"A beloved Metro Detroit pizzeria that traces its roots more than 60 years back to when Thomas and Irene Vettraino bought an old farmhouse bar marked by a Prohibition-era green lantern. The mini-chain serves three styles of pizza but is especially known for a Detroit-style pan pie topped with a thick layer of melty cheese and perfectly curled pepperoni cups that leave little pools of grease; unlike the traditional version, the sauce is placed beneath the cheese. The Madison Heights favorite, which also has a Clinton Township location, is opening a 5,200-square-foot Berkley outpost near 12 Mile this fall; the new space will include a full bar and the same menu of round pies and Detroit-style squares, the owner says." - Brenna Houck
