With 22 years of dough-tossing mastery, Marco is the creative force behind our signature pies. He trained in Naples and brought his love for authentic technique to Berkley.
More than four decades of handcrafted pies, community warmth, and the kind of pizza that keeps bringing people back — generation after generation.
Green Lantern Pizza began as a neighborhood dream in Berkley, Michigan, where a passion for handcrafted food and community connection ignited something special. What started as a single storefront has grown into a beloved local institution — but our values have never changed.
Every pie that leaves our kitchen carries the same commitment to quality that defined us from day one: fresh-made dough, house-blended sauces, and toppings sourced with care. Green Lantern Pizza isn't just a restaurant — it's the place where memories are made over a shared slice.
We prepare our dough fresh daily and source toppings from trusted local and regional suppliers to ensure every bite is at its best.
Berkley is more than our address — it's our family. We've fed generations of local residents, supported schools, and cheered on hometown events.
Our recipes are perfected over decades of practice. No shortcuts, no compromises — just authentic pizza made with genuine love for the craft.
Every decision we make — from the flour we choose to the way we greet you at the door — is guided by three core principles.
To craft exceptional pizza that nourishes connection — bringing families, friends, and neighbors together over food made with integrity, creativity, and care.
To be the most trusted name in pizza across Michigan — recognized not just for flavor, but for the warmth, authenticity, and community spirit we bring to every order.
Whether it's your first visit or your thousandth, you'll always receive the same quality, the same hospitality, and the same dedication to a great pizza experience.
From a humble Berkley storefront to a Michigan institution — here's how Green Lantern Pizza grew into the restaurant you know and love.
Green Lantern Pizza opens its doors on 12 Mile Road in Berkley, Michigan. A small team, a wood-fired spirit, and a neighborhood hungry for something authentic. The line stretches out the door on opening night.
Green Lantern Pizza earns its first "Best Pizza in Berkley" recognition from the local community. Our signature Detroit-style crust becomes the talk of Oakland County, and regulars start driving from across the metro area.
To meet growing demand, we complete a full kitchen expansion and dining room renovation. New specialty pizzas are added to the menu, including our fan-favorite White Garlic Chicken — a recipe that remains unchanged to this day.
We launch our annual "Pizza for Schools" program, donating a portion of every order to local Berkley school fundraisers. Over the following decade, the program raises thousands of dollars and solidifies our role as a true community partner.
Navigating unprecedented challenges, Green Lantern Pizza pivots quickly — launching online ordering, curbside pickup, and contactless delivery. Our community shows up for us, and we show up for them, donating hundreds of pizzas to frontline workers across Oakland County.
Green Lantern Pizza continues to serve Berkley and beyond with the same soul it was founded on. New flavors, new faces, new memories — but the same commitment to handcrafted quality that made us a Michigan legend.
