Love PRIMOS! My favorite meal is the Chicken bacon ranch sandwich with broasted potatoes, if you have not had them you are missing out. Generous portion sizes and absolutely delicious. Not to mention it is locally owned and operated!
ohhh and the pizza trays are our go to for summer pool parties!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mary C.Allen Park, MI02Apr 11, 2024
"Do you have cream cheese poppers?"
"Yes, we have cream cheese poppers."
"OK, I'd like to order cream cheese poppers."
I received cheddar cheese poppers.
In addition, our pizza was horrible. It had taste & texture as if it had been sitting a while and was old. (Yes, we were on time for pick up.) Dry, rubbery, and sad.
Not that you care Primo's, but we are in your neighborhood, long time customers & just broke up with you as the food/service has declined over past 6 months or so. Thanks for the memories when it used to be good.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We are so very sorry you had a bad experience. We are a locally owned, veteran owned and family owned pizzeria. It is run by family and most live in this city. This business means the world to us. For you to say or think we wouldn't care about your remarks/review is incorrect. We hope you will make up with us. We have owned this business for 17 years and was my first job in the 80's. Other than issues everyone is going through with hiring We have made no changes to our food or service. Again, we hope you will come back to us.

I ordered a small pepperoni pizza & a small order of loaded fries TO-GO at around 8:20 PM on a Monday.
The service was good! I was told it would be around 25-30 minutes for the food to be done and that's almost exactly how long it took!
So the reason I'm giving this review 2 stars is because for a "Pizza Place" the pizza was mediocre at best. Which is surprising given all the good reviews.. Also, the ranch has a weird taste to it. So I think it's safe to say from a pizza perspective you can get better.
The fries were good! And I'm happy I ordered them because the pizza didn't get eaten.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ed R.Inverness, FL07Sep 10, 2023
I enjoy the lasagna most, but it's ALL good ...
They also offer free food for your birthday if you enroll ...

We've been enjoying Rudy's chicken for YEARS. Their coleslaw is the BEST we've ever had. Well worth the drive from Wixom for special occasions.

We have been going to Primos since it was still across the street from where they are now. We always used them for graduation parties and showers. The last three times we got chicken there it was not very good. We thought we would give it another try today. We ordered two dinners with two pieces of chicken each. One with all white meat and one with all dark meat. The White meat dinner came with a breast and a wing, the dark meat one came with a leg and a wing(?) The wing isn't considered dark meat but it was fine, I'm ok with that. But, what I'm not ok if is that every piece except the breast was so over cooked that I could hardly bite into it, the skin was so hard and the meat was completely dried out. It wasn't edible at all. So, I ate my fried mushrooms and ranch dressing. The mushrooms were good but the ranch was so acidic that I burnt the back of my throat. We also ordered a grilled chicken bacon wrap and got fried chicken. The person that ordered it is on a special diet and cannot eat fried foods. They didn't at it. We spent over $60 for these meals and couldn't even eat them.
I'm very disappointed at how far PRIMOS has fallen. We will be finding another place for our broasted chicken.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kathy A.Melvindale, MI03Mar 18, 2023
First, and last, time I used delivery. I ordered pizza and bread that were lukewarm. Caesar salad with extra chicken (not) and croutons (none). I ordered it at 2:40pm and it was delivered at 4pm.
I wish Steve's pizza in Melvindale were open earlier. I won't be ordering from here again for a long time.
Poor quality, high prices.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jamieson C.Downriver, MI, MI01Aug 13, 2023
Primo's catered my son's graduation party. They did such a good job. Friendly and easy to work with. They let us modify the menu a bit. Communicated with us about everything. They set everything up and then came back and broke everything down at the end of the night. And, the best part, the food was delicious!! I heard all night long how delicious everything was! Definitely recommend!!

Couple weeks ago a neighbor of mine highly recommend that I try this Pizza, he posted a 5 star review on Google. Let me tell you this 40 year spot blew me away, sure it's a few miles away well worth the drive. I walked in and ordered after readings many reviews around the web. The most heavily loaded Pizza we ever eaten WOW. Got a large Primo Su-Primo
Primo's supreme has all items on that are on a Primo's special, plus-hamburger, italian sausage, black olives, tomatoes and mild bell peppers, sitting on top of double dough and loaded with extra cheese and extra sauce. and including these toppings.
Primos Special
this is a primo's classic! just the right amount of cheese, pepperoni, ham, green peppers, onions, bacon and mushroom. Took about 35 minutes just as told. Ordered 12 pc Broasted Chicken OMG fantastic bigger Chickens than most places, those Chicken Breast n Wings be huge. We looking forward to try a whole lotta the menu, it's loaded with tempting food goodies. Fast friendly service, I truly enjoyed talking with the Pizza guys up front. So many places skimp on the toppings, not this place just look at the photos. Thanks Dave for the tip. #primospizza
