History
Established in 2014.
In 2013, owner Paul Laginess was finishing his 20th year at Ford Motor Company and had made up his mind it was time to do something else. So, the idea was hatched to bring the first «health food restaurant» to the Downriver area. Since nothing like that existed he questioned whether or not the area was even ready for such a thing, so the decision was made to ease into it. The concept then was to serve healthy versions of what is usually referred to as junk food — pizza, burgers and hot dogs. Luckily for Paul, his two sons, Paul and Clark, had years of pizza-making experience and were on board after a nudge or three from the elder Paul. It took nearly a year to go from idea to reality but on December 9th, 2014, Major Tomato opened its doors.

Business Owner
Paul comes to the restaurant business late in life (age 62) after 2+ decades at Ford and 4+ decades as a musician. He’s always been a finicky eater and was forever lamenting the fact that to get something healthy when dining out it was a given that a long drive to Ann Arbor or Ferndale or Royal Oak was required. Why couldn’t there be something a little closer to home where one could enjoy a meal that’s good for you? Well, basically he tired of waiting for someone else to do it, and with the help of two sons who both had a knack for making a killer pizza, he took matters into his own hands. Major Tomato was born.
