A Look at Pizzerias around the U.S.
Hunny’s Pizza | Saline, Michigan
Pizzapreneur Hunter Leslie is garnering attention for his Detroit-style pizza. He founded Hunny’s Pizza. “I think what defines us most here at Hunny’s is that we are truly the only non-chain operating pizza place in our small town of Saline, and we take great pride in that fact,” Leslie says. “We’re trying to create the best Detroit-style pizza around. With that being said, we definitely stand-out by being a food truck who moves very infrequently and sticks to our local spot in front of a local bakery.” Leslie is constantly trying out new pizza specials. “We ran a Chorizo Taco Pizza special for Cinco de Mayo, and it was a hit! People may convince us to put it on our everyday menu. It started with our signature cheese blend (whole milk Mozz/ Prov/ Wisconsin brick) a spicy juicy chorizo, red onion, thick-cut bacon, salsa and finished with cilantro and hot sauce.”
Benzina | Denver, Colorado
A former gas station has been transformed into a brand new modern and chic pizzeria. Benzina has an expansive patio featuring bocce courts and urban planters. The menu features seasonal salads, family-style appetizers, Neapolitan-inspired pizza, handmade pastas, protein entrees prepared on a charcoal oven. Pizzas include the Clam with clam cream, parsley, lemon and hot pepper. There is also the Carbonara with prosciutto, créme fraiche, onion, black pepper and egg yolk.
Stina Pizzeria | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This South Philly spot just celebrated its two-year anniversary with a party and donation to a local youth center. Stina has given over $10K to more than a dozen organization. During the pandemic, the pizzeria built a beautiful “streetery” outdoor dining experience. Stina’s menu features wood-fired pizza and Mediterranean fare.
