If there\u2019s one thing that can bring a city together, it would definitely be food. It\u2019s safe to say that Amar Pizza has just done that.
\n<\/span>It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re Arabic, Polish, African-American, Italian, Irish, Ukrainian, Bosnian, or Bangladesh; everyone seems to love the food from Amar Pizza.. The owner of Amar Pizza, Khurshed Ahmed, is a Bangladeshi-American who graduated out of Hamtramck High School back in 2001. Amar\u2019s Pizza, which is now located on 12195 Joseph Campau street, Hamtramck MI, has been open since January 2010.<\/span><\/h6>\n

Ahmed said what makes his pizza place different from all of the others is, \u201cOur dough and all of our sauces are all home made in store and we only buy the best and freshest ingredients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahmed later added that, \u201cPeople also love or place because of the different varieties of toppings we have to offer. We offer Bangladeshi inspired pizzas. We offer a naga pizza that has naga peppers incorporated in the sauce and topped with chicken, red onion and cilantro. Also, we offer a tandoori pizza that has tandoori sauce topped with chicken and red onion. We also offer have a dry fish pizza. That is made with a spicy fish paste as the sauce and is topped with dried shrimp, roasted garlic, onions and cilantro. I also can\u2019t forget our famous \u2018Ghost pepper\u2019 pizza as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you are not into any of the Bangladeshi inspired pizzas, that\u2019s fine. You can always grab a meat lovers\u2019 pizza, BBQ pizza, spinach pizza, or one of their more popular pizzas, the Philly steak pizza. They offer pizzas in your choice of round, thin crust, and of course, the Detroit style square deep dish.<\/p>\n

Recognition<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Yemeni American News aren\u2019t the only ones who have recognized Amar\u2019s Pizza as a great pizza parlor.<\/p>\n

Amar\u2019s Pizza has been featured on Travel Channel\u2019s hit TV show called Bizarre Foods. Host Andrew Zimmerman loved the Dry Fish Pizza.<\/p>\n

They were also featured on Metro Times for their Shortlist of Notable Pizza Parlors from the Metro Detroit Area.<\/p>\n

They were featured on Real Detroit\u2019s Hungry Dudes. The \u201cDudes\u201d tried our Ghost Pepper Pizza and voted it the \u201cHottest\u201d pizza in town.<\/p>\n

They were also on Channel 4\u2019s \u201cLive in the D\u201d twice, \u201cCore Detroit\u201d, \u201cMade in Detroit\u201d, modelmedia.com, and Thrillist.com. Heinz Ketchup gave Amar Pizza a shout-out in an article on their ghost pepper pizza. Also, coming soon, Amar Pizza will be featured on \u201ceater.com\u201d, Thrillist\u201d, and \u201cVice\u2019s Munchies, The Pizza Show\u201d.<\/p>\n

Customer Satisfaction<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Even though his pizza may be inspired by his Bengali heritage, Ahemed\u2019s goal is to have all backgrounds enjoy his food. So far, he\u2019s done a great job accomplishing this goal.<\/p>\n

Hamtramck Councilman Ian Perrotta has an Irish-Italian background. Perrotta\u2019s go-to order at Amar Pizza is the Barbecue Chicken Pizza.<\/p>\n

Perrotta said, \u201cOverall, I can\u2019t speak highly enough about Amar Pizza and its owners — they have done a lot of things right. First off, the food is great. The ingredients are quality, the preparation is on point, and the final product never disappoints. It\u2019s really cool how they\u2019ve managed to fuse the tastes of Bangladesh with Italian-American style food while not diluting either. Second, they have remained humble throughout their success. Amar Pizza gets a lot of recognition from different TV shows and newspapers or magazines, but it hasn\u2019t gone to their heads. You\u2019ll still find the owners working almost every day, and they greet you by name when you come in. Third, Amar Pizza cares about the community and it shows. They donate to events, keep up their property, and really make an effort to be a business for everyone. It\u2019s nice to see businesses care about more than the bottom line. With everything they\u2019ve done right, Amar Pizza has earned the success they deserve. I really think it\u2019s a perfect example of the American Dream.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n

Hamtramck resident Dave Farver has an African-American background. His go-to order at Amar\u2019s Pizza is either the deep-dish BBQ Chicken Pizza or the deep dish Hawaiian Pizza.<\/p>\n

Farver later added, \u201cAmar\u2019s pizza has great service and the food is very good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamtramck resident Neil Yaremchuk has an Ukranian-American background. His go-to order at Amar\u2019s Pizza is either the Tandoori Chicken or the Naga Pizza.<\/p>\n

Yaremchuk later added, \u201cAside from producing a quality product, Amar Pizza and its owners have demonstrated themselves to be good neighbors in our community.\u00a0 They have been generous with donations for fundraisers and community events-Muslim and non-Muslim alike.\u00a0 Business owners like Khurshed Ahmed recognize the importance of a higher sense of belonging and it\u2019s their kindness and contribution back to the whole community that makes them partners with the people of Hamtramck.\u00a0We\u2019re fortunate to have them as a neighbor.\u00a0 Amar\u00a0Pizza sets a great example to other businesses that want to succeed in Hamtramck.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n

Hamtramck Business owner Nashwan Abdullah has a Yemeni-American background. His go-to order at Amar\u2019s Pizza is the Philly Cheese Steak Pizza with Jalape\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Abdullah later added, \u201cOne thing I like about Amar\u2019s pizza is not only is the food halal, but unlike other halal pizza places, they actually go by the motto \u2018quality and not quantity. They are not afraid better of giving you better food for slightly higher praise than other places around town.\u201d<\/p>\n
