About The Bricks Story

New World Charm. Old World Roots.

Learn all about The Bricks Pizzeria, where we are much more than just a place to eat. We are proud to be a premier farm to table restaurant Grosse Pointe Park locals gather at, offering an authentic working expression of seasonal cooking through handcrafted sourdough crusts, fresh pastas, and vibrant salads. The idea began with a simple belief: how food comes into being matters as much as the food itself. Every step connects the local growers, our kitchen, and the guests who visit our dining room.

Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, yet our craft centers around our 750° oven where we bake the finest wood fired pizza Grosse Pointe Park has to offer. Sourcing sustainable grains and organic local ingredients Detroit pizza lovers appreciate, we practice time-honored techniques that produce dough with rich flavor, sauces with depth, and toppings with true integrity. Guests are invited to slow down, share a meal, and enjoy the company of friends old and new.

Fox Hollow Farm

Many ingredients begin at Fox Hollow Farm, our privately owned cooperative farm in Metamora, Michigan. The property spans more than 20 acres and follows organic and sustainable practices. We grow grains and produce, tend herbs in greenhouses, and care for chickens and ducks that supply eggs. Active honey bee hives support pollination and biodiversity.

Our sourcing remains local as the farm expands. Partner farms in Michigan and Ohio help meet peak seasonal needs while we maintain strict quality standards. All ingredients are sourced within 100 miles of the restaurant.

Craft You Can Taste

We treat pizza as a craft with clear pillars.

Natural Fermentation

Long, cold fermentation carefully builds unmistakable, deep and complex flavor and creates a light, crisp crust for an incredible pizza.

Stone-Milled Grains

An Osttiroler grain mill transforms our organically grown ancient grains into fresh flour used for pizza dough and house-made pasta.

Wood-Fired Oven

High, even oven heat from a traditional wood-fired oven produces a tender interior and a beautifully blistered exterior.

Fresh Pastas & Salads

House-extruded pasta and hand-crafted seasonal salads showcase peak freshness with balanced flavors and textures.

Ingredients With Integrity

Quality begins in the soil. Our approach favors minimal intervention and maximum freshness. Herbs are clipped at their best, vegetables are harvested at peak ripeness, and grains are milled as needed to protect aroma and nutrition. Eggs from Araucana and other breeds bring natural richness to specialty items. A fried egg atop a pizza remains one of our most requested additions.

People and Relationships

Food connects people. The Bricks celebrates the growers, millers, beekeepers, and cooks who make every dish possible. Guests are part of that circle too. Your feedback shapes the menu, inspires new features, and helps us refine the dining experience.
