Tasty pizza! Much better than the chain pizza places!
Ordered the manicotti (to go). I got the combo (one meat and one cheese) it’s AMAZING! And it comes with a HUGE piece of bread. I added cheese to the bread, which is a definite MUST, they do not skimp on the cheese. I don’t often leave reviews, but I am so impressed that I just had to! 🤤
I had a lunch portion (its large) of spaghetti w/meatballs, fabulous Italian flavor not too spicy and came out hot. Starter salad w housemade Italian dressing - crisp cool greens. Service was friendly, helpful and spot on. I would drive out of my way to eat here. Looks like they have a popular take out side as well.
My whole family loves Carmelo’s. We probably order 3-4 times per month. It’s our weekend go to. It is less for us to eat an incredible meal at Carmelo’s VS a meal at a mediocre fast food restaurant.
The food is always super delicious. They have a wide variety of items on their menu that meet everyones tastes. The service was really fast and our waitress was very friendly. Their pizza is amazing.
Not worth the money. There is better in the area.
Nope, not doing it again. Service is always extremely slow for some reason or another the waitress gives us. Tonight after 40 minutes of waiting they brought the wrong pizza. When we brought it to the it attention (mind you still no plates to eat it on) we were posed the question what would you like us to do?. Really?? 20 minutes later had the right pizza but never saw the waitress again until the check. So we had to ask for a box. Over 1 1/2 hours for pizza and a beer. Well at least we received compensation right? BIG FAT NOPE. Guess customer service isnt part of this restaurants culture. Never again.
Oh Carmelos... after reading the reviews and looking at pictures of what appeared to be an amazing pizza, I decided to try them.Sadly, this pizza was anything but amazing. It was not the worst pizza I have ever eaten, but not the best by far. And trust me, I have devoured a great many number of pizzas around the area.I picked up the pizza right as they were finishing making it, but by the time I got it home (which was no more than 7-10 minutes later) the pizza was cold!As far as the taste... there was not much. I dont know if they messed up my order, but there was not much sauce on the pizza. What sauce there was had very little taste and the dough seemed a bit old. The only thing that sort of saved this pizza is that they do put on a fair amount of toppings (I had pepperoni, italian sausage, and bacon).I also ordered their breadsticks. Honestly, I could care less if I ever ordered them again. They are supposed to have garlic topped with a cheese blend. Again, the dough tasted old and there just was not much flavor. There was perhaps a trace amount of garlic at best and the cheese was bland. On top of that, the breadsticks were cold as well.Maybe I went on a bad day. Perhaps if I tried them again I would get a different result. But unfortunately, first impressions usually determine if I return. I give every place I review a fair shake and will not lie about my experiences. I hope that other customers have better experiences than I did.
New to Caledonia area and finally managed to get to Carmelos after many people recommended it. Wow- first pizza was great. Nice small restaurant are is clean and people are very polite. We went back later that week to try the wet burritos. Excellent!This is our new place to go for quick dine in, pick up and delivery.
Great, child friendly service! Food was delicious. Incredible prices and portions.Word of warning.. The meatballs are HUGE!Lunch portion of spaghettis fed 2!! $5.99 . Tasty garlic toast too!
I certainly was not a valued customer. And will resolve this by not being a customer anymore.Its the best pizza Ive had outside of NY so Ill give 2 stars. But, it took over an hour for them to even start to put it in the oven!! 1.5 hours wait. Thanks, but no thanks. Its not 1.5 hours good.Once repeat customers, NOT repeating anymore.
Very good local pizza. Crust and sauce are great, they use a high quality cheese. Go there often and feed the belly. Subs are very good too. Dine in for a nice dinner where you can hear your companions talk.
We had a buy one get one free coupon so we decided to check this place out. Most everything they make is their own recipe. My husband had the seafood ravioli and I had the lasagna. The lasagna was definitely one of the best I have ever had at any restaurant and he loved the seafood ravioli! We had mini canolis for dessert and they were excellent. I have no doubt that we would probably like just about anything there. They have pizza, wings, wet burritos, lots of good food and the service was excellent!
Best slice pizza in Dutton
The moment I entered the door, I knew that Carmelos has not changed! The aroma of great food is unmistakable and the consistency of The Sandwich is unmatched! Great food, keep up the good works!
House italian sausage is amazing in either a sandwich or on a pizza. Our favorite local pizza place.
My co-workers just kept telling me that I need to go there, I have had food from there at work before and loved it. I took my wife there last night and she loved it too, she said the pizza sauce closely resembled New York pizza sauce. We will be back!
