About Cloverleaf

The Origins of Detroit Style Pizza

Cloverleaf founder Gus Guerra developed a game-changer in the pizza market. What we now know as the “Detroit Style” square pizza was unheard of seven decades ago in Detroit, or anywhere else. He had one main goal in mind: to create the very best pizza the Detroit area had ever tasted.

The Birth of the “Original Motor City Square”

His creation was an immediate success, no one had ever tasted anything quite like this before. This wasn’t just any pizza; it was the original deep-dish pizza, a revolutionary square-shaped pie baked to perfection, giving rise to what we now know as Motor City Square pizza. Today, we honor the original deep-dish pizza origin by continuing to serve this fan-favorite across all our locations.

Perfecting the Detroit Style Pizza Recipe

The original Cloverleaf has earned much of its success on the eastside due to customers making this their regular destination for Detroit-style pizza and family tradition. Our pizza in Eastpointe has been a favorite for generations, attracting pizza lovers from all over, including those searching for the best pizza deals and the best quality. The original Cloverleaf family recipe hasn’t changed in 68 years, standing by the premium quality that customers have continued to love for generations. After all, the best pizza is a Cloverleaf pizza.

Cloverleaf has received many awards for its legendary pizza since 1946. The most recent award was one of the ‘101 Best Pizzas in America’ by the Daily Meal. If you’re looking for a pizza franchise that values tradition and quality, consider Cloverleaf Pizza as a model of excellence.
