Licavoli's Market & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Grosse Pointe Woods

I have lived on the Eastside for most of my life, driving past this place for years without stepping foot inside. So upset I waited this long to discover this place! Licavoli's is a cute Italian market with some seating to eat inside. They have high quality products in the refrigerated section, including take and bake entrees, as well as a deli area where you can order a plethora of ready made food items, like pizza, Stromboli, pepperoni rolls, soup, subs, etc. Everything I have tried so far has been delicious. Based on how I like my pizza, their pizza might just be one of my favorites now. A thin crust, but not too thin, with amazing well balanced sauce, cooked to perfection. Last time we tried to order a pizza there was an almost 2 hour wait for one, so you know it's good when they have wait times like that. The take and bake entrees are fabulous. I love their palomino sauce. not too thick, but the right consistency packed with flavor. I thought I knew which palomino sauce around town was my favorite, until I gave theirs a whirl. Their lasagna was another meal we purchased which was delicious. A little too much red sauce, but it was easy to set some of it aside. The pepperoni rolls are delectable. the perfect amount of peps and cheese inside. they use a generous amount sesame seeds on their breads for pepperoni rolls and Stromboli's but they don't fall off and make a mess everywhere when eating and are toasted perfectly. They also get in cookies from Brooklyn, which I have also seen at other Italian Bakeries. I found some pistachio biscotti and it is literally to die for if you are a fan of pistachios. There are a variety of cookies to select from, but get there early so they don't sell out. The last item I have tried is the Italian Penicillin Soup. It's a chicken broth with the option to add noodles. They add these last when they pour your order so the pasta keeps its integrity. It is such a simple soup, but my gosh, it's delicious. PERFECT for a cold day. I'm a fan for life and will continue to give them my...

My best friend passed away unexpectedly and we had the celebration of her life planned for the weekend of July 4th. Our original catering option fell through so I was looking for another covid-conscious food option and decided on individual subs.

I heard about Licavoli’s from my dad - he’d driven by a few times, was curious and looked them up online to find many positive reviews.

I called an inquired about a large catering order for July 4th. The woman who answered was pleasant and helped me price everything out. I asked if the subs could be individually wrapped as we were being covid conscious and she said they could accommodate. I told her I’d call back to confirm the order as I had to double check with someone else who was helping me organize the celebration of my friends life.

As I was calling to double check I missed a call from the market. When I returned the call the woman I spoke to originally told me that she misspoke and they were actually closed for July 4th, but if I was still interested she’d have staff come in in the morning specifically to make my catering order.

Naturally because the subs are so good and because they were going the extra mile for me I went with Licavoli’s and I’m so glad I did. The subs were delicious and everyone enjoyed them. Can’t...

A friend recommended this place for some great pizza and thought I would try since I was in the area. I decided to order online and said it would be about 20 minutes. I got to the store a little early and decided to look around and it’s a cute little market. I ended up buying a few extra items to take with me as I waited for my pizza and Stromboli. I had to ask the young gentleman how much longer and he said to give him a second. He then proceeded to take a pizza off of the rack and throw it in the oven turn it around a few times stick it in the box and tell me my order was ready. Not knowing if it was Pizza that he stuck in or if it was somebody else’s needless to say I got back to the house and it was my Pizza that was in for a few seconds. I had asked for it to be well done so it would be extra crunchy and needless to say there was no crunch at all and there were barely any pepperonis on the pizza. So...
