Ernie's Pizza Cafe, 316 W. Fourth Street, Royal Oak, 248-398-9500

Ernie's Pizza Cafe is one of the more unique establishments in Royal Oak.  First and foremost, it has pizza – thin crust or stuffed.  Stuffed pizza is somewhere between a calzone, a sandwich and a slice of pizza.  Spicy pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and house made tomato sauce are is the filling between two layers of pizza dough.   

In addition to pizza, owner Anatoliy Dubovitskiy serves a bunch of different Eastern European dishes. Most are only available if you call ahead, but calling ahead could mean 30 minutes. Just call and ask if they have any Eastern European dishes available that day.  

Ernie's is open late on the weekends because stuffed pizza is an ideal food for post bar night noshing.
