Via 313 will bring its Detroit-style pizzas, as well as a new tavern-style pizza, to Oak Hill in March, co-owner Zane Hunt said.
The food truck's first brick-and-mortar location will be in Flores Mexican Restaurant's former location in the Oak Hill Centre shopping center.
The location will feature Via 313's full menu of pizzas, as well as a rotating list of seasonal pizzas, such as Sicilian-style pizzas.
Hunt described the tavern-style pizzas as 12-inch pies with thin, chewy crusts. Via 313 previewed the new menu item at various pop-up events in November and December.
The new location will also serve beer and wine as well as desserts.
"We are pizza lovers," Hunt said. "We are not in it to get a quick buck. We grew up in southeast Michigan. There was a terrific regional style of pizza there in Detroit-style pizza. We want [the restaurant] to be a celebration of pizza. I know it sounds cheesy, but that's what we want."
