They take both cash and credit (I hear that’s a new development). When I hit that point, I called in my order for a large pepperoni pizza. I put the restaurant in my GPS from East Lansing so I knew when I would be about 25 minutes. The space is dimly lit by hanging lights from the finished ceiling. Tables are crammed into a space that pops with a black and white checkerboard floor and exposed brick walls. There is a large dining room which was almost full. Pizza peels were flying around and pizzas were being slid into boxes as fast at they could be folded. There is an order counter in the back that looks into the kitchen where organized chaos appeared to be the them on this busy Friday nights. The restaurant is a great classic pizzeria. This location in the heart of Marshall opened late last year in the beginning of December. The others are in Colon, Bronson, Union City, Coldwater, and Homer. The Marshall location is one of six for the pizzeria. It looks like the building may have been a Schlotsky’s at one point before it became home to this local pizza chain. Both had something that would work but I chose the Marshall one since I’d be a little closer to home by then.įive Star Pizza is in downtown Marshall on Michigan Avenue just west of Jefferson Street.

I looked at places in Charlotte and Marshall because they were the bigger towns and closest to the highway on the way home. Every little town has it’s own pizza place so I had a lot to choose from between East Lansing and Kalamazoo. I wanted to take advantage of being away from home to find a new pizza place.

J went ahead and got pizza for her and the kids from Cottage Inn on KL Avenue like we do quite often. Last Friday I was stuck in Lansing pretty late for work. Everyone knows Friday night is pizza night, right? I mean, that’s a universal thing…right?
