Handcrafted Pizza, Made with Heart

Green Lantern Pizza was born in 1993 when the DiMaggio family opened a small storefront on Hayes Road with one simple belief: great pizza starts with great ingredients and a genuine love of the craft. What began as a neighborhood joint quickly became a Clinton Township institution.

Three decades later, we still hand-stretch every crust, hand-cut every topping, and hand-ladle our signature sauce onto every pie. We've never outsourced our dough to a factory or traded our tomatoes for a cheaper brand. The green lantern pizza you order today is the same recipe that earned us our first loyal regulars in '93.

Our kitchen is small, our team is tight-knit, and our standards are high. That's the way it's always been — and the way it'll always stay.

  • Hand-stretched dough made fresh every morning
  • Locally sourced produce and premium meats
  • Signature red sauce slow-simmered in-house
  • Family-owned and operated since 1993
