At The Table with Tune-Up Man: Como’s Pizza, a Detroit Legend
If you’re a fan of Detroit-style pizza or love discovering iconic local spots, Como’s Pizza in Ferndale is calling your name. Tune-Up Man from 105.9 Kiss FM recently visited this community favorite for his series At The Table with Tune-Up Man, and it’s safe to say, Como’s is serving up legendary fare.
With over 50 years in business, Como’s Pizza blends tradition with innovation, offering everything from classic Detroit-style pies to loaded brunch dishes. Whether you’re craving a cheesy slice, crispy appetizers, or even a fresh cocktail, Como’s has something to make your taste buds dance.
What Makes Como’s Stand Out?
When you think of Detroit-style pizza, think Como’s. General Manager T.J. Shibbins shared the secret to their success with Tune-Up Man, highlighting their signature blue steel pans and unique cheese blend that create the crispy crust Detroit-style pizza is famous for.
“Since 1961, Como’s has been serving Detroit-style pizza—and we do it as good as anyone, if not the best,” T.J. proudly explained. Whether you’re going for classic options or bold creations like the Joshua J. (featuring pepperoni, spicy honey, and jalapeños), Como’s delivers a pizza experience unlike any other.
It’s no surprise they’ve been voted Detroit’s best gluten-free pizza four years in a row!
Must-Try Menu Highlights
The magic isn’t just in the pizza. Tune-Up Man couldn’t get enough of their flavorful offerings:
- Fried Ravioli Appetizers – Tune-Up Man called the crunch “unbelievable.” Just don’t forget the dip!
- Joshua J. Pizza – Loaded with jalapeños, spicy honey, and pepperoni, this Detroit-style pie is T.J.’s personal favorite.
- Antipasto Salad – A fresh, flavorful mix of ham, salami, crispy bacon, banana peppers, chickpeas, and cheese.
And for brunch fans, Como’s serves delights like customizable open-faced omelets and thick-battered French toast every Saturday and Sunday starting at 10 AM.
The Drink Pairings? Incredible
No trip to Como’s Pizza is complete without a perfectly paired drink from their full bar. Some standout options include the Blackberry Margarita and the Woodward Mule, made with Traverse City whiskey. For something lighter, Tune-Up Man suggests grabbing a Rock & Rye to go with your slice.
Why Como’s Pizza Deserves the Spotlight
For over five decades, Como’s Pizza has been more than just a restaurant—it’s been a community staple where traditions are born and memories are made. With their expertly crafted pizzas, creative menu options, and warm hospitality, it’s no surprise Como’s continues to stand the test of time.
