The Spotlight on Mootz Pizzeria   Bar

Detroit's Slice of NYC Flavor, Steps from the Action

Mootz Pizzeria + Bar brings authentic New York-style pizza to the heart of downtown Detroit. Located on Library Street, just a short walk from major concert venues, this modern yet casual pizzeria pairs a laid-back vibe with award-winning pies and a full bar. The sleek interior, exposed brick, and upbeat energy make it more than just a pizza place—it's a go-to hangout with a city feel and neighborhood charm.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its prime location makes Mootz a top pick for pre-show fuel or a post-show bite. The service is quick and friendly, ideal for those on a time crunch before the music starts. Despite the buzz, the noise level stays manageable, and there's plenty of seating for groups. The full bar adds to the festive feel, making it a perfect pit stop to kick off your concert night.

  • Solo travelers wanting a satisfying slice and a bar seat
  • Couples enjoying a casual bite before a show
  • Fans who love a lively, music-friendly atmosphere
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers who still want great food

Many mention it’s the best pizza in Detroit, and a few even call it “as good as NYC.” Service is consistently praised as fast and attentive, even during busy hours.

Areas for Improvement

l I came into Mootz after work the other day and it was great. The food was good and the bartender John kept making the best drinks. Definitely going back again with the girls!

l Pizza was very good, but not the best I’ve ever had. Staff was very accommodating after experiencing a reservation snafu. Our server was great.
