Products & Services
Dolly Lewis opened the first Dolly’s Pizza in 1966. The daughter
of Italian immigrants and desperate to provide for her three small
children, opening an authentic pizzeria seemed the natural thing
to do.
Dolly used every penny she had to rent her new store, but pizza sales soon allowed her to properly take care of her children. Expansion was her furthest thought! Little did she know, her young son Robert was watching, learning and planning for the future.
Robert grew up to make a career of the pizza business. He opened more stores, began franchising, and was even awarded "Best Pizza in Michigan" by the Michigan Restaurant Association! Now, his goal is to share his knowledge, experience and expertise with other entrepreneurs seeking an exciting business opportunity.
Dolly’s Pizza may be just the opportunity YOU’RE looking for. We would love to welcome you to the family!
