Pizza Lovers say: "Detroit-style pizza with caramelized cheese crust, fantastic garlic butter sticks. Portions smaller than advertised, some pizzas too sweet."

    I wanted to love this place. Our daughter and son-in-law were very excited to have us try it. I ordered the "Flavor of the Month, Frito Bandito" tavern style (thin crust.) I didn't receive a pizza like the one they advertised. It was a "Frito" pie but check out my photo to see how many Fritos were actually on my pie. My son-in-law said I could always buy a bag of Fritos and add more but my gosh, I just paid $24 for a pizza and now I have to spend more money and go to the store to add a topping that I already paid for?? No thank you. It was a bit spicy, which I like, but it was that kind of spicy that gives you acid heartburn for a day or more. I ordered the Caesar salad and it was not great either. The dressing was bitter and didn't have much flavor. Even adding salt and pepper didn't improve it. On top of all this, it took a really long time to get our food and then, all of the pizzas were cold when they came to the table. Seriously??? Overall, I don't have any desire to go back. I'll stick to their sister restaurant, Cane Rosso, next door. Their food is top notch, crazy good.

    Perfectly done Detroit-style pizza. The dough, sauce, and toppings are all amazing. The pizza’s are perfectly cooked such that the crust has a layer of crispy, caramelized cheese. The Caesar salad is also a 10/10 — insanely delicious. They also offer a tavern style for those that prefer a thin crust.

    We got their version of a meatlovers pizza. I love the fresh basil and loaded suace but my family was impartial to it. I also got the Honey bastard pizza based on recommendations and it was too sweet for us. I wish it had more of a kick! Kids loved the arcade though! The holiday decor made for really cute photos!!

    The establishment was nice and clean. The staff were friendly and service was fast. Their prices seemed average for the area. Their portions were small in my opinion definitely considering they have the metal pans out to show size but the pie is much smaller than advertised. The pizza was good just wish the sauce packed more flavor. Overall if you love pizza give them a chance.

    Thunderbird pies is like a GenX time warp. The pizza is absolutely fantastic and the garlic butter sticks with marinara are perfect. It's some of the best pizza I've ever had and I've eaten deep dish in Chicago, New York Style, Detroit style and others. The crust is flavorful and the pie is rich in flavor. There are video games in the back and the music was fantastic. It was a great evening choice.
