OC Restaurant Quest: Pine Knob Wine Shoppe Pizzeria
(Crystal Proxmire, May 29, 2023)
Clarkston, MI – The Pine Knob Wine Shop is a staple of the Clarkston community, with a party store full of alcoholic selections as well as grab-and-go foods, PLUS the pizzeria which is our focus today.
As we aim to try every restaurant in Oakland County, we could not miss this popular pizza place.
Ordering online has limited options, but if you download their full menu, you’ll see the wonderful specialty pizzas they have to offer.
My choice was the Gryo pizza, topped with Tzatziki sauce, gyro meat, lemon juice, tomato slices, red onions, parsley, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. I love the idea of taking this classic Greek sandwich and putting it in pizza form.
Other delicious sounding choices include the Baked Potato pizza with sour cream, potatoes, bacon, green onions and cheddar cheese, as well as the Taco Pizza with salsa, ground beef, taco seasoning, onions, green peppers, banana peppers, diced tomatoes and cheddar.
There is even a breakfast pizza topped with olive oil, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, and basil.
Of course there are other more self-explanatory favorites like the Meat Lovers, Veggie Lovers, Chicken Alfredo, and BBQ Chicken.
Also on he menu are broasted chicken dinners, baby back ribs, shrimp and fried fish options, subs, and sandwiches. One can even order a Pine Knob burger which is made with fresh ground Angus beef, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onion, cheese and mayo, with the option of adding bacon.
There are also dessert choices like banana cake, carrot cake, apple pie and baklava. And there are even more dessert choices in the cooler of the party store, which is where I picked out a delicious strawberry short cake slice.
While the name may be shared with a certain concert venue, this Pine Knob is located a little down the road at 5726 Maybee Road in Clarkston. Visit them online at https://pineknobws.com/
