About Green Lantern Pizza
Green lantern pizza has been crafting bold, memorable flavors in Clinton Township, MI since 1998. Discover the passion, people, and purpose behind every slice.
Years of Bold Pizza
A Slice of Our Story
Green lantern pizza was born in a small kitchen in Clinton Township, Michigan, in 1998. Founder Marco DiLorenzo had one dream: to bring the bold, uncompromising flavors of his grandmother's Sicilian recipes to the heart of the Midwest — and make every customer feel like family.
What started as a single storefront with five menu items has grown into a beloved community staple, serving thousands of loyal pizza fans across Clinton Township and beyond. We still hand-stretch every dough, source our tomatoes from the same regional farms, and grate our mozzarella fresh every morning.
"Pizza isn't just food. It's the center of the table, the reason to gather, the memory you carry forever. That's what we're really making here."
Today, green lantern pizza continues to honor those roots while innovating with bold new flavors that keep regulars coming back and newcomers raving. Every pie tells our story — and we can't wait to share it with you.
Our Numbers
Fresh Ingredients
We source locally whenever possible, partnering with Michigan farms for tomatoes, herbs, and seasonal toppings. Freshness isn't a buzzword — it's our standard.
Handmade Craft
Every dough is hand-stretched, every sauce simmered fresh, every pizza assembled with care. We don't cut corners — we cut pizza the right way, with pride.
Community First
Clinton Township is our home. We sponsor local events, support schools, and give back to the community that has given us so much over the past 25+ years.
Bold Innovation
We honor tradition while embracing creativity. Seasonal specials, daring flavor combinations, and constant experimentation keep our menu exciting and alive.
