PizzaPlex

Come join us tomorrow for pizza and puppy dogs!!! 🍕🐾❤️

As you know, our last day of service is next week 2/27. PizzaPlex is the only source of income for most of our staff. Please share and donate if you can to help support them through this transition! Link in bio.

Dear PizzaPlex friends, followers, and family,

Nearly seven years ago, a backyard pizza hobby spiraled happily out of control, when a group of friends with excellent karaoke song portfolios and skills ventured to bring their love for people and planet and pizza to others. Thus was born PizzaPlex, a place to celebrate the intersectionality within each of us, with a nod to the Neapolitan pizza that baked in these dreams of a more equitable food service industry and respect for the hands behind each step of the food procurement and preparing process.

From the Neapolitan oven we sourced, to the events we hosted, to the team members who helped write and tell our story over the years, to the introduction of Filipino dishes on our menu - we made every single decision with deep intention, and we all tried our best.

So, after years of living that dream, we share with heavy hearts that we have made the tough but necessary decision to close PizzaPlex after this month is over. Our last day open to the public will be on Feb. 27, when we enjoy Carpano cocktails and, of course, damn good food together.

If we want to leave you all with anything beyond memories of eating Detroit’s only certified Verace Pizza Napoletana - it’s this: the reassurance to listen to and be yourself. All the time. Because the person you are is bellissimo, and we wish you may embrace and love yourself fully for the Whole Person you are. PizzaPlex always hoped we could be a place where you saw that in you. Please enjoy our last Thursday PizzaYOLO class this month and final party - Carpano Industry night on Feb. 27 (link to tickets in our bio). Also, please support our incredible team during this time of sudden transition by checking out the GoFundMe page our dear friend of PizzaPlex, Anne, launched here: https://gofund.me/afc8c548

As we say in Naples - A vita è ‘n’affacciata ‘e fenesta. Life is a view from a window - things can get real hard real often, and then equally amazing in a single breath; so enjoy the view from wherever you are. It’s been real, and wild, and wonderful lookout from this window.

Grazie di cuore a tutti,
Team PizzaPlex
