MOTOR CITY BREWING WORKS
One of the best pizzerias in Detroit also happens to be a brewery. The original Midtown brewery-pizzeria combo Motor City Brewing Works still serves some of the best brick oven pies in the city.

The brewery offers indoor seating as well as covered and uncovered patio seating both in Midtown and at its newer location on Livernois, the Avenue of Fashion.
