Ace's Pizza
8.3
Ace's leans Detroit-style, serving thick, caramelized-corner squares with cup-and-char pepperoni and rich sauces in a compact space off Driggs. It’s not dollar-slice cheap, but hearty pans and shareable trays make it one of the better value plays for small groups craving something heavier than a standard New York slice.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pepperoni cup Detroit-style square, Vodka square slice, Cheese Sicilian square
Scores:
Value: 7.8
Service: 8
Consistency: 8.6
Food Quality: 8.9
Atmosphere: 6.7
Cultural Relevance: 8.2
What makes it special: Detroit-style squares with lacy, caramelized cheese edges in a casual slice-oriented setting.
Who should go: Friends splitting heavy, saucy pizza squares over drinks.
When to visit: Evenings before peak rush or later for post-bar carbs.
What to order: Pepperoni cup square, vodka square, plain cheese square.
Insider tip: If you’re sharing, mix a classic pepperoni square with a vodka or white square so each person gets a couple of different corner bites.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability and can be tough after 6pm on weekends.
Dress code: Casual — jeans, sneakers, and relaxed night-out outfits are standard.
Noise level: Moderate to loud — lively room where conversation is easy early, tougher at peak hours.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes during peak hours without a reservation
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or under 10 minutes
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese, white, and some veggie-forward squares are available.
Vegan options: Very limited — typically requires customization and skipping cheese.
Gluten-free options: No — Detroit-style dough is central to the menu with no gluten-free alternative.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you want casual and fun — it’s energetic, interactive for sharing squares, and low-pressure, but not intimate or quiet.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially on weekdays or early evenings, but peak weekend hours often mean a short wait.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for school-age kids who love pizza, but the tight space and louder vibe make it better for quick family stops than long sit-down meals with toddlers.
Best For
Better for: Thicker, richer, square-cut pizza with crispy cheese edges and heavy sauces that feel more filling than classic NY slices.
Skip if: You want thin-crust foldable slices, a quiet sit-down dinner, or strong vegan and gluten-free options.
