If you're a female who attends the University of Michigan, you WILL get a Michigan salad at least 7 times throughout the 4 years of your college experience. This is a fact, not a hypothesis. Despite our justification that it just so happens to have lettuce, we would probably be better off ordering 3 slices of pizza. Between the giant portion size, walnuts, craisins, honey croutons (the best corutons you will ever eat I might add), and chicken if you so choose, this ends up being a pretty hefty meal. However, it is well worth it. Aside from that, the pizza is pretty standard (albeit more than satisfying after a night at the bar), and doesn't really compare to a lot of the other Ann Arbor staples i.e. Zingermans. Also, note to self: do not order their garlic knots if you plan to be in the presence of humans within the next 6 hours.

Just ordered some delivery and I have to say that I will not be making that mistake again anytime soon. This area is full of other choices that provide better food for the same or even cheaper price. We decided to try some subs (Italian supreme and Pizza), which were ok... nothing that I can't get a better version of from Aubree's, Subway, or Quizno's. With the amount of styro-foam that they used you would assume that the food was hot and drinks were cold, but that wasn't the case. We decided to upgrade to the curly fries which was a waste... even after we tried to revive them with the oven since they arrived limp and cold. Our fountain sodas were almost entirely ice and our two milkshakes were just that... MILK. As the food sits heavy in my stomach I hope that you can head my warning and order from somewhere else.

First...it's not the NYPD pizza you'll find in ann arbor, yeah they sell slices, but they're no where near as good, but they are cheaper. So, if you want a cheap slice of ok pizza this is your place!

Just came back from visiting this place. It's under new management (THANK YOU, JESUS~), and the new owners are determined to change your mind about this place. They are so super friendly, prices are completely reasonable, and the food is so much more improved than at the time of my review. The last owners (over)charged us $16 for a large pizza, but now it's down to around $7, which is so much more reasonable for a college campus pizza place. The food is good, simple, homey. They're now offering pizza, pasta, some mediterranean fare and Mexican items as well, so there's a little bit of everything for everyone, which again, is awesome for college campuses since they deliver all this sheezy. They've also done a butt-ton of remodeling. The place looks like a coffee house with all the lamp lighting and leather seating area now, and not a sterile operating room as in their previous incarnations.

We have ordered her 2x now an have been very happy both times. The only reason I dont give it 5 stars is because the homemade ranch needs more flavor and good ranch is a necessity for me. The prices are great. We had Schwarma (ask for extra garlic sauce), pizza, (YUM), Salad (huge), Chicken Wings (kids had them plain and fought over the last one). Hoping the new management has made a big difference and they start to get better reviews.

So their regular slices are average. Good place to go to if for whatever reason you need late night carbs. However.... THAT SPINACH CHICAGO STYLE DOEEEE!!!! I came here starving at around 12am one friday night and ordered this magnificent slice. It totally hit the spot! I didn't want the slice to end. It was so good that I came the next day just to make sure the deliciousness of the slice wasn't solely attributed to my hunger. Yes, it was still good in the middle of the day. So good that I came the next day to order the slice again. For you know how normal people get obsessed with a song, and play it on repeat or throughout the day? Well, I am like that with food. Try that spinach chicago, and let me know if I am crazy or not!

There's only one reason I go to NYPD - the late night special after 10PM. A personal one topping pizza with a drink for around $7 is a steal! Especially when you've been studying for an exam and craving some carbs to eat the stress away. The main issue with NYPD is its price to quality match. The pizza is sub-par but costs a lot more than you would expect. When you have options like $1.50 slices at Backroom Pizza on South U, why bother with $2+ slices. One of the nice things about NYPD is that it's open late and also has beer - and perhaps that niche is what keeps it in business. But I would definitely just stick with eating here for the late night special. Breaded chicken or sausage pizza with a drink after midnight is always a great idea.

