Coach's Pizzeria

When you've spent your entire life eating Chicago pizza, it's hard to find anything else that compares. No, that's not a "best in the world" brag; rather, just an observation that Chicago pizza is distinct in style, whether thin or thick, and doesn't seem to be found often outside the upper Midwest.

So, having said that for a little perspective, I'll rate Coach's as "OK". I like my crust thin and crispy, so Coach's is too thick and chewy for my taste. Toppings were a bit on the dry side, and the sauce was a bit scant. Definitely better than their predecessor, Harbor Pizzeria, though.

I'm a part-time resident of Freeland, so it's "in the neighborhood" when I'm in town. Coach's probably won't be a destination for me, but decent enough for a quick pizza fix when I don't want to go far.

Our pizzas looked burned and when I pointed this out to the cashier, she said she'd let the pizza makers know. Some excuse about the sauce being too close to the edge or something of that sort. Reality was that the cheese side of the pizza was black, the veggie side was not. The combo pizza had burned onions and crust. Overall, pretty nasty stuff and rather shocking that they didn't offer to fix it but made it sound like it met their standards.

Trust me, save your money and go elsewhere.

Friendly staff, Nice sports environment, Family friendly. I always enjoy going out to coaches. Great place to take visiting guests.
