Elephant & Co. opens flagship

The fermentation experts who brought Eastern Market Brewing Co. to Detroit have unveiled the flagship location for their new venture, Elephant & Co. This new location at 456 Charlotte Avenue, Detroit is their second – opening their Royal Oak location earlier this year.  The Detroit Elephant & Co. boasts 50 self-serve taps featuring beer from Eastern Market Brewing Co., cider, wine and Detroit-style pizza. “The dough sets our pizza apart,” said Elephant & Co. President, Pauline Knighton-Prueter. “We’re a brewery turned pizza company, and truly understand the importance of fermentation. It’s what’s made us one of Michigan’s fastest-growing breweries and now, Detroit’s best pizza.” Some of Elephant & Co. pizzas do push the boundaries of traditional pizza. The Elote pizza is topped with Mexican street corn blend, diced jalapeno, chorizo, cotija cheese, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Another pizza, the Eugene Krabs, is topped with Wisconsin brick cheese, crab rangoon mix, wontons, sweet chili sauce and green onions. Classic offerings include the Margherita pizza and the Spicy Pepperoni. The new location can seat over 200 people inside and accommodate another 100 guests on the extensive heated patio, which allows it to be open much of the year. 456 Charlotte Avenue, Detroit elephantand.com
