1948
Cottage Inn Pizza Restaurant was established in Ann Arbor, MI.
Cottage Inn Pizza opened in 1948 as Ann Arbor's first pizzeria and quickly became a local favorite for its quality, ingredients, and welcoming feel. As the brand grew, the company expanded beyond dine-in, adding carryout & delivery in 1978 at Packard & Hill Street in Ann Arbor, a location that still proudly serves customers today. For more than 70 years, Cottage Inn has been the go-to stop in the heart of every pizza craving with fresh, high-quality ingredients and plenty of options — including gluten-free and gourmet pizzas. With 70+ locations across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, Cottage Inn continues to focus on creating gourmet pizza that has kept customers coming back for generations.
