supino pizzeria... detroit thin crust done right.. supino pizzeria is known to many as detroit’s best pizza. i am ashamed to say that i only recently visited supino’s. as many times as i have walked by there, i have always had other meal plans or the line was out the door and i was too impatient. i am disappointed that i have been missing out on that thin crust deliciousness all this time, but plan to make myself a regular anytime i am downtown detroit. supino’s has been recognized on many best of detroit lists, by guy fieri on food network’s diners, drive-ins and dives, and is truly a favorite of many real detroiters... need i say more?
supino’s has a simple, but creative menu. they have the option of a 12 or 18′′ pizza. you can also grab it by the slice; they offer cheese, pepperoni, or the specialty of the day for around less than $3. a 12′′ cheese or pepperoni pie is less than $10 while an 18′′ specialty pizza will run you around $17. the pizzas are categorized by red pizza (with sauce) and white pizza (without sauce); many tasty options under each category. you also have the option of building your own. they also offer pasta, salad... the mancini with homemade lemon-basil citronette was incredible, and cannolis for dessert. no booze here, just pop or water.
supino’s truly has the small, classic pizzeria feel. there are only about 5 tables in the whole place, a small counter to order at, and people everywhere. they seem like they are always busy, which is a good sign. the nice thing about supino’s is it is located in eastern market, so if you are insistent on sitting at a table and enjoying your meal, you can walk around and keep yourself busy while you wait to be seated. many people just pop in to grab a pizza or a slice on the go.
