Hand-Crafted, Wood-fired Pizza
2009 Lakeshore Dr. Muskegon, MI 43.2154° N, 86.2930° W
About Us:
We believe that good food is a catalyst — the thing that pulls people together, turns strangers into regulars, and makes a random Wednesday feel like an occasion. A great pizza doesn't just feed you; it gives you a reason to gather. That belief is the whole reason Lakeside Pizza Co. exists.
Founded in May 2025 in Muskegon, MI, with no prior restaurant experience — just a deep passion for great food. We spent that first summer experimenting, learning the art and science of pizza, and that process shaped our core philosophy: great wood-fired pizza starts with the highest quality ingredients, prepared simply. Our wood-fired pizzas and Detroit-style deep dish are hand-crafted, with menu options intentionally curated to feature that quality and simplicity in interesting ways. We're passionate about our food's connection to local ingredients, and we love highlighting the amazing local farms, fruits, and vegetables grown in our Lakeshore region.
This will always be the standard. Starting with a “Poolish,” pre-ferment, our dough cold ferments for 48-72 hours — no shortcuts, no same-day dough, just time, that adds flavor and complexity to our crust. Utilizing Caputo Italian Flours, Grande mozzarella and imported Italian tomatoes, we’ve learned that high quality ingredients happen as a result of growers and producers who demand the highest standard in their own operations. It's simple food, made the hard way, because the hard way is the only way it comes out right — and because people can tell the difference, even if they can't always explain why.
But Lakeside Pizza Co. was never just about the pizza. It was also about the community we joined. It’s so important, it’s part of our namesake! We think the Lakeside neighborhood in Muskegon, MI is a hidden gem along the West Michigan Lakeshore. Located at 2009 Lakeshore Dr. directly between Downtown Muskegon, and Pere Marquette Beach, our uniquely positioned neighborhood has an amazing blend of retail, and hospitality businesses that support all of our neighbors. Across the street from the Lake Express Ferry and Muskegon Lakeshore Trail, we are here for you to enjoy a West Michigan evening that makes you glad you live here or glad you came to visit. We wanted a pizzeria that fit that feeling and fed it: good food bringing neighbors, families, and friends back to the same tables, week after week.
We're takeout-only, which was a deliberate choice. It keeps us focused on what matters: the oven, the dough, the ingredients — the things that make people want to come back and bring someone else with them next time.
A little over a year in, we're still a small operation — still learning, still tweaking, still chasing the version of this pizza that's even better than yesterday's. But the ethos hasn't moved an inch: real ingredients, real fire, real care, and a genuine belief that a great pie is one of the simplest ways to bring people together.
