“We
Fuss A Lot To Make It Better!”
…is The Pantry’s Motto

and Mike Moceri Jr. |
Over 26 years ago, Lil Adams was new at the Chamber and attempting
to recruit more members to help the Chamber grow. Pantry Restaurant
& Deli had just opened and when she approached owner Joe Moceri
on membership, was told he was affiliated with the Warren Chamber,
and had no desire to make a change.
Honoring that decision, neither she nor any other Sterling Chamber
salespeople called on Joe for all of those years. Now, a member
because he chose to be, Joe Moceri and the entire family, Joe and
wife Gerrie, daughters Leslie and Lisa, son Mike and Grandsons Mike
Jr. and Anthony, are an important component of the Chamber’s
growing family of what are widely recognized as, “pillars
of the community.”
Joe like many others runs a very successful, family owned and
operated business that has an unwavering dedication to their chosen
profession. The quality, service and concern for details you enjoy
when dining there, confirm this. On May 15th, 2002, the Moceri family
invited city officials, family friends, and Chamber members to
stop by and celebrate the recent remodeling and birthday of the
quarter century landmark.
A huge supporter of the Sterling Heights Lions Club, the Pantry
family custom cooks for all of their functions. That probably
explains the clubs large membership numbers. The Moceris will
also custom cater all types of events and celebrations for businesses
or residents, with their unique and absolutely fresh menu offerings
and outstanding house specialties.
The Pantry Restaurant & Deli was founded by Joe and three
friends of the family in 1978. The original partners later sold
out to Joe and family. The owners and staff are proud of their
long tradition of culinary excellence and personal involvement
in every facet of the business, and that tradition inspires their
loyal patrons. Their breakfast menu is particularly special, and
on weekends, long lines wait for the opportunity to order their
renowned fresh fruit crepes and “out-of-this-world”
baked apple pancakes, that resemble small deep-dish pizzas. Pile
some real whipped cream on these gourmet treats and you will experience
perfection.
The Pantry is located on Van Dyke between 14 and 15 mile and
is only open for breakfast and lunch (the pancakes can be taken
out for a super home treat as well.)
