These 15 Pizza Joints In Michigan Will Make Your Taste Buds Go Crazy
New York, Chicago, both places known worldwide for their pizza. But smack in the middle of both is Michigan, where the pizza more than holds its own. Detroit put the deep square pizza on the map. National pizza chains like Little Caesar’s and Domino’s both got their starts in Michigan. And tucked in cities across the state are flavor combinations that can’t be found anywhere else in the country, and that’s just the way we like it. Here, we’ve selected some of the most beloved pizzerias across the Mitten State for your drooling pleasure.
There's nothing quite the crispy, cheesy corners of a Buddy's square pizza, doing it the Detroit way for generations.

We can't decide what's better, Michigan-brewed beer or its pizza. Luckily at this famous brewery, we don't have to pick one or the other.
The secret to the success of this Grand Haven joint seems to be simplicity, with a short menu of only five toppings and a cracker-thin crust.
What started as an Italian immigrant-owned bar in the 1960s, has since evolved into a Lansing pizza legend, with unorthodox flavors like baked potato pizza.
This spot is a Bay City favorite, known for its premium ingredients like cheese that comes from grass-fed Wisconsin cows.
Topped with a twirl of secret yellow sauce, bacon and fried chicken bits, this pie is nationally known.
This swirly beauty takes its cue from the Mexican-style tostada and is a UP favorite.
If you like it HOT, we dare you to try a slice of this Bengali-inspired ghost pepper pizza. Other spicy favorites include the aptly-named spice, naga or tandoori pizzas.
If you're from the Detroit area, you're well aware of the decades-long rivalry between Buddy's and this Hazel Park establishment. Loui's is a serious contender for best Detroit-style square pizza. We'll let you decide which reigns supreme.
This Flint shop has gotten national praise from the likes of Thrillist for its solid, old-school offerings.
Another spot known for its thin crust, this place isn't afraid to top its pizzas with locally-sourced produce, for a lighter alternative.
The secret's in the dough at T. Dub's, which gets its unique blend sent over from Maine several times a week. Pictured here, its famous Harbormaster pie.
Another square beauty, this Cheboygan spot gets mighty packed, but locals swear it's worth the wait.
These pies are "New Haven" thin and prepared in a brick oven.
Tossed in a wood-fire oven, this adventurous traditional Italian-style pie regularly tops any pizza lover's lists.
