Shield's Restaurant Bar Pizzeria is a pizza restaurant in Detroit, Michigan. It is listed at 5057 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI 48202, which places it among the local businesses of Detroit that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as caterer, sports bar, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Pizza places in the United States run from a counter with two stools and a stack of boxes to a full sit-down pizzeria with a bar, and most neighborhood shops do all three things at once: dine-in, takeout and delivery. Ordering by phone is still common and often faster than an app, and many independents charge less when you call direct because there is no platform fee. Sizes are usually listed in inches (a small around 10", a large 14", an extra-large 16" or more), and a large feeds two to three adults. Slices are sold from a display case at New York-style counters and reheated to order; whole pies take 15-25 minutes at a busy shop. Most spots take cards and mobile pay, though a few older pizzerias remain cash-only, so check the door or the listing before you order.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 11 am–10 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (313) 262-6087. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is shieldspizza.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 1,286 reviews, which is a strong result for a pizza restaurant in Detroit and suggests consistent service.

Great place for Detroit style Pizzq steps from the Institute of Art! Friendly staff and delicious food. We tried the small Shield’s Supreme pizza and it was delicious. Also some fabulous German Chocolate Cake for dessert.

June 20, 2026 Saturday 2-4 pm First timers Walked in. Reached for the ECO Lab hand sanitizer on the wall-EMPTY. Told the manager immediately. He apologized. Pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves. Our server was very friendly. Ordered The cheesy bread, JL Hudson Salad (Maurice). And a Large Meat Lovers Pizza with feta, a small Golden Pizza (Spicey), 2 beers, 1 gin & tonic ($122 included the automatic 20% gratuity added in) pizza was good. 9/10 just wasn’t real hot. The salad was just ok. 7/10. The sweet gherkin pickles were not sliced up but put on whole. So that was awkward for a Maurice. The lettuce chunks were too big. Not enough cheese. The bathrooms were a little dirty and needed bleach on the exposed plunger (very unsanitary) (plunger should be contained in a closed holder. With bleach!) βœ…βœ…They obviously have toilet flushing issues & plumbing issues need to be addressed because the flushing was sluggish and there was toilet paper that wouldn’t flush down all the way. And minimal was what I used . The floors in the women’s bathroom needed to be bleached. the tile was icky. Overall experience..7.9/10 ….The rating would have been higher had the restroom been cleaner. I noti

Here’s your corrected version with the same meaning and style, just cleaned up: I was recommended to go here by some local Detroiters I know. It’s in the downtown area with not a lot of parking, but inside they have a really good bar that allows you to look straight out at the traffic. I sat at a booth that was very comfortable, and there was a lot of cool stuff on the walls. The pizza was really good. The sauce, as you can see in the photos, isn’t super chunky, which I liked. It had very good flavor and was a little sweet, which I really enjoyed. The cheese was legit, and they also carry the cheese all the way to the edge of the crust so it burns in, which adds really good flavor. A lot of other deep-dish places go way too thick with the dough. This is right in between, almost like Detroit meets Chicago deep dish. Definitely worth going there. Nice location, super clean, and the staff I experienced today were very friendly.

Delicious food and drinks! The service was fast, and Jason, our waiter, was very personable and made our outing feel so welcoming and enjoyable. They also had karaoke, which we unfortunately had to leave before it started because we knew we’d enjoy it a little too much and end up staying out too late lol (we had to work in a few hours). Such a fun atmosphere overall β€” I would highly recommend this place!
