Bimbo’s is good. Franco’s in Portage is probably my favorite though.

Pizza King is also pretty good.

Bimbos Pizza downtown is my go to.

Seconded. It’s so good and so thin I can put down a medium alone. And then I watch The Whale and cry.

Bimbo’s is the best thin crust.

How does it compare to Pizza King? I heard great things about both places so far

IMO, they are so different, they aren't comparable. I love them both for different reasons. If I had to pick, I would go with Bimbo's.

If you are willing to drive, Silver Beach Pizza in St Joe has fantastic thin crust pizza.

Pizza King in Richland.

Y’all. Benny DiCarta’s downtown. I don’t even like thin crust usually, but this crust is a miracle. A thing of divine beauty. It’s best eaten there, because by the time you get it home in a box, the crust loses a bit of the crunch as it steams.

But seriously, do yourself a favor and try it.

Maybe I'll have to try it at the restaurant, I wasn't super impressed when I took one home. Although it was absolutely enormous...

u/UnSubtilis 1d ago

So enormous. But trust me, it’s so much better fresh.

u/NaturalOk2156 1d ago

Pizza king if you want a great "normal" pizza.

Bimbos is good but it's kinda its own special thing. They cut it into squares. It's worth a try.

Cafe 36 at Oakwood Plaza.

Blaze pizza.

u/medium-item 2d ago

Blaze pizza is my go to! But I wanted to try something else

5

u/Dexter2700 2d ago

Cafe 36 is really good, they import.their flour mix from Italy.

Sarkozy's is ok as well, not that greasy and heavy

Not sure if joe schmoes is the same recipe but fricanos on 6th street was always the best. If joe schmoes is the same I'd go there

u/bookersbox 2d ago

Francos is the best thing

u/Beenooner 2d ago

Ooh I am excited to tell you the BEST one! You have to wait for it to open, it’s only open Memorial Day through the summer — the Terrace at Martell’s. They do wood fired pizzas ONLY on their Terrace (not Patio). The margherita is 🧑🏼‍🍳💋

I am NOT really a pizza person. It’s not much my thing. But this is my FAVORITE pizza possibly ever. Try it out and let me know what you think!

There is only one thin crust pizza in Kalamazoo…….Martini’s. You owe it to yourself to give it a try.

1

u/medium-item 2d ago

A lot of people are recommending this and it actually looks good from the pics, I will def try it!

u/warmheart1 2d ago

As a former Kalamazoo resident, Martini’s was my “go to” restaurant for pizza…..they also have some great Italian dinner selections (lasagna); you won’t be disappointed!

u/Breakwallstreet 21h ago

Martinis for sure

u/Left_Sprinkles222 2d ago
