Bringing a taste of New York to Michigan

New York Pizza Pie opened over five years ago in Rochester Hills and has recently added a second location in Birmingham at 33901 Woodward Avenue. The business is owned by Jason McCallum who has deep roots in the restaurant industry as part of the family behind Tubby’s Sub Shops, founded in 1968 in St. Clair Shores. McCallum considers the Birmingham New York Pizza Pie store to be the first official franchise location, while the Rochester Hills location will function as the main corporate hub and training center. A key philosophy of New York Pizza Pie is its commitment to freshness. “We make our own sausage, all of our produce is fresh—nothing comes from a can,” McCallum explains. “The dough is made fresh daily and we grate our own cheese,” he added. While freshness sets them apart, it’s the New York-style pizza that truly distinguishes them from other competitors. “We are playing off the New York-style pizza which really doesn’t have anyone else that is trying to take over that lane in Michigan,” he said. By definition, a New York-style pizza, which is often served by the slice, is characterized by its thin, yet foldable and sturdy crust, a generous amount of cheese and flavorful tomato sauce.  New York Pizza Pie has slices to go along with many other options including several varieties of full pizza pies (including a gluten free crust option) calzones, salads, pastas, wings and desserts (also with gluten-free options). 33901 Woodward Avenue, Birmingham nypizzapie.com
