From the Emmy Squared Pizza announcement:

Known for using artisanal and locally sourced ingredients, Emmy Squared’s unique signature Detroit-style pizza, features a square shape, fluffy focaccia-like dough, and cheesy “frico” crust. Featuring high quality and deliciously unique toppings, each pizza is cooked to perfection in custom-made metal trays dating back to the Motor City itself. The pizza is edged with caramelized, crispy cheese, followed by two “racing” sauce stripes, creating a perfectly airy and crisp texture.

Emmy Squared pizzas include the widely-popular Colony with red sauce, ezzo pepperoni, pickled jalapeños; MVP (Most Valuable Pesto) with house made vodka sauce, red sauce, garlic parsley pesto, and sesame seed crust; and the signature award-wining burger, Le Big Matt, served on a pretzel bun with American cheese, special Sammy sauce, greens, and pickles. Other menu items include delicious salads, hearty sandwiches, as well as gluten free and vegan options.

Gaining critical acclaim and an ever-growing cult following, Emmy Squared Pizza is committed to the community and practice of the company ethos of unparalleled hospitality. Now with 24 locations throughout the United States, Emmy Squared Pizza has expanded across New York City, Washington, DC, Nashville, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Louisville, and Charlotte – and now, Westport.

Emmy Squared Pizza Westport is located at 1 Church Lane, Westport, CT 06880.