Love the burgers and the price! I get the mushroom cheeseburger. It is a decent sized burger with a very nice bun. Their fries and garlic knots are pretty good however... I think their pizza is kind of awful. Staff is pretty friendly. If you go during a game they have lots of tvs.

3 stars is not for the taste but for the length of time it takes to get here & how often our food arrives COLD. I really love their pizza. I love the light crust they have. Its not crispy but still thin and I love that. The taste is great almost like a buttery taste & it isnt greasy at all! We have eaten here two dozen times & it is consistent that the food arrives luke warm 75% of the time. The bacon on the pizza is nice sized and their is a good amount of it. the toppings are plenty. Cheese quality is good. I dont like the bread sticks at all. I prefer their garlic nuts. Ranch dressing is great & they have a large very large menu. The cheese cake is out of this world The peach cobbler is unique & great. I believe its made with cake batter. I would love to see this place get heated delivery bags.

Just ordered and enjoyed the food, but hated the customer service. They forgot a topping and instead of just accepting it, they decided to argue with me about it on three separate calls. I didn't even want a replacement and honestly just wanted them to get the order right next time. They insisted on arguing with me and hung up on me after telling me to bring a slice in the next morning to prove it. We'll stick with Jets next time. Never again.

Very Very average pizza. When this place first opened, it was a smaller nypd. Taste just like it, so after not eating it for a couple of years, i decided to order delivery from here and boy it was not the same. This pizza tasted like a tony frozen pizza with actual bacon (only fresh ingredient i saw on the pizza). Also for 1 large meat lovers with delivery, it costed $19, can you say never again.

Ben A.
Great pizza. It's pizza by the slice, you gotta make sure you go there at night when they're moving through a lot of it. Otherwise you risk eating pizza that has been sitting out for a bit. They do make sure it's nice and hot for you though. Macaroni and cheese pizza and buffalo chicken pizza are the best.

Brandon Z.
Well, other than Pizza Hut, that was the worst pizza I've ever been served. I would not be surprised if it is Tombstone or Jack's. Doughy little overcheesed slices. It's weird, I remember it being acceptable the last time I was here a couple years ago, and the Ann Arbor location (New York Pizza Depot) was quite good from what I remember. The place was clean and the guy was nice, but they apparently don't know anything about pizza, even compared to everywhere else in Michigan.

Pizza is pizza is pizza is pizza. There are a bunch of pizza restaurants ALL OVER the place that basically make the same thing in a very similar way. Unless the pizza is incredibly unique (or incredibly yummy) it is hard to rate a pizza joint simply on the pizza they serve (I know, crazy, right?). Ypsilanti Pizza Depot serves pizza prettly much like pizza everywhere else, so, for that they are not entirely special. HOWEVER... The food here (everything) is amazing. Like, I'm talking super yummy chicken shawarma sandwiches, ya'll. YUM! Their menu is extensive, with a wide variety of items to choose from. Don't worry, though, pretty much all of them are pretty darn good. The actual location is always clean and they have really nice/helpful staff. There is always PLENTY of room to sit because it is almost always empty inside. Whether you dine in, take-out, or order delivery the Ypsilanti Pizza Depot is quick and convenient which is everything I need in life. Honestly, I don't know why I don't come here more often!

i won't even give this place 1 star, but had to. ordered large pizza, got medium, but charged for large. then got an extra "salad" and "bread sticks"...if you can even call it that! salad was shredded ice berg with 100 reese croutons and bread sticks were brown...looked more like chicken flavored rawhides for dogs. my dog could've probably made a better pizza. i would rather have had frozen pizza OR even eaten card board. it really is THAT bad. lesson learned. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

I had a bad experience. I knew something was amiss when the slavering gentleman took forever to take my order, as though "one slice of pizza, and a coke" is not a common order. I really knew something was up when this mouth breather went back to the kitchen, and handled food, plates and silverware IMMEDIATELY after picking both his nose and ears - then, for that savory taste, wiped some of the profuse sweat from his brow. A slice of pizza took 20 minutes. When I did receive it, this cardboard monstrosity was handed to me, not by an employee, but by some trashy college freshman who thought it would be funny to feign being an employee. Back to the pizza. It was a stale piece of flat bread, with a dusting of essence du mozzarella, some Bladerunner green, green onion (it looked like it was grown, chopped and packaged in New Mexico 3 months ago), and to tie it all together, what appeared to be ketchup for the sauce. I strongly disrecommend going in this place for any reason other than to marvel of a 21st century wonder of poor service and food.

