Our Story

A Family Recipe Built to Last

It all began in 1955 when the Mikulich family opened a modest pizzeria on Mound Road in Warren, Michigan. Armed with a hand-me-down dough recipe, a wood-fired oven, and an unwavering belief that great pizza comes from great ingredients — they built something the neighborhood quickly fell in love with.

Through the decades, Green Lantern Pizza remained a constant in the community. While the world around us changed, our commitment to fresh, handcrafted pizza never did. We still make our dough from scratch every morning, source our produce locally whenever possible, and hand-stretch every crust to order.

"Pizza is more than food — it's the centerpiece of every celebration, every family dinner, every Friday night. That's what we've been part of for over 70 years."

Today, Green Lantern Pizza continues under family ownership, honoring those original recipes while embracing new favorites. We're proud to serve the same Warren, MI community that first welcomed us with open arms — and we wouldn't have it any other way.
