It's the site of an old Mr. Fables hamburger joint but it transformed into a Fricano's Pizza very nicely. Everything is in place for its patrons to enjoy the delicious flavor of the "original and most famous pizza pie in Michigan". The initial reaction of the customers is overwhelmingly happy and satisfied with the new look and the continued good service and flavor of the new place.

It’s a recipe like none other anywhere. An authentic Italian recipe that blends just the right amounts of high quality cheese, spices, and toppings baked to a golden brown, crispy texture to create this unforgettable flavor and taste. No ham, no onions, no olives are available as a topping, just A-1 pepperoni, USDA Grade A Italian sausage (seasoned and mixed in-house,) imported canned mushrooms, diced green peppers, and anchovies. That’s all the toppings needed to deliver the delicious and authentic Italian flavor sought after by so many pizza lovers for so many years. Supporting all the tasty toppings is probably the best pizza cheese money can buy. Don’t ask a Fricano what kind of cheese it is ‘cause you won’t get an answer. It is one of the secret ingredients that makes this pizza pie so unique. Just the smell alone as it bakes away in the oven will assure you that it is truly a special blend not used by many if any others at all. It’s a recipe Doug Fricano is very proud of. His Father and Grandmother worked some real magic in Gramma’s kitchen over 60 years ago. But Doug’s dad Gus insisted that nothing is mysterious about our pizzas, except that if any food is to turn out tasty, quality ingredients, accurate proportions and care in its preparation are important. |
