East Lansing-based gourmet pizza shop, Fat Matt’s Pizza, is coming up on its one-year anniversary.
According to excerpts from the article:
“People just love the name—I’ve got people here everyday taking pictures of our sign,” says owner/operator “Fat” Matt Eyer. “I named it because it’s easy to remember, and because it’s just me. I’m a big eater, and I make pizzas the way I would want someone to make them for me.”
Eyer says his customized style is simple: You put a thin layer of sauce on the crust, you load it up with cheese until you can’t see the sauce anymore, you load up the first topping until you can’t see the cheese anymore, and continue through all the toppings this way. It makes for quite a pile in the end.
“I just hate it when I get a pizza and it’s got, like, two pieces of pepperoni on each slice, as if someone sat there and counted it out,” he says. “This is a style I came up with all on my own, and it seems to be working just fine so far.”
