2 plus, me Loved the leftovers the next day. Mary excited us with her childhood treat of a special Dessert they were selling. Sfogliatella, sometimes also known as a lobstertail, is a shell-shaped pastry with a sweet or creamy filling, originating in the Campania region of Italy. Sfogliatella means 'small, thin leaf/layer', as the pastry's texture resembles stacked leaves. Most definitely unique crunchy yummy Classic Italian Dessert Yummy 😄. #detroitbeachpizzaria @detroitbeachpizzeria #oldschoolcool #pizzaria #meatloverspizza #pastafagioli #gnocchi #sfogliatella...

December 23rd, 2023. Ordered Veal Parm., Veal scallopini, both with Spaghetti. 1 salad, 1 soup, came with bread....and a personal pizza just to try. Been in town for almost 2 years and had to try this place. 1st, the veal scallopini. Please Google a pic of what its supposed to look like, then picture the opposite. Sauce was dark, no sign of a lemon, and the taste was downright bad, as wife and I looked at each other in disbelief. That was the end of that. Next, the Veal Parm. Thought it was a normal Veal Parm, until I noticed the generous layer of mushrooms under the cheese. Never had mushrooms that came with a Veal Parm. I hate mushrooms. Sauce was fair. The actual veal was quite tender and not bad. The spaghetti was overcooked, and quite mushy. The bread was great. Lost my appetite and never got to the soup. The pizza was fair at best. I need to mention that I'm spoiled eating Northeast Pizza and homecooked Italian dishes most of my life, however, my honest expectations were never up to that level. The waitress was nice. The atmosphere matches everyone elses review. My wife and I really wanted to enjoy our meal, but we were dissappointed. I am respectful to others that like this place, but it wasn't...

This place ain't bad. It's been here for a very long time and was somewhat of a childhood memory coming here. Actually, last July was the first time I'd been since I was a child.

The food is okay. Definitely worth the price. I like the fact that they have a spaghetti and ravioli combo. Not many Italian places do. One thing that I will say is that they don't hold back on the garlic in their sauce. In fact, aside from the overpowering garlic flavor, it's relatively bland. It isn't the highest quality either. But like I said, definitely worth the price. I also like the fact they bring out bread.

The atmosphere feels kind of like an old Italian restaurant, which I guess it kind of is. With that said, it's been quite a while since they've remodeled. It kind of adds to its charm though.

Overall, the food is garlicky and not the highest quality. The building is nothing fancy either. But the place is an old-school gem that's definitely worth the price and...
