If you think pizza is only for lunch or late-night cravings, Motor City Pizza in Lewisville wants to prove you wrong. Known for its thick, golden Detroit-style crust with those caramelized cheese edges, the restaurant has turned breakfast pizza into an art form—and North Texans are taking notice.
Owner Greg Tierney laughs at the idea that breakfast pizza is just bacon and eggs on a slice. “We’re not talking about a thin crust with a stray egg,” he says. “These are serious, gourmet breakfast pizzas.” The signature Detroit-style crust—a rectangular deep dish that’s crispy on the outside and soft and airy in the middle—can hold generous layers of eggs, vegetables, and creamy sauces without collapsing. It’s the perfect base for a real morning meal.
The Breakfast Florentine is the runaway favorite. Tierney piles crisp bacon, spinach, mushrooms, tomato, and cheese onto that golden crust, then cracks sunny-side-up eggs on top and finishes with a drizzle of warm Hollandaise. Each bite delivers crunch, silk, and salt in perfect balance. Other hits include the Western Omelet Pizza, Smothered Sausage Lovers, Eggs Benedict, and Bacon Dream—each one a creative nod to classic diner breakfasts.
After a year and a half of steady demand, Motor City now sells the breakfast pizzas by the slice, complete with a side of fruit, roasted potatoes, sliced tomatoes, or avocado. “A whole pie was always too much,” says regular Kim West. “One slice with fruit is perfect—it’s my go-to brunch now.” Slice plates run from $8 to $12, giving diners a manageable way to indulge.
Tierney and his team are known for their playful spirit, often creating limited-edition pies inspired by sports stars or holidays—the Thanksgiving Pizza, The Luka Moussaka, The Dak Jambalaya, and the recent Cooper Flagg Chicken Bacon Ranch Melt among them.
What keeps people coming back, though, is the balance of indulgence and craft. At Motor City Pizza, breakfast doesn’t just borrow from dinner—it stands tall on a buttery, crisp-edged crust and proves that pizza might just be the perfect way to start the day.