Great tasting pizza! Have quite the extensive menu: baked subs, lasagna, strombolis, American & Mexican fare, as well as Italian walk up area, for to go orders, as well as a restaurant area for sit down meals. Dont let the small size of the restaurant fool you! Will go again! 😀
A nice little local restaurant to get delicious pizza, among other good food.The prices are fair and the pizza I had, BBQ, was very good. They have a few other pizzas you can try, also, and the size is very fair.Would highly recommend this place if stopping by in Caledonia.
Food was mediocre at best. Gnats flying all over our food. Took 30 minutes to get our appetizer, there was only us and another elderly couple.. whom they ripped off. The elderly couple had a coupon for buy 1 get 1, and they wouldnt accept it. The elderly womans response was i dont know if we have enough then. They ended up taking everything she had. We ordered taco pizza they charged us for sour cream, and the beans. They also charged us for ranch for our cheese stick app. The place tryst to give the allure of fine Italian dining but the food and service remind you of a biker bar. For Christ sakes we waited for ten minutes or more just for ranch and sour cream and there was only one other table! What a joke. Wont be going back.
Amazing homemade food at a reasonable price. All sauces are made in-house (alfredo, pizza, spaghetti, burrito, hot sauce) and are excellent. It is family-owned by some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Did I mention the homemade sausage? Its like halloween candy for adults!
I told the staff the other day that they are my cooks when my wife travels. I bet we get Carmelos at least once a week. Pizza, pasta and subs are terrific. Mamas bread with garlic butter is awesome.
Called them from outside the building at 10:30pm on a Saturday because the door was locked, even though the sign clearly says they are open until 11pm (and the open light was on) and the kid inside just looked at the ringing phone and my dad telling him to answer the phone. Then he walked out of sight and continued to ignore the call. Ridiculous. Id love to say the food was good, but I guess Ill never know.
Best Italian food that i ever had, thank you Carmelo for the great experience ..I cant wait to be back to Caledonia and come to your wonderful place for another good meal
Best little down home pizza/Italian restaurant in Kentwood! Was not expecting this level of quality from a quiet little hole-in the-wall Italian restaurant! Carmelos does NOT skimp on the toppings and their breadsticks are cheesy bliss! If youre still hungry afterwards get a taste of their fantastic Cannolis! These cannolis will make your teeth rattle with delight!
There is SOO much good food here its hard to pick a favorite!! Not just pizza either! All homemade Sicilian family recipes. Everything from homemade manicotti, lasagna, pizza, subs; plus all of the sauces are homemade, including the sausage, taco meat, chicken and meatballs!! The owners are born and raised in Sicily, Italy and since its their family that works there, you can expect to be treated just like family! The dining room is elegant, great for parties, and they serve beer and wine by the bottles. You wont regret coming here, ordering take out, or getting delivery. Try it out and youll see!
The absolute best pizza in town. Its been a while since I went there, now I wonder why. I will be back soon my friend.
Ordered a simple cheese pizza and I got a pizza with bacon on it, paid for it over the phone. Cant eat Bacon due to religious reasons so there is no reason why I would ever order that. They did not want to remake my pizza for me, definitely will NEVER go back here again, nor will family/friends.
Friendly staff. Pizza was undercooked and wasnt worth the extra wait.
Great pizza. We were from out of town and so glad we found this place. It smelled like Italian food when you walked in.
Delivery fee says it all. Overrated, underserved.
The pizza is great, and I recommend the Carmelos special. Real slices of tomato and sausage that is the best that I have ever had. I always order it, and guests at our table always love it. Also the pasta with the sausage pasta sauce is wonderful. I understand that it is home made. Carmelo and his wife are from Sicily so the pizza is authentic. I only order pizza from Carmelos. Oh, and brock liby is a fake. I looked into the poster as it did not look legit about this place. brock liby has never reviewed more likely a bunch of teens getting a good prank on.
Work is put into food preparation and the food is high quality. But,,,,,,, Italians are known for healthy portions,, this is obviously is misconception because the menu failed to mention the Ricotta Crostini cheeze bread for 5.99 only contains 4 bread boats. Other then that the food is always great! But you should prepare yourself for that heffty bill.
Delicious pizza subs. Pizza sauce, mottzarella cheese, ham, pepperoni , and green olives. Delicious and fresh ingredients.
1st Visit---Order was not accurate (Deluxe when was Meat Lovers w/Green Peppers and extra Cheese Romano). Were willing to make a new pizza, so accountable. Review of actial pizza to follow....
