“I’ve been working on doing Detroit-style pizza for about two years, and we’ve had it on the menu, but I didn’t make a big deal about it because I didn’t want to turn Alfonso’s into a pizzeria,” Colombo told CultureMap. “But with it starting to become better known, and with pizza becoming more popular since the onset of the virus, I decided to just go ahead and do a full menu.”
