Family Finest:
Detroit-style pizza with real Detroit style

Detroit’s thick-crust, square-cut deep-dish pizza is finally getting the spotlight it deserves. The folks at Family Finest fine-tuned their recipe for a take-n-bake version, then came to us for a box design that would amp up the “Detroit” in “Detroit-style.”

Made with love

The box is a nod to Detroit’s love of hand-painted signage, ’70s Motown groove, and our city’s rich history of square-cut ‘za.
