etro Detroit is home to a variety of kosher-certified eateries. From local pizza joints to upscale steakhouses, to even national breakfast chains, there’s something for nearly every tastebud when it comes to finding kosher-friendly meals in the area. With summer in full swing and many restaurants back open for in-person dining (or increased carryout options), these are the establishments worth checking out for the best kosher dining Metro Detroit has to offer. JERUSALEM PIZZA 26025 GREENFIELD ROAD, SOUTHFIELD Jerusalem Pizza has a little bit of everything. On top of their namesake pizza (which includes vegetarian “meat” options), this cozy eatery serves up homemade kosher bagels and, most recently, sushi. Though their indoor dining space has been reduced to make room for a sushi bar, Jerusalem Pizza continues to offer carryout. More than 29 pizza varieties make up Jerusalem Pizza’s vast pizza menu. Owner Brian Jacobs says the most popular orders are Greek, barbeque “chicken,” Sephardic and Mexican pizzas. While there aren’t any summer dining specials, Jacobs explains that the sushi bar is growing in popularity. “If you go to New York, every pizza store has sushi,” he says. Sushi was a perfect addition to Jerusalem Pizza, Jacobs says, because the pizza restaurant is next door to an Asian eatery that doesn’t offer sushi. This brings customers to Jerusalem Pizza. Jacobs says the sushi is madefrom-scratch, cooked in-house and available in brown rice options.
