The Best Pizza in Downtown Detroit
I am guessing that you are probably wondering which pizza spot I am talking about when I say that the best pizza in Downtown Detroit is set to reopen. I’m talking about Supino Pizzeria! Now, I know we are serious about pizza here in Detroit, so you may want challenge me on it being the best, but I will explain why I love it so much later. But first, let’s talk about the history of this Eastern Market staple, why it closed, and when it’s set to reopen.
The History of Supino Pizzeria the Best Pizza in Downtown Detroit
When i first started going to Supino, it was in their original location in Eastern Market shown in the picture above. That was opened by the owner Dave Mancini in 2008. There was the kitchen, check out counter, and probably 6 tables at most. Most people would order it for carry-out. They then went on to expand the location next door in 2017 which increased the inside seating area ten-fold.
Why I love Supino Pizzeria
I guess everyone thinks that because you are from Detroit, you must love Detroit-Style pizza. While I have no issue with it at all, I prefer a thin slice of east coast style pizza. And that’s exactly what I get when I go to Supino Pizzeria. The pizza is just such great quality. In addition to the pizza, they have great Italian appetizers like Fagioli which is, according to their website, “Sheridan farm braised beans with pickled tomatoes.” Plus, you cant forget about dessert. I love their Katies Cannoli. And pssstttt don’t tell anyone I told you this, but you can also get carryout wine & drinks! Lovefood.com has even named it the best pizza in Michigan.
Why Supino Pizzeria Had to Close
Unfortunately, on April 24, 2023 in a fire that started in an apartment above the location. This caused significant damages from water before the Detroit Fire Department was able to extinguish the fire. It has been closed for repairs since that time.
