Papas Pizza & BBQ Pontiac

Papa's Pizza & BBQ in Pontiac, Michigan has been serving the community since 2000, building a reputation for authentic, hand-crafted pizza and BBQ that keeps locals coming back. Every pie is hand-tossed and blistered in a blazing oven, loaded edge to edge with premium ingredients like their famous Hot Honey Ricotta featuring pepperoni, crushed red pepper, ricotta flowers, Parmesan, and drizzled hot honey. The BBQ menu showcases St. Louis ribs rubbed and smoked low and slow for hours until they fall apart effortlessly. Try the BBQ Hawaiian "The Barbarian" with ham, bacon, grilled chicken, pineapple, and tangy BBQ sauce, or go all-out with the Meat Lovers piled high with pepperoni, ham, bacon, Italian sausage, and hamburger. Located at 655 Joslyn Ave in downtown Pontiac, this family-owned establishment embodies the philosophy that the hard way simply tastes better—no shortcuts, no par-baked crusts, no boiled ribs. The restaurant offers catering by the tray perfect for graduations, game days, and weddings, with pricing that makes feeding a crowd affordable. With 17 locations across Metro Detroit, Papa's has become a beloved institution. Online ordering available for pickup and delivery. Follow them on Instagram @papaspizza for daily inspiration.
