Let me start by saying: Green Lantern Pizza in Madison Heights is the only pizza place I’ve dined in while visiting Michigan—and it absolutely does not disappoint.
The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. It feels like a sports bar, but without the rowdy, loud energy where someone gets too drunk and ruins the vibe. It’s family-oriented, relaxed, and a place where anyone can feel comfortable—something I really appreciate. Big-screen TVs are always playing sports, and as a Canadian, I was thrilled that both times I visited, the hockey game was on. That small detail made me feel right at home.
The seating booths are also worth mentioning—they're surprisingly roomy, and you never feel crammed in. Not bad at all for a medium-sized restaurant. It made the whole experience more relaxed and enjoyable.
Now, onto the food—because that’s why you’re reading this, right? I came in from Windsor with an open mind and didn’t want to compare Michigan pizza to what I'm used to back home. Truth is, they’re different experiences—and Michigan clearly knows how to do pizza right.
I tried the BBQ Chicken, Hawaiian, and Pepperoni. All were solid, but the BBQ Chicken (cut in that signature square style) stole the show. Even the small size is generous—perfect for one very hungry adult. The dough tastes fresh, the sauce is balanced just right, and the crust is soft and flavorful in every bite. I was skeptical at first, but I was happily proven wrong. The price is also quite good—not overly expensive or cheap, just the right amount for the quality and portion size you get.
Also, a shoutout to the staff—they're professional, friendly, and attentive. Even though it’s seat-yourself when you arrive, you’ll be greeted and served quickly—within 5 minutes in my experience—and they’ll make sure you leave full, happy, and satisfied.
I’ve been here at least three times now, and I’ll keep coming back—maybe even until the day a Canadian team finally wins the Stanley Cup!
Great job, Green Lantern. Five...
Read moreIt was recommended that I stop in here by a couple family members (one who lives in the area near here). I must say that if it were not mentioned to me, I probably would have driven by and not thought anything of it. Mostly because I am not in the area often, and also because this place mostly just looks like your typical local non descriptive local bar.
Upon entering you may notice that it seems, quite dark, maybe even a bit dingy. In my opinion, that is part of what initially drew me in, and made me want to sit down and give this place a try. The staff is friendly, and service is prompt. Once you settle in, you will see that in interior is clean, but also has a very "old timely" bar feel. Several of the booths that are available for you to sit at are raised up on to an elevated floor area of sorts, which was also a feature you don't find at many places, and that I also found to be quite neat and unique. With all of that being said, we definitely need to move on to what most of this entire review is based upon...
THE FOOD. Since this is a pizzeria of sorts (though it doesn't look like your average pizza joint) it very much is, and really what this place is known for. The pizza really is outstanding (I think I had the Hawaiian myself and maybe a slice or two of their Deluxe/Supreme). I don't really know what it is that makes their pies so delicious (I'm no Chef, I just have an affinity for good eats), but there really is something that sets them apart from other pizzas you may run across regularly.
If you're in the area, give these guys a try. Even if you're not, get someone who is, to go pick it up and get it to you and into your mouth as soon...
