Happy's Pizza was established, when Co-CEO, Happy Asker, noticed the lack of solid dining options on Detroit's North East side. The first store, which opened its, doors in 1996, offered diners an extensive menu featuring ribs, chicken, hand battered shrimp, pasta, salads and subs, as well as the namesake, Happy's Pizza. Due to its popularity, Happy's Pizza quickly became a household name in Michigan and they didn't stop there. Happy's Pizza currently has about 90 stores open in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada & California, and 20 stores under construction in those and other states. Each new store is a work of art and includes Happy's iconic build out including granite counter tops, neon lights, ceramic tiling and Venetian plaster.

In addition to their growth focused idles and exceptional support and training, Happy's Pizza is proud to offer its hands to the community and partakes in many different philanthropic activities. These include an annual "Coats for Kids" and bicycle program, as well as working hand and hand with community health departments to offer pizza party for school based vaccination initiatives.
