Supino Pizzeria has been crowned the best Italian restaurant in Michigan. It is located in Detroit – but it’s not serving up Detroit-style pizza. It’s a thin pizza the restaurant describes as “East-Coast style.” It actually sounds like it might be similar to the iconic Pizza Napoletana of Naples, Italy.

The dining destination has eight red sauces and five whites, with your choice of plenty of toppings like smoked ham, house-made Italian sausage, smoked chicken, pepperoni, and a variety of veggies and cheeses. There’s lots of specials too. Below is the “The Harvest” featuring roasted butternut squash, fried sage, smoked Gouda and parmigiano reggiano!

Here’s Lovefood’s praise for Supino Pizzeria:
This legendary restaurant in Detroit’s Eastern Market is loved for its gargantuan pepperoni pies and white (no sauce) pizzas, such as the spinach, feta, white onion, and Kalamata olive option. Partnering up with local producers, Supino Pizzeria champions organic ingredients. Be sure to follow your pizza with a house-made cannoli, stuffed with chocolate sauce and pistachios.

Pizza isn’t all that’s on the menu though. You’ll find cheese bread, meatballs, fagioli, short rib lasagna, chicken parmigiana, black garlic and wild mushroom fettucine, and more. Plus, there’s a daily pasta special.
Can’t forget dessert, right? Indulge in affogato, panna cotta, and take a look at this pistachio and chocolate cannoli!

Supino has two locations in Detroit: Eastern Market and New Center.
Of course, not everyone will agree on the best Italian restaurant in Michigan. A different publication named this eatery in Traverse City as tops.
