Fricano's Pizza Tavern

Fricano's Pizza Tavern remains the original and most famous pizza and pizzeria in West Michigan

What started as an old boarding house in the late 1800's became the first restaurant to serve pizza in West Michigan. In 1949 the late Cosimo (Gus) Fricano, founded what is believed to be the first pizzeria in West Michigan with our original thin crust pizza pie. Very little has changed in the 7 decades since here at Fricano's Pizza Tavern, and we are still at our original building at 1400 Fulton St in Grand Haven.

Fricano's ultra thin pizza crust is one of the thinnest on Earth! At 1.5mm (less than 1/16") throughout the entire pizza, it is truly remarkable, especially for not being a hard "cracker" type crust. The incredible Fricano’s pizza crust was invented 75 years ago! It’s an absolutely amazing, complicated crust recipe with a lot of ingredients, but none of the potentially unhealthy processed ingredients or dough conditioners invented since. It performs incredible in our super hot ovens and holds the heavy toppings of an EBA. It’s a very high performance pizza crust that rarely burns, is nice and crispy but not too hard, tastes wonderful and has great texture and color. This crust makes Fricano's Pizza possible! Enjoy!
