Michael's Pizza Watervliet Reviews
the Elvis caught me off-guard because there is nothing on the outside that warns you of the sheer amount of memorabilia, they also sell vernors-which is as far as I know-very rare outside of Michigan. I think they should extend their opening hours though.
Best garbage bread in America ! You want the best brick oven garbage bread or pizza def order from here. Wings are amazing as well. Long time me friend of there family and are amazing family with the best food.
Love Michael's. Haven't had their food in years. Went back and it was amazing. The garbage bread is so delicious. The best around for sure..the workers and owners are wonderful. Michael's still is one of the best places for comfort food. Thank you
This place is the best and only place to get garbage bread that I know of!!! Been going here for years never get tired of it. Keep it up guys. In fact we are going there today. Still today the garbage bread is the best
Best garbage bread hands down! Pizza and wings are great too. Every year I buy garbage breads for family parties and everyone raves about them. Simply the best!
Everyone talks about the wings but can we talk about the entrees too... the eggplant parm was fantastic (not deep-fried, very nice and delicate); great tomato sauce they have here too.
Best garbage bread and absolutely delicious marinara sauce. Love there food.
I work at Capital Cardiology we had the pleasure of having your garbage bread!! So good I can not say enough about this . Thank You Flo for thinking of us an for bring us the garbage bread so delicious !!!!! Thank You Char B
A phone friend told me about this place tried a large garbage bread for 20 bucks it was huge and heavy I had all I could do to carry it out to my car it will easily food a family of four better yet a great Super Bowl order
Best garbage bread around . Been going there for years. Best people ever. TAKE OUT CASH ONLY
Came to this spot because a friend recommended their Garbage Bread. We enjoyed very much, also purchased one for another family, who also said, it was great. I ordered again for December 23rd for a pick up of Garbage Bread for Xmas Eve. I love how they undercooked it and gave me a slip with directions how to heat it up when ready! We will definitely be loyal customers as we were pleased with great service and delicious food.
Stopped in quick to pick up wings that a friend ordered in advance. They were ready and were hot. The staff was very friendly and helped me carry to my car. Couldn't help but try one of them on the way home because they smelled so delicious they tasted even better.
I only have one small complaint, they don't deliver to Troy anymore, other than that I have NEVER had a bad experience with them food wise, cost wise, service wise or ELVIS wise! Family business, husband, wife & son plus counter help all very nice. Walt an Elvis and Michael's fan Troy, NY
I’m gonna start off by saying, I’ve lived in Watervliet for 26 years. Tonight I discovered Michael’s. One word… AMAZING. Their pizza, wings, and garbage bread are out of this world. There is no one in the area that can beat their food. Everything was super fresh, hot and delicious. This is the only pizza place we will be ordering from for now on. Super excited we discovered them.
The staff was 100% on point with our order and the wait was extremely short. They dont seem to do Sicilian pizza but the pizza was amazing. I asked for xx crispy wings and they were perfect! Not to mention the prices included tax on the menu so you knew exactly how much to pay. I gave them a tip for how awesome they were even though i picked the order up.
I ordered the Garbage bread....it was approx 12 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide and approximately 2 inches high. Mine was filled with pepperoni, peppers, mozzarella cheese and salami. I was disappointed in the salami part because it wasn't real Italian salami and it didn't have much taste to it. The Garbage bread overall was excellent in every way and the guy's were enjoyable to speak to. I'm giving 5 stars cause you won't be disappointed at all. The cost with tax included is a flat $14.00. Enjoy!!!
If you are looking for a good meal this is the place! Been ordering from Mike's for a looooooooong time. Never once been disappointed. It's kind of turned into our family treat when people come back to visit. In a time where everything is credit cards and ordering online, mikes is a refreshing thing. Food, customer service, there's just no bad that can be said about this place!!! You just can't go wrong here!!!!!

Got a pizza and garbage bread, pizza was good, garbage bread was HUGE. Also the only local place I've ever seen sell Vernors ginger ale. Pizza 4 stars, garbage bread 6 stars.

Staff was very friendly but I'm not gonna lie, it was probably the worst pizza I've ever had in my life. I've had better pizza from gas stations. Wings were OK at best. In a more constructive way, I would say they could benefit from changing their ingredients.. Using different sauce and adding more spices, and the crust was mushy. Switch it up completely and you might get more business.
Ordered a pizza with mushrooms, olives and meatballs. Being a full blooded Italian maybe I am hard to please but this pizza and chicken tenders only deserve a low rating. I am totally honest it wasn't worth the $28 dollars.