The food is fabulous!! Most of the food is homemade! The lasagna and cheese manicotti are awesome! Their Sicilian Sausage soup is unbelievably yummy!
My husbands company had their Christmas dinner/party there this weekend. The food is delicious and the servers are very courteous and efficient. Wonderful place!!!
We purchased a large party size pizza. The crust was crispy and the toppings were plentiful. Great as usual.
The service here is terrible. Long waits, no follow up, have to ask to have drinks or water refilled, waited 15 minutes just to get a box and our bill. Not the first time weve been disappointed. Wont be back to this establishment.
The food was great but we had a very long wait for just 2 subs and appetizer. Only one waitress for most of the time we were there.
Great food and service! The owners are really friendly people with a passion for their restaurant. They also make GREAT meatballs!
Carmellos special is by far the best pizza ever. Once you try one of these nothing else will ever compare. Trust me I have had their pizza in Dutton for 30 years!
Really nice place and great pizza. Id recommend getting extra sauce though because its really good and doesnt come with a ton standard.
Great service I recommend this service to everyone.
Authentic Italian food where you least expect it the taste and presentation of the lasagna transported me back to Bologna. Outstanding values.
My children held an 80th Birthday Party for me Saturday Sept.23th at Carmelos with 60 friends and relatives, the servce was excellant and the pizza and salads were delightful, the salads were very fresh and the dressings delicious,the cannoles were the best Iv every had and I have had many..Thank you Carmelos for a delightful party.
At least try to compete. Youre making a product that isnt as good as the competition, and youre charging 3x the price for it. As if we cant just drive another couple minutes to get better pizza for less than half the price. This is Dutton, not the UP.
Authentic Italian prepared by true Italians! Love their homemade Itailian sausage-not too bland, not too spicy, just delicious!!
Hands down the best pizza in Grand Rapids. Actually, this is the first really good pizza Ive had since I moved to Michigan.
Great pizza! Glad I rediscovered this place. Grew up in N.Y. and its hard to find places like this. Two thumbs up!
Wonderful family-owned Italian restaurant. The food is homemade and amazing! Great place to meet friends for a quiet evening!
Im never disappointed! My family always gets excited when I bring home food from Carmelos and of course there is never any leftovers.
Pleasantly surprised! Good food. Great lunch menu. Friendly staff...Needs music tho.
Best Italian sub Ive had in along time and very quick and friendly service definitely worth the stop in you wont be disappointed
Carmelo and his family are from Sicily and bring with them family recipes from the old country. The food which is prepared fresh everyday is absolutely amazing!! Bon apatite!!
Food is good, when you get the food you actually order. This is the 2nd time in a row where my food wasnt even close to what I ordered.
Must Try!!! Excellent Food!!! I had the Manicotti combination one meat and one cheese. This was the best Manicotti I have ever had!
Pizza was very great. Our favorite placefor pizza. Had a nice time with friends.
2nd visit just moved to town. Great food reasonable prices huge portions very clean. I enjoyed this restruant and will be back.
Carmelos has the BEST pizza!! We moved from the area, and, miss it, so, every time we our in the area, we stop by!!

2021-10-04Ordered a Tuscan pizza and a pepperoni and mushroom pizza. The pizza was delicious but I dont think its worth how much it costed. Not my favorite but still a must try at least once!
Review №2
2022-03-21Extremely friendly I loved the kindness of the owners and how they pride themselves on 100 percent real cheese and how they make there own sausage from scratch. Which by the way is like Fire meaning delicious....I truly enjoyed my pizza and the wonderful conversation with the owners....un my book cleaniess and great conversation and delicious food....I am sold at a 5 star rating all day everyday🤗
Review №3
2022-01-16Carmelos always has excellent Italian food. The reason for the 4 stars is that the prices seem to be higher than some of the other good Italian restaurants nearby. Otherwise, Carmelos has great food and service (take-out and dine-in).

2021-12-30We ordered 4 pizzas for a family gathering and really enjoyed these flavor-packed pies. The wings were ok. Go for the Carmelo special pizza - we’ll be back again.

2019-12-20This place is amazing. It taste very homemade. I had the Tuscan Chicken and added shrimp and it was outstanding! Watched how he prepared the dough and made the pizza and the people there are thee most humble!
Review №9
2021-03-03I had to find another locally owned pizza joint, and Im glad I found this place. The crust isnt too thick and doughy, they have the right amount of a tasty sauce, and the toppings are really good. The service is polite and patient. I like it done right, and this place does pizza right.
