Known for its pizza, the Congress has been a favorite restaurant around here for a long time. Our group of six seniors shared 3 large pizzas with just a few pieces left over. Thin crust with cudighi sausage seems to be pretty popular. My personal opinion is slightly different from everyone elseâs - the pizza sauce is too tomatoey for me, but with the other toppings and extra cheese was still delicious. We had a delightful server - Cassandra - very friendly and competent. On a Sunday night at 6:30 it wasnât too crowded but fair warning - Fridays and Saturdays can be very busy so expect a wait.

We stopped here for sandwiches based on Trip Advisor reviews. We are glad that we stopped for sandwiches; and bought supper too consisting of their homemade garlic bread, tortellini and marinara sauce. We also bought their capicola and mozzarella for breakfast. For sandwiches, we had a cudighi (coo-dee-gee) and the italian hero. All of the food was superb!!!Definitely a place to eat at and get extras for later!

This is everybody's stereotype of what an Italian restaurant should be. Big booths, vines on the ceiling, cozy, people laughing, good and plentiful food. The food is standard American Italian, tasty, and generously served. You'll go home with the next night's dinner in a box, and you'll enjoy it almost as much.

4. Venice Pub and Pizzeria

We'd heard about the new ownership at the Venice and a group we liked was playing there so a bunch of us made the trip over from Marquette on a Tuesday night. It was great. The Tuesday night special was a large pizza for only $6, so even by the time we added on some extra toppings and a couple of drinks we still got out for under $15 for the two of us. The pizza was excellent. A very tasty sauce. Lots of cheese but not too much. And a perfectly done crispy thin crust. It would be hard to turn down that bargain on a Tuesday night, but otherwise I'd be very tempted to order the burger and fries that a friend was eating. The burger was fat and juicy and most amazingly, on a homemade ciabatta-like bun. I'd heard that they hand-cut their own fries, and took a taste. Also as good as I've ever found in the U.P. It's a nice room with a vintage vinyl floor, pool tables, darts, and live music most nights. Large clean bathrooms. Highly recommended.
