When we saw that Sunday, October 9 is [International Pizza and Beer Day](https://beerandpizzaday.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com#footer) I decided to throw together a list of our favorite places to get pizza and beer. Just to add to the festivities I also called around to find out what pizza and beer pairings each restaurant would suggest. You will find that some of them are just basic brews, but quite a few of them are from Michigan breweries. Although this is an international holiday, there is something special and quintessentially Detroit about getting together with some friends and sharing a hot pizza. Add in the perfect beer to wash the pizza down and you’ve got a great night. ### **Loui’s Pizza** [![1929208_74278951532_6590918_n](https://storage.ghost.io/c/47/f5/47f528d4-7214-4519-b2b2-26249e48460d/content/images/wordpress/2016/10/1929208_74278951532_6590918_n.jpg)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/47/f5/47f528d4-7214-4519-b2b2-26249e48460d/content/images/wordpress/2016/10/1929208%5F74278951532%5F6590918%5Fn.jpg?ref=dailydetroit.com) This pizzeria is a long time mainstay in Hazel Park, and while there are other things on the menu we stick with the pizza. When I want Detroit style pizza, [Loui’s](http://louispizza.net/?ref=dailydetroit.com) is a clutch choice. Don’t forget to order the Antipasto Salad. **Loui’s pizza and beer pairing: Meat Lovers Pizza with a Corona.** *23141 Dequindre Avenue Hazel Park, Michigan 48030 – [Website](http://louispizza.net/?ref=dailydetroit.com)* ### **Motor City Brewing Works** [![12400932_10154420716259908_5095535441767175429_n](https://storage.ghost.io/c/47/f5/47f528d4-7214-4519-b2b2-26249e48460d/content/images/wordpress/2016/10/12400932_10154420716259908_5095535441767175429_n.jpg)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/47/f5/47f528d4-7214-4519-b2b2-26249e48460d/content/images/wordpress/2016/10/12400932%5F10154420716259908%5F5095535441767175429%5Fn.jpg?ref=dailydetroit.com) [Motor City Brewing Works](http://www.motorcitybeer.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) has been brewing beer in Midtown since 1994, and their pizzas are pretty great as well. Each pizza can feed one to two people, so if you have a larger group order a few different types of pizza for variety. They’re opening a second location soon on the Avenue of Fashion in Detroit. **MCBW pizza and beer pairing: Sopla Fuego Pizza with a Bohemian Lager.** *470 W.
