Pizza. A food loved by all and what some would consider a universal food group. From deep dish to New York style and Detroit brick oven to Neopolitan, the pizza pie has evolved over the years, making it a staple in the average persons diet.

Locally owned and full of a whole lotta love. This Italian restaurant sure knows how to make a good pizza that keeps their loyal customers coming back for more. Potato slices on a pizza? You got it. How about a taco style? You betcha. DeLuca's continues to come up with distinct creations that have voted them "Best of the Best" for 17 consecutive years. They said it best themselves, "pizza sauce runs through our veins"!
The Chicago style pizza you're craving right here in the heart of East Lansing! Pizza House is the most popular game day destination for a reason. With crust options ranging from, thin to stuffed Chicago style, they have all the favorites for any fan of a good pizza pie. The best part is, they are open until 4 AM, providing the perfect slice for those late night munchies.

That's right, Cottage Inn offers a gluten free crust on any of their pizzas. Your days of never thinking you can eat pizza again are gone.

Bring in the friends and family and try one of their specialty pizzas including their biggest hit, the Neighborhood Special.
Located in downtown Williamston, Tavern 109 is the local restaurant featuring many comforting favorites. With a wide menu their pizza can sometimes be overlooked but let me tell you, their pizza is ICONIC. Tavern 109 offers cauliflower crust for all those who are gluten intolerant or anyone looking to try the latest trend in pizza (that would be me). I highly recommend making your way to Williamston to try one of their fun pizzas!
