Mojito Tapas Restaurant
2231 Holiday Manor CenterGreat tapas restaurant
Delivery pizza. Order here vs Papa Johns, Dominos, Pizza Hut, etc if you like deep dish. Its Detroit-style which has grown to be my favorite style. You can add flavor (garlic, butter, Parmesan and others) the crust. There is a trubo style crust (Garlic, butter and Parmesan) but I think the butter is too much. Just a 1 minute drive to pick it up if you don't want it delivered.
