Guests enjoy Emmy Squared Pizza's signature Detroit-style pies, featuring airy, focaccia-like dough and crispy frico crust, during a lively dine-in experience. The brand celebrates the grand opening of its Charlottesville location on April 26.

Kicking things off is a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce, followed by a family-friendly celebration featuring food tastings, music, and raffle prizes. Local radio station Hot 101.9 will be on site with a live DJ, swag giveaways, and prize drawings throughout the event — including a grand prize MacBook, AirPods, free pizza cards, and EMILY cookbooks.

The first 25 guests in line will score free pizza for a year, redeemable as one pizza per month from Emmy Squared Pizza's most popular styles: the Colony, Classic, or Vodka.

Eventgoers can sample the brand's greatest hits, including its signature Detroit-style pizza, Mozz sticks, and quartered burger bites — all crafted with high-quality ingredients and made-from-scratch dough that rises for 24 hours. Featuring a square shape, fluffy focaccia-like dough, and cheesy "frico" crust, Emmy Squared bakes each pizza to perfection in custom-made metal trays dating back to the Motor City itself.

"The opening of our Charlottesville location marks an exciting chapter in the growth of the Emmy Squared brand," said Troy Tracy, CEO of Emmy Squared Pizza.
