When you have a hungry family, going out for pizza is the perfect way to keep everyone happy. At Star Lincoln, we love eating Italian, so we've picked three of the best pizza restaurants near Southfield, MI for you to try. Bigalora Wood Fired Cucina Bigalora was founded by chef Luciano Del Signore, who learned his trade growing up in his Italian parent's pizza restaurant. The pizzas here are made from a unique fermented pizza dough known as biga, and we can confirm that the results are delicious. Bigalora's pizza menu is split into two - red and white pizzas, which are with or without tomato. There's an excellent selection of small plates, including wood-roasted olives and prosciutto e grana. Salad lovers are well catered for too, with tasty creations such as ancient grain salad and Italian tuna. In addition, Bigalora has a fine choice of pasta meals - the spaghetti and meatballs are perfect. You can find Bigalora Wood Fired Cucina at 29110 Franklin Rd. more Crispelli's Bakery & Pizzeria Crispelli's has a great combination of tradition and modernity. The pizzas are made at 700 degrees in their stone-fired oven, which you can watch being made in front of you by their artisan Pizzaiola pizza maker. We love watching the Pizzaiola at work, and the resulting thin-crust gourmet pizzas are well worth the visit. The restaurant has many soups and salads, including a soup and salad combo for those who wish to try both. As you would expect from a bakery, their sandwiches are made from freshly baked bread, with a side of pickle, kettle chips, salad, or french fries. We like the Italian panini, and you can also have caprese, patty melt, and grilled chicken club. The restaurant is at 931 N. Main St. Royal Oak. PizzaPapalis PizzaPapalis was started by Joe Sheena, who visited Chicago in the 1980s and tried the Chicago-style deep-dish pizza there. He liked it so much that he started PizzaPapalis. Every pizza is made from Wisconsin cheese, Italian tomatoes, and a custom flour grain from a small mill in Kansas. The deep-dish pizzas here are great, and the restaurant also has thin-crust and Detroit-style pizzas. The restaurant has some excellent sandwiches, with both classic subs and ciabatta sandwiches to tempt your tastebuds. Their wings are really good - you can get them regular or boneless, and there are several different sauces to choose from. As well as the pizzas, they also have calzones and some classic pasta dishes. PizzaPapalis is located at 23703 Greenfield. When you're taking your family for pizza, you want to have a stylish, luxurious SUV with plenty of space. The 2023 Lincoln Aviator three-row large luxury SUV holds seven people in comfort, even after a delicious Italian meal.

Are you experiencing problems shifting gears or unusual noises from your Lincoln? If so, it could be an indication that the vehicle needs a transmission repair. Star Lincoln is equipped to diagnose and handle all types of repairs for your car's transmission, from identifying potential issues to recommending appropriate parts and components for replacement. Check out these signs that could indicate a transmission issue with your vehicle. 1. Strange Noises When in Neutral Strange noises coming from your car can indicate many issues, from something as simple as a loose heat shield to something more serious like transmission failure. However, if you're hearing these types of noises when you're driving in neutral, then it's a sure sign that you're dealing with an issue related to the transmission. These strange noises could range from a clicking sound when accelerating to whining and grinding that increase with speed. more 2. Trouble Shifting Gear Whether you're in a manual transmission car or an automatic, there should be a seamless transition from one gear to the next with no unexpected stuttering or lurching. If you find yourself having difficulty changing gears, it could be an indication that your transmission needs to be looked at and possibly repaired. Possible causes might include leaking fluid, broken seals, problems with linkage components, worn out clutches, and more. 3. Leaking Transmission Fluid Transmission fluid acts as a lubricant and cleaner to ensure all moving parts in the system are working properly. The fluid is usually red and translucent with a slightly sweet odor. If you notice a pool of this liquid in your driveway after you move your car, then it's likely that there's a leak originating in the transmission. Continuing to drive your vehicle with such a leak will increase the risk of permanent damage to the transmission system. If the transmission fluid is actively leaking, don't risk driving your car to a repair shop. Instead, contact your local dealer immediately for towing services. 4. Burning Smell When the transmission fluid becomes too hot, it starts to burn, producing that distinct smell. This is usually because the transmission fluid is running low or something is not quite right in the transmission system. How Long Does It Take To Fix Transmission Issues at a Lincoln Dealer? Minor fixes or replacements might require only an hour or two in the shop, while more serious problems can take over a day to diagnose and repair. Each transmission issue comes with its own set of challenges, and the length of time it takes to fix varies greatly depending on the problem at hand. If you suspect that something may be wrong with your car's transmission, contact Star Lincoln today for professional help. Our factory-trained technicians use industry-leading tools and technologies to meet all your vehicle repair needs.

Your Lincoln is a great investment, and you want to protect it. Regular services according to your service schedule will reduce the cost of repairs, and can even prevent the need for them. Your Lincoln dealership has a wide variety of services to keep your car working perfectly. These are a few of the services we have available. Tire Checks Your Lincoln depends on its tires to get you where you need to go. As you drive, your tires will gradually wear down due to friction with the road surface. This process is gradual, but it will eventually have a noticeable effect on your car's performance. Worn tires take longer to come to a stop, and they also increase the strain on your engine, axles, and other components. We recommend regular tire rotations to ensure your tires wear down at a stable rate. Our technicians can check your tires for signs of bubbles, worn tread, cuts, and general wear. We will also adjust your tire balance to enable them to perform at their best. When the time comes to replace your tires, we have all the major tire brands available in the correct size for your car. more Alternator Replacement The alternator is a mini generator that produces electricity for your car's systems. It works quietly and efficiently, converting mechanical power for the turning crankshaft into the DC your car's systems require. An alternator has a long lifespan of approximately eight years, but it will wear out and start to malfunction. Since the alternator generates electricity, any malfunctions will affect your car's electrical supply. Some signs of a worn alternator include dim headlights and cabin lights, electrical system glitches, and even misfiring from a lack of electricity to the spark plugs. A failing alternator will also impact your battery as the alternator won't fully charge the battery. Alternator problems take time to develop, and there are always signs it's failing. We can easily test your alternator and replace it with a new one. Transmission Service The transmission is one of the most complex parts of your car. This complexity is due to its job of converting your engine's power into a usable form to move the wheels. There are hundreds of parts in the transmission. Many of these parts depend on friction to work effectively, and all move at high speed. A small problem in the transmission can easily lead to a costly repair. Transmission service prevents problems from occurring. Our technicians will look for any potential problems as they service your transmission. If we find an issue, we can repair it for you and preempt a future problem. If you'd like to know more about our services or to book a service, call us today at Star Lincoln.
