The veggie pizza was good. The ravioli we ordered wasn't good. It didn't have any taste to it and the cheese inside seemed like it was hard. If you want good ravioli the one in Barnellis/Portillos is the best! More

The pizza and calzone we ordered were both absolutely delicious. The service and atmosphere were excellent as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Mackinaw City! More

We were trying to decide on dinner, and decided on this place based on how friendly the staff was. We ordered a large pizza and spend about $25 for it carry out. It was okay, but nothing special. I like CostCo pizza a little bit more, and it's definitaley a better value. More

I understand you stopped based on how nice the staff was I was looking for a comment on that. I am sorry you found the pizza less then satisfactory. I wish you would have brought it back or called or something. I am wondering how long it took you to return to your room or where ever you were staying.... More

We just love this place! The food and the people are great! We have been coming there since 2008. We just wish that they would bring back the perfect pepperoni pizza. It was our favorite, and it was what kept bringing us back. Now the people and the othe pizzas bring us back. Our trip to the UP would not... More

I've eaten frequently at the Pizza Palace when in the city and would not think of eating elsewhere. Not only is the food delicious but the staff, from owners to cooks in the kitchen to waiters and waitresses, know how to treat their customers. Everyone is important to them. If you want good food and to be treated as someone... More

Gingerop, What a great review! I am pleased to know that you feel appreciated when you visit. I love that you included the staff in this review as they too are an important factor in making sure our customers are completely satisfied from the time they walk in the door. Too often we worry about the quality of the food... More

My wife and I recently took a summer trip up to Mackinaw City to check out the Straits area including Mackinac Island. This was by far our favorite dining stop. Pizza Palace represents one of those great mom and pop restaurants that takes a lot of pride not only in their product, but also in the way that they treat... More

You will find Dean in the dining room charming all the gals while Jeannie is taking to go orders and a multitude of other tasks. A lot of our food and sauces are made from old recipes right from scratch. It is... More

Well, everyone is raving about the pizza and we agree. It's the only place we eat pizza in Mackinaw. AND they have lots of other wonderful food as well, I absolutely adore the antipasto salad and sometimes drop in and take one home for dinner. The meatballs are also fabulous! So don't just stop for pizza. Best of all are... More

Arizona and Mackinaw City :) Hey, we hear from someone who lives here also. Thanks for mentioning the "OTHER" things on the menu. Sometimes people forget that we have a full menu. We really enjoy our local guests just as much as the visitors to Mackinaw. By the way, I love our huge salads too, but the antipasto is my... More

This place not only has outstanding pizza, but also the BEST Beer-Battered onion rings that I have ever had. The rings are made with a spiced dark beer batter.... DELISH!! I am eating at Pizza Palace the next time that I am in Mackinaw City for the Mackinaw Memorial Bridge race in May. Love this place!! More

Yes! We enjoy our fall customers. We have a little more time to spend getting to know who that customer really is and gain some good feed back on your response to our restaurant.
