April 13, 2025 — Emmy Squared Pizza, the beloved brand fusing Detroit-style pan pizza with Brooklyn-rooted flavor, has stepped into spring with a bold new menu, enhanced lunch offerings, and a reimagined cocktail program—setting a new standard for elevated casual dining. With the seasonal rollout launched just days ago on April 10, the refreshed culinary experience signals a confident evolution for the Emmy Squared name, now a staple across 20+ locations in the U.S.

Seasonal Menu Highlights: Returning Favorites and New Additions

At the heart of the update is a seasonal menu that’s both playful and indulgent. Back by popular demand, the Watermelon Burrata Salad leads the charge—offering a refreshing mix of cubed watermelon, creamy BelGioioso burrata, mint, basil, parsley pesto, and a hit of Korean chili flakes. It’s joined by the return of the Emmy Pizza, a house signature topped with banana peppers, red onions, and the signature green ranch.

New additions are equally compelling. The Metsiah Pizza is a carnivore’s fantasy layered with Ezzo pepperoni, Italian sausage, thick-cut bacon, and shaved ribeye, while the Mediterranean Ribeye Pizza introduces a more savory angle, blending shaved sirloin with caramelized onions, Kalamata olives, confit garlic, and spinach.

Burger lovers aren’t left behind—the debut of the Le Bleu Burger puts the spotlight on a Braveheart grass-fed Angus blend topped with blue cheese crumbles, Emmy’s house-made Sammy sauce, thick-cut bacon, mushrooms, and caramelized onions on a pretzel bun. It’s rich, robust, and unapologetically over-the-top.

Elevated Cocktails for a Refined Sip

In a move that’s been long-anticipated by fans, Emmy Squared Pizza has launched its first major cocktail revamp. Developed in partnership with Spirits of Alchemy, the new bar program introduces creative cocktails that balance nuance with attitude.

Highlights include the Watermelon Basil Smash—herbaceous, bourbon-forward, and designed for al fresco sipping—as well as the Prime Cut Martini, an umami-forward rendition topped with blue cheese-stuffed olives. The Espresso Yourself, built on a bold bourbon base, and the Dos Fashioned, featuring Dos Hombres Mezcal, round out a program that’s built for more than just pizza pairings.

Each location will also feature a local cocktail exclusive to that market, offering guests a unique experience with every visit.

Lunch, Lightened Up

For the first time, Emmy Squared Pizza has expanded lunch across 20 locations, delivering lighter, faster options without compromising flavor. Offerings include:

  • Brooklyn Bite: A single Detroit-style slice or half-pizza with salad

  • Single Stack Sandwiches: Midday-sized versions of Emmy’s cult-followed burgers and sandwiches

  • Individual Salads: Personal portions of fan favorites like the Caesar and Brussels sprouts salads

Happy Hour, Reinvented

To round it all out, the Emmy Squared Happy Hour is now in full swing. Guests can enjoy $5 select beers, $7 house wines, and $9 well cocktails, proving that high-end taste doesn’t always need a high price tag.

“The new seasonal offerings and our Brooklyn Bar program elevate the entire dining experience. From bold new menu items to a cocktail list crafted with purpose, we’re raising the bar for our guests at every turn.”

Sergio Pérez, SVP and Head of Marketing
