Green lantern pizza was born in 2009 in the heart of Troy, Michigan, from a simple belief: that great pizza starts with honest ingredients and genuine passion. What began as a neighbourhood slice shop on Rochester Road has grown into one of the most beloved pizza destinations in the region, serving thousands of happy customers every month.
Our founder, Marcus Green, spent years perfecting his dough recipe — a slow-fermented sourdough base that gives every green lantern pizza its signature crust: crispy on the outside, airy and chewy within. Every sauce is made fresh daily, every topping sourced from local Michigan farms whenever possible.
We partner with Michigan farms for fresh produce, cheeses, and meats — supporting our community with every order.
No shortcuts, no frozen bases. Every pizza is hand-stretched and baked fresh in our wood-fired stone oven.
From local school fundraisers to neighbourhood events, Green lantern pizza is proud to give back to Troy.
To craft exceptional pizza that brings people together — one slice at a time.
At Green lantern pizza, we believe food is more than fuel. It's a moment of connection, a reason to gather, a memory in the making. Our mission is to deliver that experience consistently — through superior ingredients, skilled hands, and genuine hospitality — to every customer who walks through our door or places an order.
These core values guide every decision we make — from how we source ingredients to how we treat our team and community.
We never compromise on ingredients or technique. Every pizza that leaves our kitchen meets our exacting standards — or it doesn't leave at all.
Honest ingredients, honest prices, and honest service. We believe trust is built one interaction at a time, and we honour that every day.
From compostable packaging to our local sourcing programme, we're committed to reducing our environmental footprint one order at a time.
