Fred's Pizza opens in Shelby Township.
Father and son Erion and Fred Gjysma have brought their own spin on the Chicago-Style pizza to Shelby Township. The father and son duo opened Fred’s Pizza on 24 and Hayes less than a month ago. Headlining the new pizzeria is their infamous two-layered “Chicago-style stuffed” pizza. “It has three times the amount of cheese that a normal pizza has,” said Erion Gjysma. Erion Gjysma said he didn’t want to copy traditional Chicago-Style pizza. “We wanted to make it our own.” And, make it their own they did. Fred's Chicago-style stuffed pizza was inspired by their homeland – Albania. “Byrek” is a stuffed pie that is very popular in Eastern European cuisine, said Erion Gjysma. However, the dough used in Byrek is softer and flakier. The father and…

Patty Duggar is living out her sweet retirement dreams in the kitchen of Shelby's newest bakery.
Patty Cakes, Shelby Township’s newest bakery, has four bakers’ women. The owner, whose name is actually Patty, had a little fun with the bakery’s name, playing off the old English nursery rhymes, before she decided that times have changed and enlisted the help of four bakers’ women. Patty Duggar, a retired Utica Community Schools special education teacher, opened the bakery on 23 Mile Road and M-53, right in front of the Wal-Mart with the hopes of baking fresh goodies that have always been a family favorite. Duggar, a Shelby Township resident who is originally from the south, noticed the city was in need of a good ol’ fashioned bakery that specialized in homemade cupcakes, banana pudding pies and cakes.
