When the owners of the
Woody’s Oasis, Chuck and Delista Raad, moved their original East Lansing location to a larger building down the road on Trowbridge, they hung on to their original space in Trowbridge Plaza. Last August, they launched a new restaurant,
Trowbridge Pizza & Pasta in its place.
Pizza places may be plentiful in East Lansing, but Trowbridge Pizza & Pasta is setting itself apart with something rare in the biz: authenticity. A local Sicilian couple partnered with the business to develop the recipes.
“Everything here is homemade,” says restaurant manager Rita Haidamous. “We make all of the sauces, shred our own cheese, and all the dough is made by hand.”
In addition to delivery options, the new restaurant offers dine-in eating for 60-70 guests, who can chose from ordering the made-to-order menu options or pizza by the slice from a selection of seven types of pizza each day.
Trowbridge Pizza & Pasta employs ten workers and is currently open until 10 pm. According to Haidamous, the business hopes to expand their delivery hours in the future.
