Family tradition lives on with soup in Shelby Township eatery.

Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas and Subs began creating their soups and subs in 1984 at Tom Maceri’s Fruit Market which was owned and operated by Anthony and Lori Maceri on Detroit’s eastside. Lori discovered the secrets to preparing satisfying meals from her grandma Pauline Brunetti, and great grandmother, Angelina Mazzola. Mazzola’s Restaurant was located in downtown Detroit, relocating to Tucson, Arizona around 1945. Her daughter Pauline helped her run it by spending the summers there. Growing up living with Pauline, Lori learned the secrets of family traditions made from scratch and the restaurant secrets from Angelina which is what they do at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas & Subs for their extended customer family.  Angelina’s Minestrone® is a savory Italian tradition frequently served. Not just soup, serving homemade Maceri’s Pasta Sauce® and Alfredo Sauce, which is Grandma Angelina’s from her restaurant, as a rotating choice or you can order trays from the catering menu.

Lori has now created over 200 varieties of soup with a majority based on Italian custom. They have received awards for Best Soup Company of Detroit 3 years in a row.  Having over 65 years combined experience in the wholesale and retail foodservice industry; they realized the demand for really good soup and the qualities it brings out— comfort, warmth, and well being.

Customers enjoy choice, novelty, and quality. Our aspiration is to offer products that give our customers a reminiscence of Grandma’s house. Thanks to both of the family’s ties, customers are guaranteed the best products made with the finest produce available.
