Thank you to Jesse Land for sharing his story of a trip to Keweenaw’s Jampot! We know this destination will make it to many people’s must-visit lists!

In fact, pizza has a long and rich history in the state of Michigan.
Two of the top four pizza chains in the country – Domino’s and Little Caesars – originated in southeast Michigan.
