Unc's Pizza opens in Capitol Park from the Dime Store and Mootz owners

New reporting from ClickOnDetroit (WDIV) says Unc's Pizza has opened at 1133 Griswold Street in Capitol Park, a Detroit-style pizzeria from the owners of Dime Store and Tony Sacco of Mootz Pizzeria + Bar.

The name honors co-owner Larry Kahn's Uncle Paul, a World War II veteran and longtime Detroit Edison employee. The room seats 80 inside with a 50-seat patio.

"We wanted to create the neighborhood pizza place we all wish still existed," Kahn told ClickOnDetroit (WDIV).

Why we're watching: another serious Detroit-style contender downtown is worth a table, and we will visit Unc's ourselves to taste the pies and size up how it stacks against Buddy's.
