Michigan & Trumbull Cadieux E Pepe

The Cadieux E Pepe pizza from Michigan & Trumbull is a clever, pizza-based interpretation of the classic Roman pasta dish, cacio e pepe. This distinctive white pizza features a simple yet elegant combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic oil, and a generous load of freshly cracked black pepper, all on their signature lacy-edged, Detroit-style crust. This minimalist and flavorful pie is priced at $13.

The Cadieux E Pepe is popular for its bold yet sophisticated flavor, which allows the quality of the dough, the savory cheeses, and the sharp bite of the pepper to shine without a red sauce. This pizza is often compared to the minimalist white pizzas at other acclaimed Detroit pizzerias, such as the classic Pizza Bianca at Supino Pizzeria or the simple cheese-and-garlic focused white pies at Pie-Sci.

Michigan & Trumbull is a celebrated pizzeria located in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood. Its story is rooted in Detroit pride, founded by natives Kristen and Nate Peck who first launched their concept as a popular pop-up in Pittsburgh before returning home to open a permanent location. The restaurant is known for its focus on seasonal produce and for perfecting the city's signature pizza style, particularly their lacy-edged crusts that are light and airy on the inside with a perfectly crisp, caramelized cheese perimeter.
