Laughlin’s Slice Of Spice

Amazing food, my favorite is the breadsticks with garlic cream cheese. It’s to die for!

The food here is fantastic. There is no disputing that; however, the food is overpriced. This is not to say that the food isn’t wonderful, but it’s $ 20 for a pizza that is really only worth $ 15. Adding onions to one’s sandwich adds $ 1.50 to the sandwich’s cost. It seems as though they are charging more for their items than they are worth. While I love their food, it would be great if it were not so expensive.

Man, Oh, Man! I’ve been dying to try this place out since booking tickets to NASCAR’s Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway… I always book, then Unilocal!
After reading the reviews, I said to myself, «Self, we gonna grab us some Laughlin’s!». The pics of the pies had me going. Having to wait from December ’til now was killing me.
A few weeks ago, I made contact via email, and corresponded with Mary. I explained that I make my own pies, and I’m very interested in how others craft theirs, and I would like to see the «back of the house». She responded affirmatively, and I was stoked.
Fast-​forward to Friday, the 12^th. We get seated… there was no crowd, yet, and I inquire about the email exchange. What I get is a closer view of what can be seen by the diners; 2 pizza dressing stations, and a wood fired oven… yeehaw!
The ambiance is non-plussed…Burgundy walls, and a flat screen or two. They have a full service bar that I didn’t take advantage of because a nice IPA was on tap.
The service was fantastic, and I hope the management appreciates them as much as I do.
Brass tacks time! As I was not shown the «back of the house», I can only make assumptions. If the management wishes to respond, they have my email address…
The dough is not opened by hand; it is flattened by a dough press. There was little, if any crumb. The dough is the most important part of a pizza, just as bread is to a sandwich. Crappy bread=crappy sandwiches.
The house made sauce is a Stanislaus, perhaps Escalon, extra heavy sauce, with basil… the house made part is mixing a #10 can of sauce with two more of water.
The cheese is a low moisture bulk purchased Mozzarella.
Will I eat here again? I’ll give Klavon’s a shot, then I’ll decide.
Pizza two stars, wait staff FIVE!

Seriously REALLY GOOD. The pizzas are pretty simplistic, which allows the flavors of the ingredients shine through. They’re more authentic and «rustic» than other pizza places in the area. Way better than Klavon’s!
Highly recommend!

So good!!! We had margarita pizza and pepperoni pizza and bread sticks. Best place for pizza in the Jackson area!!! This will become a family favorite!

Love it! Great place and friendly staff. Love how you can split pizzas in half and try different kinds. Wonde4ful beer and wine selection as well.

This place was pretty cool, the atmosphere was great although a bit loud. The pizza was average and the beer selection was good. The reason I gave 3 stars was for our wait for the pizza, from order time to the table it took a little over an hour. Two large pizzas and 8 beers will run you about $ 80… I would recommend checking this place out!

I absolutely love this place and who knew that the best pizza in Jackson would be in little tiny Spring Arbor! The restaurant itself has nice décor, quite clean, with a friendly staff! The pizza is outstanding along with their other food as well. You get generous portions and unique pizza options as well as a create your own! The pizza is made in one of the few brick oven pizza places in the state of Michigan :) when I want to order pizza I go there! I highly recommend this place!

Great unique pizza loved the wood fired idea — very friendly and really great food!

Great pizza place in Jackson! Wood fired pizza oven makes the pizza unlike any other. Friend of mine checked in here about a month ago, and said it was great. Never had heard about it so took a ride to check it out. Glad we did, definitely will be back. Owner was very friendly, chatting with us at the bar, filling us in on the history. Highly recommend SOS!

What brought me back was the memory of smelling the fire oven a few times back.
Didn’t smell it this time nor did we enjoy the visit. The food seems a little overpriced for what you get and the service could not keep up with the demand the day we were in. Ill stick to my local pie factory as the drive to Spring Arbor is just a bit to far for just pizza.
Probably won’t be back as the last 2 times I have been here the pizza has just been mediocre.

Best pizza in Jackson! Ok… tie with Beach Bar and Klavon’s, but still, really good! And if you decide to eat in, the atmosphere is really cozy.
