Pieology Pizzeria - West Bloomfield, West Bloomfield Township

Though it’s affectionately defined by the owners as "the study of custom pizza," Pieology represents more than a novelty academic field—it's an expression of creativity, individuality, and community. The core concept behind the gourmet, personalized, artisan-style pizzeria is all about coming up with unique flavor combinations that not only reflect your palate, but also your personality. And the best part is that, after your creation comes to golden brown fruition, you'll be able to share a slice of who you are with friends and family.

Guests begin by choosing a housemade white, whole-wheat, or gluten-free crust before decking it out with one of seven sauces, which range from classic red to fiery buffalo. From there, they can mix and match 6 cheeses (including a vegan variety), 6 meats, and 17 fresh veggies to create with their very own, utterly unique pizza. Of course, those who are more comfortable letting other culinary geniuses take the wheel can order one of the predetermined signature creations, such as the Hickory BBQ Chicken pie with mozzarella, gorgonzola, and cilantro, or the Rustic Veggie, a plant-heavy pizza that's been dragged through the proverbial garden alongside ricotta and garlic. The locally owned pizzeria rounds out its menu with custom salads and dessert pizza, offering thirsty diners an assortment of beer and wine.
