Gracie See Pizzeria

This blog is about the things that I love. I love my family. And I also love the city of Detroit. Today's blog combines both. My husband's family owns a pizzeria in Detroit in the Warrendale neighborhood. It was opened by his grandfather in 1969 and he named it after his daughter (my mother-in-law). And now she's the owner, along with her brother. It's a fantastic place, filled with original decor plus new and exciting additions. The only thing better than the food are the regulars. People who have made the Gracie See Pizzeria family a part of their own family.
Speaking of the food. The pizza is what turns a customer into a regular. Everything is handmade. It takes skill, patience, experience, and pride to make a Gracie's pie. And the ones that can actually do it, do it very well. It's what separates them from everyone else. They use great ingredients, stick to what has worked since pizza was invented and they see every pizza a work of art.
But for me there is an even bigger advantage than free pizza. It's a place my children will grow up knowing. It will be their first job. They will learn about work ethic, money, people, and so on. But most importantly they will learn how to cook. They will make the same recipes made by their great grandparents. The same recipes that made Detroit fall in love with the little pizzeria in Warrendale.

Now that's a pretty impressive legacy if you ask me.
