History

Shield's has been part of Metro Detroit's history since 1937. The story began when Shield's Bar opened at the corner of Davison and Shields Street in Detroit. Shield's later began serving award-winning pizzas, ribs and salads and featured the ever-popular square, deep-dish pizza. Shield's was purchased in early 1992 by brothers Paul Andoni and Peter Andoni. The Andoni's changed the name to Shield's Franchise Restaurants, LLC and plan on expanding to new locations and offering franchises throughout Southeast Michigan and beyond. The company currently has 120 dedicated employees and locations in Southfield, Troy and Macomb Township.
