Lake Superior Pizza Subs & Specialties — Restaurant in Marquette

NOTE: I normally don't dip below three stars on a rating unless I've had a drastically horrific experience, especially for a place I have truly enjoyed in the past, which is why I'll maintain this particular three-star review. I cannot, however, continue to respond to the edits the owner makes of their response to this review. I just don't have the bandwidth to do so.

HOWEVER, I will say that once upon a time I truly did enjoy LSP, and my rating was four stars. Perhaps they will get there again. Perhaps not. I won't be a customer with them any longer, so I will not have the capacity to adjust my review.

When I was enjoying it, my favorites were the Italian Chicken sandwich (on garlic bread with extra tomatoes, add mushrooms), the Chicago-style dog, the Dagwood sandwich, and the stromboli. My wife enjoys their pizza rolls.

As for my current and final review and star rating:

I was upset with my food. It wasn't the first time since the sale of LSP. I let them know. I then adjusted my Google review to three stars -- an adjustment I would make to any review based on my recent experiences. I was then accused of giving negative reviews out "everywhere" and, thus, I became more upset.

I did realize that I had overreacted and I did message -- not email -- an apology. I discovered shortly thereafter I was blocked from being able to message or comment on their FB page. That's their prerogative, and I can respect that. However, I find being blocked to be the ultimate snub from a business. I had believed they did not see my apology as their mention of it in yet another edit of the response to this review was the first time they acknowledged it.

It is my prerogative to leave a review, which I am.

In my opinion, this current operation (as of mid-2020) is a three-star review. So I'm going to put it at three based on my interaction with the owner and final two orders and I will not be amending it. I will not be visiting the establishment to make any further consideration. This is not a retaliatory review, but an honest assessment of my experience with the little shop on Lincoln.

I do wish them luck, and I hope LSP finds its footing and returns as one of the best little local joints around. That is my...

I will never spend another penny at this restaurant. I had ordered the family special which was advertised as $25 and a pizza roll for $3.50, my total should have been $28.50 or $30.21 after tax. I was charged $34.42 but did not want to cause a fuss at the restaurant. After I left I look at the charge on my debit card and I was charged $39.42 so I reached out to the owner to try and understand these charges. She told me I had left a $5 tip on my receipt, which I did not—an employee must have wrote this in after I left. Unless you want to be a victim of FRAUD do not eat here. I was never told why I was overcharged the other $4. The owner told me she would refund my card and she only refunded the $5 fraudulent tip!! Also the pizza is greasy and the toppings slide around when trying to transport it home, breadsticks are hard as a rock, cheese spread has zero flavor, and my salad came without the cucumbers I had paid for. Support different local businesses that actually...

LSP! I don't know if that is what the kids are calling it these days, but I wanted a bit of nostalgia during my recent trip to the UP.

The food is still just as good as I remember, although I didn't venture too far into the menu. Simply got two 6" pizza rolls, one cheese only and one with added pepperoni.

The dough remains cooked to perfection, slightly soft on the inside - so you won't need reconstructive surgery after eating these. The ratio of crust to toppings is fair, so you don't feel like you're eating a log of bread.

The stated time to make our order (35 minutes) was right on the money, as when we pulled up they were packaging our order.

I do hope they beef up their website a bit. They have a photo of a printed menu on their site, but I think the time has come where a multi-page PDF print of the menu from whatever program they use to design their menu would be much better for potential customers.

Well done as...
