Detroit Pizza Depot (Hollywood) — Restaurant in Los Angeles

My fiance and I were in Beverly Hills for the day. After a long day, we were really hungry and he was having a huge craving for pizza. We are from Los Angeles area but we didn't want to eat in Beverly Hills. We searched on Google for a pizza place that had great ratings. We wanted a place nearby and we had a few picked out. I chose this place because Detroit sounded different and I like the pictures of the pizza. On my way there, I saw they had wings which I also wanted but since it was a pizza place we got pizzas and end up getting so much more!

Service: I'm not sure if he was the owner but he was very kind and efficient. He told us that pizzas would take about 15 minutes to make. The place was decked out in orange and black I think to represent the Detroit Bengals. The atmosphere was really cool and sports like. He allowed us to grab the drinks which I recommend The Rock and rye. My fiance ended up liking the My Ginger drink which was surprising cuz he doesn't like Ginger

High note: when we walked in to the place, he seemed to notice or recognize that it was our first time there. He showed as how the 8x10 pizzas were made and how it was different from Chicago which was what I was familiar with. I love that he showed us how the pizzas came in like a steel like tray. Thank you for taking the time for hospitality.

I don't have a picture of the pizzas that we ordered. I got the Stafford and my fiance got the chicken and ranch one. I ate a slice of his first and I love that the hot sauce wasn't spicy but it had a lot of flavor. I highly recommend you take your time eating your first slice because it is fresh and hot! To prevent burning your mouth, Wait to eat. But it's very delicious especially after a long day spent outside.

We ordered the tiramisu afterwards and I ate it in the car on the ride home and I recommend it. It's so moist and delicious and has Oreos on top. I served my fiance a spoonful but I ate the rest for myself lol. Delicious and I like that it described the ingredients with their labeling.

Parking: was a factor in our decision to go there. Surprisingly they had a parking lot especially for an LA area. It can be crowded But we saw people parking there as we ate. There's also parking on the street which is what we...

Infinite stars if we’re being real! If you’ve ever stood on the corner of 8 Mile, stared down a winter storm like it owed you money, and whispered, “Damn, I could go for a slice,”—Detroit Pizza Depot in LA just answered your soul’s deepest craving.

This isn’t your average “Detroit-style” pizza knockoff. This is straight-up Motown magic, four-corner caramelized cheese glory, the kind of crust that crackles like a Tiger Stadium bat crack in July. It’s the real deal—flown-first-class-from-Woodward authenticity. You bite into that thick, golden crust and boom—you’re transported. Suddenly it smells like Vernors, sounds like J Dilla, and tastes like a Lions win on Thanksgiving (yes, a win—imagine the joy).

The pepperoni curls like it’s proud of itself. The sauce? Dropped on top, just like momma used to do back on the East Side, sweet and tangy with just enough attitude to let you know it’s been around. Cheese that pulls longer than a stretch of I-75. And don’t even get me started on their Classic DPD Supreme—it’s like a Coney dog and a soul ballad had a delicious baby and baked it into a corner.

And the vibe? Pure hybrid: Motor City heart with West Coast ease. It’s like someone took the spirit of Belle Isle and gave it palm trees. Friendly staff who greet you like a neighbor, not a customer. A menu that respects the grind. A taste that honors the 313.

So to anyone missing home, or just wanting to know what it’s like to take a bite out of Michigan without a flight—Detroit Pizza Depot is your new temple. This is for the real ones. The flannel-in-the-winter, Carhartt-in-the-summer, bass-thumping-through-the-speakers crowd. This is for us.

Detroit Pizza Depot: LA got lucky. The mitten came west, and it brought its...

I’ll start with this. The pizza is great, like super delicious. The gluten free crust is even crazy amazing. I just don’t understand how you can run a food business with no phone number, especially when you also don’t allow notes or special requests/allergy notes on the only delivery service you provide. People sometimes need to be able to get ahold of you, and quickly. I was trying to order online and needed assistance with something I’m sure they can do - just a simple question about an item that could be answered easily - but there’s not phone number just social media and an email- and I’m not waiting for someone to return my email. I mean I did email twice and it’s been a while with no response/ I’m tired and hungry and just want to complete my order. Also all the salads are missing from the online menu- so there were 2 other things I was going to order that I couldn’t, so the business loses that money. It’s a lose lose for everyone. I get that you want to make this as efficient for your staff as possible, but doing it in a way that really dehumanizes the whole experience ain’t it. A customer should be able to quickly call and ask a simple question, and deliberately not having a phone number where a human can be reached sends the message that you don’t want to actually talk to your customers and want to keep the customers at arms length. I’m not sure that’s the goal here as one of the owners seemed quite personable and helpful when I went in person. I know this is the common model now for a lot of places, but it doesn’t make it...
