Charles and Reid’s Lorenzo

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | March 8, 2025

Prepare your stomachs, pizza fanatics! There are some tasty surprises in the works at Charles and Reid in Traverse City, from take-and-bake goodies and new appetizers to freshly-crafted pizza combos. With spring break just around the corner, find us stuffing our faces with the Italian-inspired Lorenzo. Named for Lorenzo Bianchino, the brains behind burrata cheese, this drool-worthy pie features the eatery’s Detroit-style crust (a light and chewy affair) stacked with all the classic fixings: mild brick cheese, homemade red sauce, slices of Soppressata salami and pepperoni, scratch-made basil pesto, and the pie’s namesake: dollops of creamy burrata. Baked to bubbly perfection, it’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and comes with Italian vacation vibes. Save us a crunchy corner piece, please! Dig in at Charles and Reid at 113 E. State St. in Traverse City. charlesandreid.com