This place is great! Unique and tasty pizza, completely different than NYPD in Ann Arbor (I originally thought they were part of the same chain but they're not). Not that there's anything wrong with NYPD pizza, but I like this quite a bit better. Delivery is fast and free, and the milkshakes are also delicious!

First of all, I'd like to state that I have never felt compelled to write a review on Yelp (good or bad) about any dining experience I've had. However, tonight...tonight changed everything. 10:05PM: I text my girlfriend suggesting we order pizza tonight when I get off work. She agrees immediately. 12:30AM: I get home from work. We relax and watch TV for a bit. 2:18AM: Our options have become pretty limited but the girlfriend mentions she has heard good things about NYPD Pizza. We call them and the man on the phone was polite--props for that. I'm starving so I order a philly steak sub with curly fries, a Sprite, some cheese bread, and a large pizza half pepperoni half green peppers. The man on the phone warns me (you live far away so it will take 45 or 50 minutes). 3:26AM: I call back, "I ordered over an hour ago..." "Our delivery guy left 10 minutes ago, it takes 17 minutes to get to your location so he will be there in 5-7 minutes." "Ok, thank you" 3:45AM: Delivery kid rings the intercom and I buzz him in. He looks dazed and confused when I open the door for him. Reeking of weed, he hands me the soda and takes the food from the heat bag. I'm the one ordering pizza at 2 in the morning--I should be the one who's stoned--not him. I pay him and reluctantly still gave him a tip. 3:47AM: Begin eating: pizza hardly looks cooked, toppings were completely scattered over the entire pizza (to the dismay of the vegetarian girlfriend). Everything was cold despite the ironic "Hot Delicious Pizza" caption on the side of the boxes. The sandwich and fries were unbelievably soggy. The soda was flat. Honestly how long does it take for a soda to go flat? Needless to say, I won't be ordering from here again. Heed my warning pizzalovers!

I love me some NYPD, so I was delighted when I found out they were coming to Ypsi. From my two visits, they seem to offer an identical product to what they offer up in Ann Arbor in their William and South U locations. Definitely not much street traffic passing this location, you definitely have to know where you're going to find it. Tucked back on a one way street one block off Cross near EMU's campus. Haven't tried their delivery. Carry out is relatively speedy. As always, their grilled veggie pizza is one of my favorite things to eat ever.

Uncle D's Pizza is a franchise based on the model of the hugely successful NYPD pizza in Ann Arbor. It's location, back from Cross street, next to a tattoo parlor, is not ideal, but the pizza is excellent an the service is very good. It is a quick walk from EMU's campus, mere steps beyond Jimmy John's. Pizzas by the slice include a respectable cheese, the surprisingly good mushroom, and the unlikely goodness of the buffalo chicken pizza. For those of us who are migrants from New York and New Jersey, good pizza is important to a good life, and therefore, Uncle D's arrival in Ypsilanti is a welcome development.

Decided to treat myself and order pizza tonight. I decided to try New York Pizza Depot because they offered free delivery. I ordered a medium Chicago style pizza, they bring me a small that was made accidentally. Then they tell me I will still be getting the medium and they gave me a $10 gift card! I won't order the Chicago Style again (because it was just not nearly as good as Lou Malnati's), but I will order from here again just because of great customer service!

