Pizza Transit

Great place, reminds me of my high school days in Ohio… A good hometown pizzeria! The kids that run the place couldn’t of been any nicer… You should be proud!

Nice little pizza company. Pretty good pizza, they deliver, affordable prices. Lots of cheese.

Love, love LOVE this place! Always something different with their Pizza of the Month. Spring and Asparagus pizza is a personal fav, but even their plain Cheese Pizza is to die for ;)

Called today during business hours to place a quick pick up order. They told me they were closed (but the posted hours said otherwise). When I told them I thought they were open until 9:00 she, extremely rudely told me they are trying to close up. Bad for business to close early, and bad for business to be rude to me when I inquire about their closing time. Next! Plenty of pizza places in town who want my money, clearly the owners don’t have people working there who take care of their business.

Great pizza. The name does not do the quality justice. Pizza Transit is not becoming of the quality. Terrible parking situation. Waited 1.5 hours for one large pizza.

The best pizza you will ever have! They specialize in simple, yet creative combinations that I’ve never seen anywhere else. It’s a perfect combination of innovation and accessibility. I can’t rate this place high enough.

Best pizza place ever. The calzones are outstanding and cheesy. The cheesy breadsticks with cheese sauce are good. The owner makes from scratch Alfredo sauce for pizza that is better than olive gardens dipping sauce. Everything tastes fresh. Staff is amazing. Food is amazing. Atmosphere is fun and nerdy and family friendly.

Good solid pizza! Crust was good — lots of toppings and lots and lots of cheese! Another plus — they delivered to the RV park where we stayed.

I have been making an extra effort to try new restaurants lately– I was VERY disappointed today!
There is little reason to go to downtown Niles, MI, but I drove out of my way to try Pizza Transit. I’ve heard it was good from a couple people, so I went there for dinner today.
It’s a large place in an old building with 20 foot ceilings. They have the most chaotic, mess of «decorations» tacked (as in «tacky») on every wall. Imagine a recycling truck filled with paper and bad art exploded inside and you have a good sense of the «décor».
Also, they have a boom-​box playing music that sounds as if one of the channels is not working. So you hear Gene Simmons of KISS singing acapella with only a bass drum accompaniment– irritating.
I ordered the Meatball Sub («sammich» for you regular readers) and I asked if it came with chips or anything. The waitress said «The sandwiches come with chips at lunch (and a lower price I’ll wager) but not at dinner». She told me I could PAY EXTRA and get a bag of chips. I got the chips. I asked for extra sauce, since that is from where most of the flavor of a meatball sammich emanates, I likes me extra sauce.
After 15 to 20 minutes my sammich was delivered. I opened it up and the meatballs were not even covered with sauce. It certainly was not even ADEQUATE sauce let alone EXTRA!
I asked the waitress for some on the side and she cheerfully brought more sauce. I put some on the sammich, bit in, and the sauce she brought was cold, not refrigerator cold, but cooler than room temperature.
The meatballs were small, little, dried-​up looking things with NO flavor. They certainly TASTED like frozen, delivered from a vendor, factory-​made meatballs. Maybe the owner can verify this.
The sauce tasted straight out of a can, a CHEAP can!
The mozzarella cheese was rubbery and flavorless.
When the waitress returned a couple minutes later and asked «How is everything tasting?», I couldn’t restrain my disdain, I said «It’s nothing special.»
Normally, if the waitress is nice and trying her best I don’t say anything negative to her, even concerning the taste of the food, over which she probably has no control. But I was SO DISAPOINTED with the food at Pizza Transit I had to tell the truth.
The sammich was edible, as in fit for human consumption, but that’s the best I can say about it.
I didn’t finish the whole sammich and left very unsatisfied with my dinner choice– I wish I would have taken the fast lane right past Pizza Transit.

Pizza Transit is hands down the best pizza in town! They always have a very unique pizza of the month. Everything is fresh & homemade. This is a long standing locally owned family business that has been passed down from father to daughter. Sarah has taken her father’s dream to a whole new level from the location with seating to eat in, the pizzas of the month and eclectic décor. The décor is fun and interesting. It is always fun to see what is new each time we visit. This is my favorite restaurant by far!

Best pizza ive had in Niles or anywhere in Michigan for that matter. The dinning area is super cool and its fun looking for little hidden jems.

Stopped in with some friends after a soccer game. Had some cheese sticks and the gyro pizza. Both were excellent! Would consider the 50 minute drive back to Niles just for this pizza! Only 1 thing would make it better… a cold beer!

Oh wow! This place is fantastic. We tried going there last Sunday but they didn’t open till 4pm. We went yesterday. Fairly small restuarant but very clean and nice atmosphere. They have thin, regular and thick crust. We got the regular, but I didn’t see much differance between the thin & thick. We ordered Italian sausage, black olive and fresh mushrooms. We got the x-​large. It was out of this world. Really good. Only $ 17. We will definitely be back.

