PizzaPapalis of Rivertown is a great place to go if you’re craving a hearty slice of pizza in Detroit. The restaurant is especially known for its Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, which is thick, cheesy, and very filling.
I ordered a deep-dish pizza, and it was loaded with cheese, sauce, and toppings. The crust was buttery and thick, almost like a pie, and every slice was packed with flavor. It’s definitely the kind of pizza that fills you up quickly.
The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, making it a good spot for a laid-back meal with friends or family. Overall, PizzaPapalis of Rivertown is a solid choice if you want a big, satisfying pizza in Detroit.

We had the deep dish veggie pizza. It was so good! The crust was flaky and crispy, the sauce was flavorful and the cheese was melty. We’ll definitely be going again. Make sure to order ahead of time since the pie needs about an hour to bake.

Food is excellent if you can get over the crabby lady taking your order and handing your food out. I’m willing to get over her, That’s how good the pizza is. We ordered a small between two people the meat lovers, and it was definitely enough to feed 4

Good pizza. Hospitable folk. Nice location and parking. Good price. But I don't like waiting 10 minutes on a slice if no one in line.

Ordered through DoorDash app for pick up. Upon arrival the host couldn't find my order. Waited about 5 minutes until she found it. I wish it would have stayed lost because it was old over fried or double friend wings. All 6 wings were like tough crackers.