Contrary to the other review, they are not affiliated with NYPD, although their add would lead you to believe otherwise. In fact that is why we ordered their, but after being unable to find any link to them on NYPD's website, my husband straight up asked them when picking up our carry out and they confirmed it. The menu is nearly identical to NYPD and pretty good. The carryout was very speedy and done perfect to order. Although I do prefer NYPD, Ypsi Pizza Depot was good and closer to my house so I will probably go there again.

An enormous menu for a pizza joint, but a little suspect. Mexican? Smoothies? I'm at NYPD (albeit under a new franchise name), so serve me up some big pizza slices! The restaurant doesn't have much for ambiance: there's free Wi-Fi (wireless Ypsi) and a TV that's always been tuned to CNN when I've been in there. I'm perplexed by another reviewer's complain that there was nowhere to sit- the dining room has at least a dozen tables and the most I've ever seen in use is two. I think a lot of their business is take-out and delivery. The pizza is oily and greasy... more so that I remember having in New York... but it's delicious. The pies aren't usually fresh baked, but they go back through the oven and come out none the worse for wear; the greek salads are mostly iceberg but they're good; the garlic knots are tasty but overpriced. I suggest the deep-dish pies, which aren't NY style but none the less give you enough fuel that one slice counts as a meal. There are two main reasons to eat here: it's a quick and convenient way to eat something hot for just a couple bucks more than Jimmy John's, and their pizza is tasty and filling

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

If you're a female who attends the University of Michigan, you WILL get a Michigan salad at least 7 times throughout the 4 years of your college experience. This is a fact, not a hypothesis. Despite our justification that it just so happens to have lettuce, we would probably be better off ordering 3 slices of pizza. Between the giant portion size, walnuts, craisins, honey croutons (the best corutons you will ever eat I might add), and chicken if you so choose, this ends up being a pretty hefty meal. However, it is well worth it. Aside from that, the pizza is pretty standard (albeit more than satisfying after a night at the bar), and doesn't really compare to a lot of the other Ann Arbor staples i.e. Zingermans. Also, note to self: do not order their garlic knots if you plan to be in the presence of humans within the next 6 hours.

Just ordered some delivery and I have to say that I will not be making that mistake again anytime soon. This area is full of other choices that provide better food for the same or even cheaper price. We decided to try some subs (Italian supreme and Pizza), which were ok... nothing that I can't get a better version of from Aubree's, Subway, or Quizno's. With the amount of styro-foam that they used you would assume that the food was hot and drinks were cold, but that wasn't the case. We decided to upgrade to the curly fries which was a waste... even after we tried to revive them with the oven since they arrived limp and cold. Our fountain sodas were almost entirely ice and our two milkshakes were just that... MILK. As the food sits heavy in my stomach I hope that you can head my warning and order from somewhere else.

The menu is nearly identical to NYPD and pretty good. The carryout was very speedy and done perfect to order. Although I do prefer NYPD, Ypsi Pizza Depot was good and closer to my house so I will probably go there again.

An enormous menu for a pizza joint, but a little suspect. Mexican? Smoothies? I'm at NYPD (albeit under a new franchise name), so serve me up some big pizza slices! The restaurant doesn't have much for ambiance: there's free Wi-Fi (wireless Ypsi) and a TV that's always been tuned to CNN when I've been in there. I'm perplexed by another reviewer's complain that there was nowhere to sit- the dining room has at least a dozen tables and the most I've ever seen in use is two. I think a lot of their business is take-out and delivery. The pizza is oily and greasy... more so that I remember having in New York... but it's delicious. The pies aren't usually fresh baked, but they go back through the oven and come out none the worse for wear; the greek salads are mostly iceberg but they're good; the garlic knots are tasty but overpriced. I suggest the deep-dish pies, which aren't NY style but none the less give you enough fuel that one slice counts as a meal. There are two main reasons to eat here: it's a quick and convenient way to eat something hot for just a couple bucks more than Jimmy John's, and their pizza is tasty and filling
