Elephant & Co. Royal Oak

Yummy pizza! Their Detroit style pizza is very good, nice crust with tasty sauce. The beer selection is good. This is a self service location where you pay by the ounce and serve yourself. Its nice to have options and taste a wide variety. But you do all the work so it doesn't seem right that they ask for a tip at the end.

The employees were very kind and helpful. The method of securing your food and pouring drinks is fun. The pizza is probably some of the best Detroit style I have ever had (I eat ALOT). They also have great NA beer options for those who do not partake. Would recommend!

Love it! Haven't been here since the last owners, the new establishment is great. They have pay by ounce self-service, so you can try all their brews before making a selection. The garlic parmesan fries were delicious! There are also board/table games available. Will be back!

The beers from Eastern Market Brewing and Ferndale Project are great, as is the Detroit-style pizza. If you're a beer geek (and i most certainly am), the opportunity to try a bunch of beers in one sitting without getting bombed is always attractive.

How an organization reacts to issues says a lot about their ethos. In this case I was bummed it wasn't ideal, however I was more impressed with their handling and other aspects. While our pizza was undercooked, it didn't diminish my opinion and still a revisit is warranted. Its apparent they use high quality ingredients and craftsmanship. At least the perimeter of my pizza was cooked and scrumptious. I showed them the undercooked inner crust and they proactively took action to ensure we were satisfied. Thank you! We were fully compensated...even items not effected, (beer); which leads me to my next thoughts. They use a novel solution for beverage distribution. After a quick ID check they give you RF wrist band and use it to tap your libation of choice and then you proceed to a DIY pour (prices indicated in oz.). This makes getting drinks way more efficient. While I only sampled one beer, it was a great local craft beer from Detroit's Eastern Market. The selection choice is vast (see pics). Lastly I wanted to mention the environment has a very cool, relaxed vibe, great sound system, and various board games are available. Our 8 year old son loved that. High ceilings and a dark motif adds to a cozy, yet not cramped feel. It's an elevated lounge atmosphere with an outside patio located a stone's throw from the Royal Oak downtown. Despite our initial hiccup I plan to revisit soon.

I have never had anything aside from delicious food and beer here. Even the dairy free cheese on pizza is good! It's a family friendly environment as well, and the self pour system allows you to get a small taste before choosing your favorite.

Fantastic pizza. Really good wings. Beer options are great too. A little dark in there for some reason. They have trivia night every Tuesday apparently. Good stuff.
