Pizza In Paris

Pizza in Paris is a family pizzeria in Paris, Michigan, owned by Casey and Megan Councilor and set right along the White Pine Trail, close enough that cyclists and hikers stop in mid-ride. The kitchen hand makes its pizzas to order, and the menu leans into creative combinations beyond the standard pepperoni, including a BLT pizza and a Taco pizza that regulars mention by name. Regulars come back for the crab rangoon pizza specifically, a sweet and spicy take built on a cream cheese base that has become something of a signature. Calzones and stromboli round out the savory side of the menu, and garlic cheese bread, nicknamed Casey bread by regulars, shows up as a frequent add-on order. The kitchen also serves gourmet hot dogs that reviewers compare favorably to Chicago style, and a gluten-free crust option is available for anyone who needs it. The building sits near a county park on the Muskegon River, and more than one camper has picked up a pizza here on the way to a cabin for the night. Outdoor seating in the backyard welcomes dogs, giving cyclists off the trail a place to relax with their pet before heading back out. Despite sitting off the beaten path in a small town most visitors would otherwise drive past, Pizza in Paris has built a following that includes people who drive up from Grand Rapids just for a pizza.
