My partner and I have eaten at the food truck several times now and the pizza (and service!!!) has been consistently great. We always get the cool it down (I love the NY style but he prefers the pan) with a couple of drinks at Hop City and it makes for a great night out! Easily some of the best pizza in Birmingham and we will continue to be regulars.

Menu breadth is slimmer than Riverchase but the pans still hit. Order on Toast before you roll up so the oven is ready for you.
Great for brewery-adjacent nights, Southside hangs, and anyone who wants Detroit-style corners without a full sit-down shop.

Ordered take out. Got the Figgy and a Build your own. Both were delicious. My favorite thing: cold toppings on the side so they aren’t mush when you get home! I love it. The Figgy was excellent - the perfect amount of prosciutto and fig. Love the sweet bites from the fig. And the arugula, feta, and Balsamic glaze are the perfect complement to the fig and prosciutto. Will definitely be back!
Picked up two pizzas at Hop City. Visiting from Michigan, and consider myself a Detroit style connoisseur. Uncle G’s nails it. Crispy edges with fluffy dough. “The Dal” was absolutely divine.
Uncle G’s pizza 🍕 is the real deal. This has to be some of the best pizza around here not to mention the best Detroit style pizza. The ingredients are all extremely high quality and the crusts on both the normal and the crispy thin were absolutely perfect. You can tell that this food denotes a dedication to their craft.
