Hubby and I went there a month or so ago with a discount coupon purchased from our local tv station. I ordered the Reuben and fries and Hubby ordered a burger. The food arrived in a timely manner, the waitress was outgoing and friendly. Servings were huge! I enjoyed my Reuben with lots of homemade corned beef, kraut, cheese and just the amount of dressing on great tasting marbled rye bread) and Hubby said the burger was the best he has tasted in a long time. We ordered a small pizza with the balance of the coupon to take home and enjoy later that evening. While waiting on our food I checked out the booth area, spotless! No dust, no grime, and no fingerprints anywhere. Very impressive. I had to check out the ladies room and the only place I could find dust or anything«nasty» was on the hinges of the stall’s door. I’ve yet to see clean hinges anywhere. There was no buildup around the bases of the stalls or the baseboard as is common to any restaurant I’ve been in. I ran my finger atop the various pictures hanging in my path. Nada, zilch, zip, zero. Clean as a whistle! The pizza we enjoyed later was delicious but the crust tasted better cold for some reason. The cleanliness of this restaurant blew me away! We will return to Goalpost in the near future and we both look forward to another pleasant dining experience.

A little bit pricey to me for what you get. That being said pizza is as good or better than most small town pizza joints I’ve had. Always nice to get something unique with pizza.

Decent, yet far too expensive for so very little. Ordered two large pizzas with meats on both but received one large pizza with some meat and one large pizza with what I think was supposed to be the pepperoni from what was left of someone else’s pizza. If you are going to charge as much as they do for toppings, it would be good to actually have toppings. I was just happy that I ordered to go because I would not want to even imagine the wait time dining in.

I called and ordered my pizzas and asked specifically how much each pizza was. When I showed up the prices has been jacked up from the inquiry on the phone. They were indeed menu prices, but why tell phone-ins its going to be $ 4 cheaper? It was also ready 15 mins after i was told to show up. The BBQ chicken pizza was a joke. I wish I could attach a pic to this post. Underneath the BBQ sauce and sparse shredded chicken was a cheese pizza(with pizza sauce!) that looked like a frozen or previous pizza that had already been cooked, then had BBQ sauce, a TINY bit of cheese and chicken added and baked again. I could see 2 definite layers of cheese… The lower layer cooked to a nasty brown crust and the top barely melted. On the ride home, the entire fresh layer had slid off revealing the original pizza and a total mess in the box. The antipasto salad was 90 percent lettuce, a tiny amount of ham and cheese and about 4 pepperoni slices. Not near worth the $ 8 I paid for it. Little Caesars’ crappy pizzas and salads blow these out of the water at a fraction of the cost. I called the store after returning home and they really couldn’t have cared less about my concerns. This is my 3rd and last try with Goal Post. I love locally owned shops and usually support them over chain stored any day, but I have yet to have a pleasant experience here. Horrible service as well. Sorry Goal Post, I really wanted to make you our weekend pizza place, but SERVICE and QUALITY are severely lacking!!!

Was driving through Michigan with my bro and his three fantastic wee ones in tow. The kids were hungry and we’d been driving for quite awhile, a food pit stop sounded like a great idea. He was driving and I was scanning reviews for a decent, family style place to stop. Due to traffic we took a different route which brought us through the area. A quick call to the number I found on Unilocal and discovered they were still open and could accommodate us for dinner. It was a weeknight and the place was empty except for a few take out orders. The décor was dated and the business looked to be family run. Per the menu it’s been a family business since its start in 1979. The business switched hands to the now current owning family in 2000. Decent place with tables and seating accommodating any size group whether it be a couple or a group of six. The restaurant is clean, well lighted and suited for a family gathering. Pizza takes time to prepare and since I would assume families come here often, ownership had put in a small game room with arcade games and the novelty crane machine where one tries to win a stuffed animal.(Bring quarters because they don’t keep that stocked) We ordered a few different items since we had one that dines gluten free. A couple pizzas, a plate of fries and a special salad for our special one, of onions, tomato slices and cucumbers without the seeds. We could tell the waitress found the salad order odd, but it gets tiresome to explain food allergies. Service took its time and I don’t think they either know or have the mindset to be more available. I mean, it’s a restaurant which has served the area for many years but I don’t think it’s ever that busy like that of any pizzeria found in a greater, populated area. So, don’t go expecting too much. I find that in slower places, lowering my expectations is best. Pizza was good but it took its time, I would probably go back again if I ever found myself in this area with the same people. Restaurant staff was inviting and there was some good back and forth conversation. The kids enjoyed and we had a good time. The stars are for the charm of the people behind the pizza. The good service, though I will admit it was slow and when we needed things we had to get up and ask for someone to stop by our table. Free and ample parking.

The pizza was decent and reasonably priced, but I’m probably not going to rush back to eat here anytime soon. The service was horrible. We had to get up from our table in order to find our server because silverware, refills, drinks, or questions of ‘do you need anything else’ ‘how’s everything’ ‘would you like a box’ or ‘ready for the check’ were never offered.

My girlfriend and I decided to check this place out since we had a coupon. We ordered a pizza which wasn’t too bad. It was good and it hit the spot, but nothing really to talk about. The service was terrible. We got our water and food and we didn’t see our waitress until the very end of our meal. She didn’t even bring out a bill. I don’t know if that’s the way they run things, but if so they could of said something. The décor seems dated, like a place from the 70s. I have so many more restaurants to try out, so this place may be near the end of my list to go back to.

Moved to Birch Run 2 months ago and FINALLY got to experience this place after reading the other review. DELICIOUS!!! It was only $ 11 for a large two topping pizza. My fiancée and I killed the WHOLE thing. We ate it so quickly, you would have thought we were in training for a get fat quick contest. We grabbed a takeout menu and I was impressed with the prices. This place is cheap and really good! I encourage you guys to try it. We will probably frequent this place.

**Disclaimer: I’m family of the owners, so I may be a little biased** This is the best pizza place is BR. Seriously. The place is laid back, pretty fast, has great food and delivers. Food: Great. Despite the name, they offer more than pizza. They have a full lunch and dinner menu with burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips, steak, and even a killer Chicken Alfredo. My recommendations: the ham and cheese sub(comes with fries), Chicken Alfredo, BLT pizza(with ranch) and, of course, one of their signature strombolis(two can split a small or medium depending on how hungry you are). Atmosphere: Great. It’s usually pretty quiet(except right after the schools let out) and it’s family-friendly. There’s a small room filled with arcade games for the kids and they can even find some crayons if the kids are really little. Service: Good. You’ll see a combo of the adults(family) that run the place and the local 16 – 24’s they hire to cook, do deliveries, etc. Everyone has a good attitude. Price: You can’t beat it. Everything is reasonably priced with large portions.
