Jerusalem Pizza

Love this pizza place! Always a go to place when driving through Detroit. Service is good and food is great. Very lively place

It’s my family’s favorite local restaurant! Perfect for vegetarians, with its 100% meat-​free menu, there is something for everyone! From vegan salads to gluten-​free pizza crust options, you can enjoy eating their delicious, health-​conscious cuisine!
Reasonable prices, fresh food, varied menu. Good for those dining alone, as a couple or a small group or family of 4 – 5. The limited eating space contains 2 tables for small groups & 3 tables that seat 2 people. The only drawback is the restroom is very small, yet clean, and hidden way back of the cooking/​prep area of the store.

I wanted to try something different. I got the falafel personal pan pizza. In addition, I added peppers and veggie chicken.
There were only a few tables so it’s best to get it to go. It is a little pricey

I went here the other day & right when I walked in, people just stared at me and gave me mean looks. I kinda just smiled and pretended like I did not notice. I felt uncomfortable and like I did not belong. Maybe this was because I’m not Jewish & was dressed differently than all of them.
Anyways, the food… I had a slice of their pizza and I wasn’t a fan of the taste. About a half hour later, I developed an upset stomach. A few other people I was with ate the pizza too & felt sick afterwords as well.

You have to try their Pizza calzone. That thing is a meal in itself. It’s about the size of a couple slices and filled with sauce, cheese, and vegetables.
Also, if you like trying new foods they have loads of varieties of pizza, way more than any other Kosher pizza place. So far I’v tried their Alaskan pizza, Mexican Pizza, and Hawaiian pizza. I think they have over 20 varieties…

For Kosher & Vegetarian it was pretty decent. Great flavors! I had a hankering for pizza one day while at work… I drove around in the bitter cold looking for a party store or something that offered pizza slices, and not knowing where to go in the surrounding area, I came upon Jerusalem… Did it kill my craving… No…hahaha…Why I stopped here… I’m not sure… but…in all honesty… I would go back in a heart beat.
Simply put… I like different… and Jerusalem was pleasantly different…
I had the Falaffel pizza and it was… pleasantly different…
People! Please, this is not what «Detroit» Pizza is all about… sheesh! (to the reviewer who was from another state and thought this is what represents Detroit pizza… IT IS NOT!!!)
BUT!!! It is good!
Raw, yet friendly service… definitely a niche market, but as they say…“When in Rome”
I say go… if this is up your alley (or in your needs)…You’re in good hands!
Shalom!

Jerusalem pizza is not your average pizza place. The entire menu is vegetarian and Kosher friendly. My vegetarian friend was happy to have an entire menu of options she could eat. We ordered two small pizzas to share: the potato and the falafel. We had a hard time picking as so many of the pizzas sounded interesting. Each one is a personal sized pie with four slices. There are only a couple of tables to eat at so plan on take out unless you are going at a non-​meal time of the day.
The falafel was different than I had expected. I was expected small falafel balls rather than the falafel spread across the pie. I thought it was good, but a bit dry. The potato pizza, with roasted potato, no sauce and rosemary, was wonderful. I would order it again, though, there we’re several others I would go back and try.
Besides pizza they have a variety of other items including calzones, sandwiches and bagels for breakfast.

Why does the community put up with this kind of place? While the pizza was decent, the salad was horrible. 10 dollars for some brown iceberg lettuce… We asked for some of the toppings on the side and got 4 chick peas, 5 pieces of an olive and some onions. They should be ashamed of themselves but will probably do nothing because there is no alternative. C’mon, we deserve much better.

Pretty good food. I was craving fish n chips, but they were like salmon croquets. Love the vegan options. Salad (Greek) was pretty cool. Nicely priced food for a family. The pie pizza is not like Chicago’s. We had a lot of expectations. But over all great people, great service, and good food. Glad we found them.

As a vegetarian, usually menus are very limiting. So I was super excited when I looked at this menu and I could pretty much eat EVERYTHING! They have fake pepperoni, chicken, sausage, etc. and it was soooo good and reasonably priced :)

So I admit I’m occasionally a closet vegetarian. This place makes me forget that I’m not eating meat when I get pizza! The BBQ «chicken» pizza tastes just like any meaty version, or maybe even better. I also tried the Thai pizza, and while I can appreciate what they were doing, and the flavors were good, I don’t think I’m ready for that food fusion just yet. Or maybe it’s because I’m pregnant, I think the thai food should be on rice noodles and not on my pizza. Regardless of my tastes, we had company that night for dinner and they enjoyed all the pizzas and were shocked that they were both meatless.
A friend of mine recommends the tuna salad there and the tomato soup as well, so those are next on my list. Once this pizza craving stops… in like 4 months, or so…

Fantastic pizza! They have creative and traditional options on their menu that are both delicious.
Thin crust pizza– not your typical NY pizza, but who cares we are in Detroit!
The cheese sticks are addicting.
I only wish they had a stuffed crust pizza choice on their menu.

