What truly makes Emmy Squared Pizza an exceptional choice for your next meal is the unique combination of its innovative menu, high-quality ingredients, and welcoming atmosphere.

Beyond the pizzas, our menu offers something for every palate. The Le Big Matt burger, a double-stack patty with our famous Sammy Sauce, is a legendary item that has garnered a loyal following. It’s the perfect choice if you're looking for a hearty and satisfying handheld. Our seasoned waffle fries are also a highlight, often noted for their generous portion size and delicious flavor.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Had a delicious lunch at this Detroit style pizza spot. The MVP pizza was just the right combination of crunchy, cheesy and saucy perfection. Try the watermelon burrata salad (Summer menu only!) if on the menu, it’s so sweet, salty, spicy, and tangy. The portions are quite large especially the fries so it’s easy to overorder. Great attentive service and nice atmosphere.
June 28 · Petrit NdrioI was here on March 22nd, 2025. We ordered pepperoni pizza. Tasted great. For two person you might wanna go with 10 slices if you are really hungry
March 22 · Edyth FernandezFirst time dining here after living in the area for almost 4 years. It did not disappoint! Caesar was a great waiter and made great recommendations. The butternut squash and brussels were amazing and the pizza is some of the best I have ever had in the city! Will definitely be going again and could not recommend more!
February 20 · Hanna SarosyWell rounded mocktails a kick to the throat and that's some the food is amazing The chef is even better and the staff are to die.
June 21 · Fiona FernandesDelicious pizzas, enjoyed by the whole family! I always like the brussel sprout salad. Cocktails are also great as well!
