Forty years ago, in February 1985, Michael Jackson opened his own pizza place, Michael’s Pizza. He knew how to build a great pizza with just the right amount of ingredients and created his own, unique sauce and dough recipes that carry forward today for Clarksville’s original hometown taste.
After Michael passed away, the family continued to run Michael’s Pizza. But in 2007, local investors purchased the business with the commitment to keep the integrity and tradition strong. Forty years later, Michael’s Pizza and More offers more than pizza and is a local favorite eating establishment voted as Best Pizza, Best Wings, and Best Ice Cream for many years.
Creative recipes, quality ingredients
Each month. there are new limited-time-offer creations giving customers the opportunity to decide what stays around long-term. Ingredients are prepared fresh daily using top-tier vegetables, meats, and premium, grated, on-site mozzarella cheese. Pizzas can be hand-tossed or thin-crust, and prepared for delivery, carry out or dine-in, seven days a week, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. daily.
Besides a large selection of specialty pizzas, they also offer hot subs, calzones, wings, pasta and salads. Desserts include Frozen Custard Ice Cream, made fresh every day including offerings of sundaes, milkshakes, and concretes to customer specifications. Dessert pizzas and cinnamon sticks are family favorites. The chocolate chip cookies are some of the best anywhere. Gluten-free pizza and no-dough keto bowls are also available for those looking for these dietary options.
Community involvement
Michael Jackson was involved in community service all his life, and the tradition continues with Michael’s Pizza’s support of Austin Peay State University and the local schools. They support many sports programs and local religious organizations. All first responders and military enjoy a special discount. Every Michael’s Pizza and More customer becomes a Valued Loyalty Member, accruing discounts toward future purchases.
“We are thankful to Clarksville for allowing us to be a part of the community for 40 years, serving quality food and offering great customer service,” said Jessica Dickison, manager.
