This 100% plant-based pizza parlor specializes in Detroit-inspired pies. Mercury culture editor Suzette Smith wrote, "Boxcar Pizza easily falls into the category of vegan food that you crave, even if you aren't vegan. The luscious imposter mozzarella and ricotta on Boxcar's Bianca pie may as well be real cheese for all its melted, gooey goodness. While walking home from Boxcar on a misty winter evening, I achieved a perfect hygge moment after chomping into a garlic piece buried inside seasonings of basil, sea salt, and red pepper flakes, all while grease ran into the palm of my hand."

Pop flavors range from mangonada and "Oatchata" (cinnamon and oat milk) to the "Tickle My Pickle"—Suzette Smith wrote of that particular eyebrow-raising flavor, "The Tickle My Pickle bar had a full-blown dill spear frozen in there. I had my reservations, but the tastes really worked. The salty brine never wavered in its vinegar deliciousness, and that dill wedge surprise had me engaged right down to the personalized Ice Queen popsicle stick."

EverOut managing editor Janey Wong wrote of this plant-based comfort food destination, "The chicky nuggies were very convincing, lookin’ darn near identical to their animal counterpart, and satisfying to this omnivore’s palate. The curly fries that accompanied it were pitch-perfect, but the real revelation was the vegan ranch."
