Shield's Pizzeria

Too lazy to cook at home, so my wife and I came here on a quiet Wednesday night. We are new to the area so slowly trying to discover the hidden gems in the Shelby/Macomb area. The order of 8 wings was delicious, meaty wings in buffalo sauce. They were large wings and dipped in blue cheese, I could not have asked for better. The small meat lover's pizza was 4 heavenly slices of some of the best Detroit pizza I've had to date. I mean it was baked to perfection. Not too greasy. The toppings were flavorful and did not overpower the pizza with salt. The crust was fluffly on the inside, crispy with sharp corners on the outside.

Excellent pizza, very good wings, and good customer service. I highly recommend this Shield's. Who would have thought you could get some of the best Detroit pizza this far north from the city? Yum.

The pizza is sooo good at Shield's.  It's that awesome Detroit style deep dish with the crunchy corners filled with saucy cheesy deliciousness.  And it's not greasy, either.  The handtossed rounds are pretty good, but square is really the way to go.   The salads are always fresh and cold, but consist of iceberg lettuce rather than "fancier" romaines and such.  The garlic bread is great, too - seems like if you get a salad with your pizza you get free bread (maybe 2 pcs for a small salad, 3-4 for a medium?  I can't figure this special bread formula out).  And the beer is cold, and it seems like they have good beer specials.

Here's the thing:  you come here for the pizza, not for the service.  It's never awesome.  And it's a family place, so expect to see some sassy kids running around - eating at a table in the bar area is an easy remedy to that situation.

I've been eating here since I was a kid....and still the same good pizza I remember.  I ate there with my dad and now that he has passed I still eat here with great memories...a must have when I come back home!!!
