What IS a Biga Pizza?

A Biga Pizza must be leavened with an all natural biga fermentation without the aid of commercial yeasts or added sugar. -Biga is Better

The ingredients for a Biga Pizza come from local sources and are as naturally organic as possible. -Biga is Local, Biga is Organic

Each Biga Pizza is individually hand crafted with all natural toppings expertly assembled by a pizzaiolo. -Biga Made is Hand Made

Pizzeria Biga is a “Gas Free Zone”. Biga ovens are 100% Michigan wood energy and are fired without the aid of gas.  -Wood is Good

The Biga Bubble/The Biga Char. The best authentic napoletana pizza’s have a distinct charring on the edges and bottom of the crust and also on the bubbles that form as part of the natural biga leavening.

The Biga Bite. A biga pizza has that unmistakeable toothy bite. The incredible texture and deep flavor profile comes from the natural fermentation process which also provides the healthful benefits.

It All Begins With The Biga

The Biga Dough - Pizzeria Biga utilizes a unique in-house proprietary fermentation process instead of commercial yeast and added sugars for the dough in both the classic napoletana and the whole wheat crusts.  Fermented biga pizza dough is easier for your body to digest while providing the probiotic benefits such as enhancing nutrient absorption and boosting immunity.. . And…..it tastes better! 

The Biga Philosophy – Chef Luciano strongly believes in supporting the local economy and promoting a healthier Michigan by purchasing foods  from local suppliers pursuing farmers, growers and ranchers invested in sustainable and organically raised products made without the use of harmful chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics or hormones. Our families eat here too! 

The Finished Products – Our menu reflects our desire toward providing a true napoletana style pizzeria experience while maintaining a proper balance of healthy selections inherent to the classic Mediterranean diet.
