Grandma Bob's Big Mack Pizza

Grandma Bob's has carved out a niche in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood with its creative, hand-made pizzas. The shop has gained a loyal following by offering both well-executed classics and inventive specialty pies that often playfully mimic other iconic foods. This approach allows them to cater to traditional pizza lovers while also attracting diners looking for a unique culinary experience.

The Big Mack Pizza is a deep-dish pie designed to replicate the flavors of the classic fast-food burger, featuring Impossible Burger crumbles, vegan mozzarella, a drizzle of vegan Thousand Island dressing, pickles, shredded iceberg lettuce, onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on the crust. It is a vegetarian pizza that can also be prepared fully vegan or on a gluten-free crust upon request. The price ranges from $17.00 to $38.00, depending on the chosen size, which includes medium, large, and extra-large deep dish options.

Diners frequently praise the Big Mack Pizza for its surprisingly accurate and fun take on the iconic burger's flavor profile. The combination of the savory Impossible Burger, the tangy dressing, and the crisp lettuce and pickles on a deep-dish crust is often highlighted as a unique and satisfying experience. Given its inventive nature, the Big Mack Pizza is often compared to the creative, pun-named specialty pies at other popular Detroit pizzerias, most notably Pie-Sci, which is also famous for its unconventional and ever-changing pizza creations.
