Reservation not needed, but recommended if you dont like long wait time. It was our first time there and decided to wait for a table, although 45min wait time was given, we were seated in half that time. Atmosphere is great, the staff is kind and friendly, the manager was on it! Excellent service overall. Pizza, AMAZING! Mozz sticks, to melt for & the most delicious burger I've had in a very long time. Manager was kind enough to treat us to a dessert, and boy did that melt in my mouth. 10/10 highly recommend.
The repurposed Brightleaf tobacco warehouses are now home to a number of great restaurants. Emmy Squared Pizza sits right at the entrance to the courtyard. Their seasonal special, the Seoul Mate pizza, delivers layers of flavor with every bite—spicy, fresh, sweet, and savory all at once.
Ive eaten here more than several times, always take out because parking is hard to find. For 1 pizza and a salad is always $50. I get the large pizza to have leftover pizza. Tell me why I can count 20 pepperoni on the photo of the 'Roni Supreme', which is the smaller option they advertise. Yet I order the large Roni Supreme and there's only 18 pepperoni? That's basically the only thing on the pizza, some slices have literally 1 pepperoni on them. When they first opened everything was perfect, yet ive felt shorted the last 5 times ive ordered here. I usually get the ezzo pizza because of the toppings, yet knew i wasn't gonna get many pepperoni, therefore ordered the 'Roni Supreme', jokes on me I guess, cuz im Supremely disappointed.
I have never had Detroit-style pizza (to my recollection) outside of Emmy Squared, so I'm not sure how representative Emmy Squared is. I will say that I loved the seasonal Arc Angel pizza - the balance of ricotta and crust as well as the truffle cream was outstanding. I was less impressed with the other seasonal pizza called Seoul Mate, which felt like it had too much crust, but that could just be because I'm less into Detroit-style and it didn't have that ricotta to balance out the crust. I'll have to try another pizza and also a burger next time to round out my opinion. That said, I do love that they can be made gluten free for my family. The service is always fantastic.
My mother and I wandered in after doing a little shopping in bright leaf and left feeling very satisfied.The pizza was fantastic, the server was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with choosing our delicious pizza. The drink were very delicious too. We had the nonalcoholic beer and a few cocktails.And the Brussels sprouts salad was to die for! I definitely plan on going back soon!
