All of the offerings at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop have a history. Founded in 1936, the Maceri family has been a staple in the Detroit area’s produce industry located in Detroit’s Eastern Market, Tom Maceri & Son, one of
southeast Michigan’s largest produce distributors, servicing wholesale distributors, retailers, grocery stores, and restaurants throughout Michigan. Anthony, a produce and food industry veteran for more than forty years, learned the ropes from his father, “Detroit’s Produce King” Sam Maceri. Having this experience he certainly know how to pick the best produce. That is a critical job since most of what we do depends on it. Having many years experience in the wholesale and retail food industry, we realized a restaurant that offered homemade soups made with fresh produce received daily directly to the family’s warehouse from local and nationwide farmers would be a hit, and so far it is Anthony services many restaurants, including National Coney Island. Not only is Anthony renowned in the wholesale and retail produce industry, he also has restaurant knowledge. His mother, Josephine Maceri, owned and operated a pizzeria while he was growing up. It was located on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Woods. His mom used to oven bake their subs. This was back in the 1970′s, and that is what we do today upon request with our pitas and subs.
Our subs and pitas originated back in 1984 at our fruit market, Tom Maceri’s Fruit Market, on Detroit’s east side. We have brought the tradition to Shelby Township, Michigan at our restaurant Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas & Subs.
