Art & Jake’s Northville: Detroit-style deep dish pizza worth the trip

By Julie Moraitis, Ambassador of Northville Now

If Northville's pizza conversation turns to Detroit-style deep dish, Art & Jake's Sports Bar & Grill on Six Mile Road belongs at the top of the list. Northville Now's ambassador recommends the location for exactly that craving: thick, square pies with a crispy cheese edge, house-made dough, and a sports-bar energy that makes sharing a pizza feel like an event.

Art & Jake's Northville sits at 39715 Six Mile Road (248-404-4040), with waitlist and reservation tools linked from the official location page. Posted hours are Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-midnight and Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-1 a.m., with the kitchen closing an hour earlier; the restaurant notes Thanksgiving and Christmas Day closures and a 9 p.m. Christmas Eve close. Always confirm hours before you go.

Detroit-style deep dish, front and center

On the current Art & Jake's gourmet pizza menu, dough is prepared fresh daily and finished with a three-cheese blend of Parmesan, provolone and mozzarella. The Three Cheese Bread is listed explicitly asDetroit-style deep-dish, and Northville ordering menus group the gourmet pies assquarepizzas—the classic Detroit shape. Specialty pies include The Pub (pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, green peppers and onions), Meatlovers (pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham and crisp bacon), BBQ Chicken, Veggie, Motor City Stinger (pepperoni cups, whipped ricotta, basil and hot honey), and a build-your-own option with meat and veggie toppings.

That lineup is what makes this recommendation so easy to stand behind: Art & Jake's gives Northville a clear path to Detroit-style deep dish without leaving Six Mile Road. Whether the table goes classic with The Pub, doubles down on Meatlovers, or keeps it simple with Three Cheese Bread, the menu is built for sharing—and for the kind of hearty, caramelized-edge pizza Detroit is famous for.

More than a pizza stop

Art & Jake's is still a full sports bar and grill. The Northville dining room runs the wall-to-wall TVs you'd expect for game day, and the covered patio with fire-pit tables is an easy warm-weather add-on. The broader menu covers shareable appetizers, wings, salads, burgers, grinders and entrees—so a pizza-focused table can still pull in a few starters while the screens stay on.

How to plan it
