Tasty Rex

Tasty Rex is a modern pizza eatery tucked into the heart of Crystal Falls, Michigan, just steps from the historic Crystal Falls City Hall and the bustling downtown shopping district. Open daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, the restaurant welcomes locals and travelers with a warm, brick‑walled interior, open‑kitchen view, and casual family atmosphere. Chef Mike "Rex" Thompson crafts each pie using daily‑made dough, locally sourced cheese, and toppings that celebrate the Upper Peninsula. Signature creations include the Rex’s Classic Pepperoni, a crisp‑baked crust topped with spicy pepperoni and a blend of mozzarella and provolone; the Lake Superior Supreme, featuring smoked lake trout, caramelized onions, and fresh dill; and the Upper Peninsula BBQ Chicken, a sweet‑smoky blend of grilled chicken, BBQ sauce, and red onion. Prices range from $10 for a personal slice to $22 for a large specialty pizza, making it an affordable option for families and groups. The dining room combines reclaimed wood tables with soft lighting, creating a relaxed vibe perfect for after‑work meals or weekend gatherings. Free Wi‑Fi, a small selection of craft sodas, and a rotating seasonal menu keep guests coming back. Whether you’re a resident craving a familiar slice or a tourist exploring the scenic Upper Peninsula, Tasty Rex offers a tasty, convenient taste of local flavor.
