We stopped in when visiting family in the area. Â The pizza was just so-so, but we received great service from our waitress, Anna. Â She bent over backwards to accommodate us for a birthday. Â I'm a fan of fresh mushrooms so we were disappointed with the canned mushrooms. Â It's quaint little place right on the main drag decorated with lighted grapes on wall and decor that feels like grandma's house.
Review Source:I guess when your options are as limited as they are in sorta-rural Gwinn, MI (population 2000), one can't complain TOO loudly about the quality of the food. I mean, one subpar pizza joint is better than NO pizza joint, right?
The last two times I visited family in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, we ordered pizzas from just-down-the-street Rodney's. And both times, we got pizzas weighed down by sheets of mozzarella cheese and sprinkled with canned mushrooms. Tasted fine, but not using fresh ingredients on a pizza is a sin that should warrant an automatic visit from Gordon Ramsay and his Kitchen Nightmares team. The pizza also featured half-inch layers of gooey cheese that so dominated the pie that I couldn't even taste the sauce or the the spongy crust underneath.
They also do a stale and rubbery garlic pizza bread-type thing that is essentially a thin pizza crust covered with mozzarella and peppered with dry oregano.
I guess if you're craving a pizza and can't make the drive to Marquette, Rodney's is a serviceable choice. Just don't expect anything on par with even Domino's or Pizza Hut.
