Searching for decent thin crust I relied heavily on word-of-mouth. Since I use Yelp exclusively, I tend to forget that people find using Facebook or Google reviews easier.. I find that tidbit lazy but hey, potato potatoe. Many of the reviews are short and not detailed enough to offer sufficient information.
For thin crust, two names popped up; Gaetano's deli & pizza and Mr Vetoes. I would have opted to try Gaetano's since the reference was specific about their thin crust. Also, G's was closer to my location. As in a short 4 minute drive. But, since I was ordering within a group let's just say my thoughts were vetoed! (Bah-dum-tsshh!) cheesy right?
Moving on & phoning ahead. I asked if they could enlighten me on their crust offerings. They mentioned a sorta thin option which they could make thinner if requested. They offer double dough (their already thin version x2) and a pan which is considered more of a deep dish with a thick crust. (Since I had already placed an order for thick elsewhere, I had to pause on trying it here. #bummer In MI I'm always on the lookout for what is considered Detroit style.)
I requested they make me an extra thin version of their thin. I was pleased with this option being the fact that when I arrived (some 20 minutes later) I watched as a pizza maker thinned out a small pie and ensured its flattening by adding significant pressure as he moved around in a circle. The pie guy was a big dude with big hands. His technique looked legit to me.
Note; this is a carry-out kinda location "in the sticks." There are a couple benches outside which in sunny, earlier times, may be a great option. But being that it's summer and the mosquitoes are bitin'.. unless you've got OFF! Deep Woods spray in your trailer.. I'd keep truckin'. They aren't a full service kind of place. It's expected you grab your food and go. If eating on their benches, clean up after yourselves.
Inside the shop they offer a wealth of food options. The appearance is so laid back & plain, I'm thinking this is a new concept for them and are still learning how to present. There is hardly any indication of other foods offered. This is where structured decor is a necessity. I'd suggest pictures of fan favorites. Photos captured on the web that are printed and mounted within the shop. It makes ordering easy and gives new customers an idea. A large printed menu posted anywhere, somewhere, would be great as well.
Vetoes offers submarine sandwiches (or opt for subs made on garlic bread), salads, Tanzini's (some sorta special bread baked hot and topped with your sandwich ingredients), hamburgers, fries, fried chicken, "dinners", calzones, appetizers, ice cream and handmade desserts as well. At the shop I spoke to someone learned in their abilities that wanted me to note all of these offerings. He spoke about their capabilities & ability to do anything with their pizzas. We're talking specialty variety. Stuff like, BLT, Philly Steak, cheeseburger and then all the typical. Like veggie, Hawaiian, cheese lovers, etc.
The final product looked legit to me. Although they offer specialty pies, I'd suggest sticking to a few toppings so that your pie isn't weighed down. The slices were decent and floppy like a smaller or hand tossed NY slice with a puffy sort of crust. Good stuff. If and when I'm back in the area, I'd consider giving them another go.
One fella in our group that loves thin crust wasn't very impressed but he was also hoping for something closer to what he loves. I had to remind him, we're in the sticks out here. Their greatest competition is Domino's and Lil' Caesars. Vetoes product is something different and better in my opinion. Me.. I'm easier to please. Vetoes got their dough to a thinner crust for us. It could have been foldable. Once I opened that box, slices flew past me in minutes. If feeding a group, it'd be wise to ask how many slices come with their different sizes. I've included a photo of our pie. Pepperoni with black olives. -

This is definitely my favorite pizza in all of Michigan. I wish I lived closer! Closest thing to WNY pizza that I can find. Definitely a huge treat when we are in town. The ice cream is great, too.

We love this place!!! The family owned joint has the best ice cream in the summer and The Best pizza!!!! Open year round. They are known for their pizza but the other items we have tried are good, but typical fare. When in the area - plan a meal that includes Mr Vetoes and get extra because it warms up great in the oven or on the grill. Enjoy! Price is reasonable too

This is our FAVORITE place for pizza and Antipasto Salad!!! The owners and staff are wonderful, community minded and family oriented. If you haven't tried this place, you don't know what you're missing!