I wish they would advertise more, because people need to know about this place.
The pizza reminds me of Noble Romans Pizza if you have ever had that. It is a great hand tossed, airy dough. The twisted breadsticks are a great side, it feels like a cross between a breadstick and pretzel covered with herb butter.

We drove up to Niles from South Bend for the Hunter Ice Festival and stopped in Pizza Transit for a late lunch.
They had been on our list to try for quite awhile simply based on all the great pizza pictures they post on their Facebook page. They offer some unique combinations as well as a pizza of the month.
We started with the cheesy breadsticks with their homemade marinara sauce. We could have easily eaten the entire order and had to force ourselves to stop and wait for our pizza to arrive. The breadsticks were cheesy, garlicky and baked perfectly. The marinara sauce was perfectly balanced and obviously homemade.
My husband and I split a two topping pizza since they were offering a special. The toppings were fresh and once again it was baked perfectly — we like our pizza a little well done and they did not disappoint. The crust was crisp and the cheese nicely browned. The crust was thicker than we typically like, but very flavorful. We can’t wait to try their wheat crust.
We recommend checking out this locally owned pizza place in downtown Niles. Although we did miss out on being able to have a beer with our pizza (no alcohol here).

I’d say this is the best pizza in Michiana. I’ve got both sides of my family who have been in the pizza business their entire lives so I grew up around pizza, and Pizza Transit pizza reminds me of my childhood. The fresh handmade dough is amazing, and they don’t skimp on the toppings. I hate nothing more than pizza places that don’t load up on the toppings. I mean you’re paying for them, so they better be on the pie!
Oh, and the buffalo cheesesticks are fantastic. With a good pizza I love buffalo wings and cheese bread, but often ordering all three is just too much. Pizza Transit has solved the problem by combining buffalo spice with cheese bread so that it’s all in one tasty bite.

I’ve LOVED pizza transit pizza for as long as I can remember. I used to save my allowance money to order pizza from there when my parents would go out at night and I didn’t want to eat what they had left for dinner! I think their’s was the first phone number I memorized.
There isn’t another pizza establishment around that even compares. Fresh, high quality ingredients, friendly staff, a pizza that is always perfectly cooked and arrives to you steaming hot, if it’s to your table in the restaurant or your door.
If you haven’t tried Pizza Transit, what are you waiting for? If you have, you know what I’m saying is the truth.

Other than a 3 year stint in Texas, I’ve spent 25+ years in Niles and I’m embarrassed to say I just had Pizza Transit for the first time a couple weeks ago. My wife and I were looking for dinner somewhere in town before seeing a movie and thought we’d give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised. We started with the buffalo cheesy bread. It was delicious! Just enough buffalo sauce to get great flavor but not so much that it blows out your pallet. I would have preferred more sauce but it was perfect for my wife. Next, my wife had the turkey sandwich (on bread they make in-​house!). Really good bread took this simple sandwich and made it something great. I had a medium The Ultimate pizza. It was very good as well. Fresh ingredients made this a great pizza. I love when I can actually taste each topping. The best part was I could only eat a couple slices and had it for two more meals!
All in all, we had a great first experience here. We actually have plans to meet friends there for dinner later this week!

This is TRULY at least ONE of the best pizza restaurants I’ve ever enjoyed anywhere. Truly FRESH ingredients and wonderfully imaginative recipes! Sure all the standards are there with the HIGHEST quality; pepperoni, mushroom, cheese, etc. Take for granted that those will rock you, but when you’re ready to do something different with your mouth, try Hummus pizza with green onion, fresh garlic and feta.
Or a baked potato pizza with (or without) bacon, onions, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and sour cream.
Rubin pizza.
Philly-​cheesesteak pizza.
Things-​you-​never-​imagined pizza.
Sarah B inherited the business from her dad 25 years into it’s existence. Each and every day since she’s created new culinary Joy in that kitchen. She dreams pizza in her sleep, and those dreams will awaken your mouth from the boredom of corporate culinary CRAP.
Pizza Transit will MOVE you!

I came to Niles on a trip back home — and until fairly recently, I never thought much of the dining choices here. A friend suggested we try Pizza Transit.
I’d never had Pizza Transit in its old location, and I was a little skeptical. But I’m glad we came (and supported a downtown restaurant.)
The service was quite attentive, the pizza came out fast, and it was delicious. I didn’t get anything fancy, though I’m told they have specials. Just mushroom and pepperoni.
Ingredients were fresh and the crust was good. Don’t mind recommending this to other people, for sure.
Down-​home type atmosphere, but that’s good when you’re talking Niles.
