Old Style Pizza — Restaurant in Quincy Township

I recently visited the newly reimagined Butches Pizza, a spot that was once a cherished part of our community's culinary landscape. The new owners have unfortunately given this legendary pizza place a complete overhaul, and not for the better.

First off, the name change was the least of the issues. The real letdown was in the food itself. The garlic flavor has been reduced to an artificial spray, completely missing the mark on authenticity. The marinara sauce now tastes like it's straight out of a can, lacking the homemade touch we all loved.

The dough and cheese quality have also taken a hit; the crust no longer boasts that delightful slight char and crispiness that was a signature of the original. Instead, we're left with a less appealing, softer version. The change in the oven seems to be the culprit here, as it doesn't achieve the same cooking effect.

My recommendation to the new management is clear: revert to the old recipes and methods or this place might not see another six months. For now, I'll be seeking my pizza...

I'm not a local, but it's an okay pizza.

Huge focus on a huge amount of toppings over some things. The crust was great; it wasn't dense; it wasn't too light; crust, chewy, slightly buttery, however. The sauce made the crust soggy on the top. A bit too loose on the sauce -- not enough body on it, so it causes the huge amount of toppings and cheese to slide off sometimes. Sauce didn't tasty rich or full bodied; it felt more like a compliment to the crust than being pizza sauce. The toppings were flavorful. Cut very thin and small (maybe to prevent choking, or make it easier to swallow?), so it made it easier to chew and had a good mouth feel. Wasn't greasy at all, seriously. It was a bit costly, as both pizzas were $36.

TL;DR:

If you like a pizza with a huge amount of toppings, decent crust and is NOT greasy (thank goodness); come on down and try it, but note that it might cost you a bit on...

I was really excited to try this new pizza place since it took over from a spot that made an amazing pie. Sadly, the experience was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

The pizza was not good; lacking taste and character. The dough tasted like it was store-bought and frozen – no flavor, cardboard texture, and it was undercooked. The sauce was bland, and the cheese had this weird, fake taste.

We also ordered the garlic breadsticks, and they were just as bad - clearly frozen and lacking any kind of flavor. The Italian salad was the only thing edible in our order – small portion, but at least the veggies tasted fresh.

On top of the mediocre food, they charged a steep delivery fee and didn’t even include the extra sauces we paid for. Honestly, it’s not worth the price. The food is barely passable as pizza, and you’re better off looking...
