EXCELLENT!!! Everywhere we travel we always seek out small pizza shops to test and review seeking the perfect pizza. Sometimes 3 shops in 3 days. This was literally one of the best pizzas we have had in the lower peninsula. Dough was sweet and chewy and the toppings were generous. 5 star all day. Only complaint was the stuffed crust was a little underwhelming (not enough cheese) but the rest of the pizzas made up for it beyond measure. Pizza balls were a blast as well!! We ordered a little bit of everything off the menu.
What an amazing find! WE WILL BE BACK!

If your in the area, it deserves a stop! The food was amazing! Loved the pizza balls. They do have a picnic area outside as well.

Today was my second visit.
My first visit, about a month ago, was a cheese pizza that I considered the best I’ve had in the Kalkaska area.
Today was a pepperoni pizza that wasn’t anywhere close to my first visit. When I called, they told me it would be ready in 45 minutes. We arrived after about 35 minutes and it had obviously been in the warmer for a while. It wasn’t hot and it was overcooked.
(I’m including a pic on the amazing cheese pizza and the overcooked pepperoni pizza)
I’m committed to trying this place again because of the amazing first experience. Another foul up and I’ll be sticking with something closer to Kalkaska.

Absolutely LOVED this little restaurant! Pizza was 10/10, the owner was so nice and accommodating, and we loved the other items in the shop as well as the atmosphere. Enjoyed eating outside in the shade. So thrilled at how good the gluten free flatbread was!! Amazing to have so many gluten free options out here by our lake! Thanks so much for having this business!

We got a little bit of everything for our first time here. Clam chowder was probably the best I’ve ever had, donuts were fresh, pizza balls were tasty. We will definitely be back!
Ps. Service was also great!

Just a cool little place off the beaten path. I love the pizza, and everytime I’ve picked up my order I had to get a cookie for dessert. The caramel brownie cookie is phenomenal!

OUTSTANDING!!!!! It’s very apparent to any pizza connoisseur that Manistee Lake Pizzeria & Bakery uses quality flour for their pizza crust and pizza ballz! We ordered a stuffed crust pepperoni pizza, a pizza with pepperoni,ham and onion, along with a cauliflower BLT pizza and a variety of pizza ballz! The crust was tasty, the onions were sweet (not overpowering) and the pepperonis were excellent if you don’t mind a little heat. The BLT was loaded with thick cut tomatoes and spring mix lettuce. And the pizza ballz were a huge hit. If you get a chance I highly recommend this little gem!!!

New pizza takeout on Manistee Lake. What a treat. Great food! Pizza balls are a treat. Pizza and cheese bread is tasty. Doughnut are fresh and delicious. Friendly and clean with good service. Dinner hour gets rather busy, highly recommend to call in your order, but they are extremely accommodating for walkup orders.

What an amazing little shop they have! The baked goods taste so good. So far, my personal favorite are the salted toffee cookies, but you can’t go wrong with any of their sweets. I look forward to discovering new favorites down the road.
We also ordered ahead tonight for a Manistee Lake Special Pizza for dinner. And it was fantastic, loaded with toppings, not greasy, and the crust has a great flavor.
