Green Lantern Pizza serves a variety of delectable meaty pizzas in the larger Metro Detroit area. We’re the best pizzas in town for a reason. When crafting the perfect pizza, we believe there needs to be a vast choice of quality meaty toppings.

What Kind of Meat Do You Put on a Pizza?

Typical meat toppings include pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, chicken and ground beef. These meats add savory flavors to the pizza, complementing the other ingredients and creating a delicious combination.

At Green Lantern Pizza, we have a wide range of other meaty toppings. Our meaty pizzas include:

What’s the Difference Between Italian and American Pepperoni?

Pepperoni is the American variation of salami, a cured Italian sausage made from air-dried and fermented pork. Pepperoni is a type of spicy salami that typically contains cured beef, pork, paprika and chili peppers.

Pepperoni is generally considered the most common meat topping on pizza. Its savory flavor and widespread popularity make it a staple for pizza lovers worldwide. Our Everything, Meat Lovers, John’s Jumbo Supreme and Tommy’s Super Special pizzas are perfect for those pepperoni lovers. We are not called the King of Pepperoni for nothing!
