Papa's Pizza

Papa's Pizza & BBQ has been a beloved fixture in the Metro Detroit community since 2000, when this family-owned restaurant first opened its doors with a simple philosophy: the hard way tastes better. Located at 1025 Middlebelt Road in Inkster, Michigan, this establishment has become synonymous with authentic, hand-crafted pizza and authentic low-and-slow smoked barbecue that keeps locals coming back year after year. The pizzas here are truly a labor of love—dough made fresh daily, hand-tossed by skilled workers, and blistered to perfection in a blazing oven. Signature pies like the Hot Honey Ricotta featuring pepperoni, crushed red pepper, ricotta flowers, and drizzled hot honey, or the BBQ Hawaiian "The Barbarian" loaded with ham, bacon, grilled chicken, and pineapple, showcase the creative spirit that defines the menu. The barbecue section is equally impressive, with St. Louis ribs rubbed, smoked for hours, and served fall-apart tender. Whether you order a full slab, half slab, or smoky rib tips, the meat practically melts in your mouth. The restaurant offers catering by the tray, perfect for graduations, game days, weddings, and job sites. With 17 locations across Metro Detroit, Papa's has become a regional institution. Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, this Inkster location serves the local community with the same dedication to quality that has defined the brand for over two decades.
