EAT + DRINK

Blue Pan Pizza (West Highlands) - Detroit-style pizza at its best! The founder and owner are childhood friends of mine and so proud of their award winning Authentic pizza. Growing up, we always ordered the "corner slice" so your slice would have the crusty/cheesy edges found in pizzas baked in blue steel plans imported from Detroit. Amazing gluten free options too!
