The Star on GrandB+Worth Trying

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout

Deep-dish and Detroit-style pizzas with friendly, kid-welcoming vibes; excellent pies and solid cocktails, but service consistency and closing-time rush can frustrate.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

The Star on Grand delivers solid neighborhood pizzeria quality anchored by excellent food quality with well-executed Detroit and Chicago deep-dish styles. However, inconsistent execution across visits—ranging from crisp, buttery pies to occasionally overcooked or bready results—prevents a higher grade. Competent service and comfortable seating support the experience, making it a reliable choice for quality pizza without the distinction of top-tier establishments.
