The top choice for crafted pizza in Nashville.In 2014, Emily and Matt opened their first restaurant in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, with a goal to create quality pies. A trip to Detroit changed everything: they loved the local style, the crispy cheese edge, airy dough, and bold red sauce. They knew pairing this base with chef-inspired toppings would be special.Back in Brooklyn, they began experimenting with organic flour, aged cheeses, fresh tomatoes, and combinations like truffle/mushrooms or pesto/Calabrian chilies, perfecting that crave-worthy cheese crust. In 2016, they unveiled their Detroit-style take with Emmy Squared Pizza. They remain committed to crafting the country's most thoughtful pizzas. We hope you enjoy them!Detroit-Style Soul, Brooklyn Born.