Great service & the food is perfect 100% of the time! Every meal which is over at this point 40 meals, has always been delicious!

I am not Jewish so the food was just ok to me although the bagels are probably the best in town. The dine in area was cramp but the place is clean and the people are friendly, if I liked kosher food it would get higher stars

Jerusalem Pizza is possibly the most unique pizza place in the Detroit area. In my opinion, it is also one of the best. You have to go in with an open mind though, as it is a far cry from Detroit-​style pizza (or Chicago-​style, New York-​style, conventional, Etc)
This place caters to the dense population of Othodox Jews in the surrounding neighborhood. This strict religious group has unique dietary customs so for instance, no real meat is served here as it is not customary for meat and dairy (cheese) to be served together – not Kosher. Also, if you’re looking for a pizza on Friday night you’ll need to look elsewhere as Jerusalem is closed in observance of the Holy Sabbath. If you can deal with these eccentricities, great. If you yourself are an Orthodox (or otherwise devout) Jew, all the better.
I can’t get too carried away explaining the menu in detail as I honestly only ever get three things: Falafel Pizza, Jerusalem Bread, and bagels.
The Falafel Pizza is insane. It’s what keeps me coming back. You get your choice of traditional pizza sauce or tahini. Get the tahini. Take a bite and your life will be changed.
The Jerusalem Bread – yum – probably my favorite breadsticks from any pizza place ever. They are the perfect amount of «garlicky» and chewy kind of like a good bagel. Very addictive.
Speaking of good bagels… oh yeah… they serve bagels here every morning (except Saturday due to the Sabbath). GREAT bagels. I fancy myself a bagel connoisseur and these are in fact the best Bagels you’ll find in Detroit aside from New York Bagel in Ferndale. Once they switch into pizzeria mode at lunchtime they stop making bagels, but you can usually still grab a leftover bagel late in the day if so inclined (the flavors will just be picked over).
I strongly suggest checking this place out. Whether because you keep a Kosher diet, want to try some amazing vegetarian food, or simply want to try something unique and delicious. Just keep an open mind, be prepared to spend a bit more than you would at Little Caesar’s, and by all means DO try the falafel pizza.

I love this tiny pizza place. I prefer their vegetarian BBQ chicken pizza to anybody else’s non-​vegetarian version. the service isn’t the best but the pizza makes that easy to forget. definitely a hidden gem

I don’t know what my problem is… Everybody loves this crappy wheel except me. I know I am a picky /​crusty old foodie wannabe poser douche bag, etc etc… but hell man, this stuff is nasty. Just a basic large pep was a disaster. Maybe it’s because I am not Jewish or a vegan and I haven’t spent most of my life searching for half way edible food (?)
Don’t believe the hype… just foul.

One of the strangest (and most vegetarian friendly) pizza menus in all of metro Detroit. The biggest problem with this place? They observe Shabbat. That means no pizza on Friday night or Saturday. Nearly 6,000 years of incredibly strong religious traditions do not change the fact that those are prime pizza hours guys. Ah well, plan accordingly. –a very secular pizza lover

We heard Detroit is famous for pizza. Visiting from California we had great expectations… Boy! We were in for an extreme letdown!
We ordered a cheese pizza, well done — we got instead a doughy pizza not even cooked to perfection and no where close to crispy and just an oily mess. The Greek style was not bad but not memorable.
I guess the locals think its A + as there really isn’t anything around that they can go to instead. Even I can make a better pizza at home and ensure crispy pizza!
Ending verdict– the family left the pizza alone as they lost their appetite on the first slice.

Verbatim re-​enactment of the first time I checked out Jerusalem pizza many moons ago:
Me: falaffel on pizza?
Jerusalem pizza: yes it’s ground chick pea with…
Me: I know what falaffel is. You put it on pizza?
JP: yes.
Me: I love you.
About 628 visits later I’ve pretty much covered almost the whole menu and it’s all top notch. The kosher diet doesn’t allow meat and cheese on the same dish apparently (save your judgement of this for the talk section please…) but that doesn’t stop JP from whipping up one mean pie. Toppings include everything from peanut butter (Thai cashew pizza yes please) to fake Canadian bacon and back. All sorts of crazy specialty combos to choose from as well as some pretty standard hooks are available. Another fav of mine is the bread that is simply a pizza dough baked with herbs and crunchy kosher salt. Perfect. This place is worth the trip from any part of town.
