Over the past two years, Pizza House has earned top honors in The Michigan Daily “Best of Ann Arbor” Poll for their extensive variety of delectable pizzas, entrees and munchies. Since its humble beginning in 1985, Pizza House has flourished into something of a take-out, delivery and dining-in Mecca, with an immaculate menu of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, chipatis, desserts and, of course, pizza to satisfy any craving. As this school year comes to a close and the votes have been cast for all that which is great in Ann Arbor, it is no surprise that for a third-consecutive year, Pizza House has proven to be a favorite dining and delivery establishment among Michigan Daily readers.
