His parents emigrated from Sicily but met in Madison.Ĭerniglia's Sicilian family recipes are the basis for the pizza, pasta, sandwiches and calzones at Madtown. 'I grew up a block from Regent and Park Street,' notes Madtown co-owner Joe Cerniglia, a member of the Italian Workmen's Club. The Greenbush, in its heyday a home base for a largely Italian immigrant community, was demolished in the 1960s to make way for the Bayview, Braxton and Brittingham apartments. The structure was never built but a 50-foot (15 m) tall scale model stands at the proposed site on Domino Pizza headquarters in Ann Arbor Charter Township, Michigan, outside of Ann Arbor.Madtown Pizza is a throwback to Madison's Greenbush neighborhood, even though it's on East Johnson Street. Birkerts' design, no doubt, had serious intent, but would immediately and forever be dubbed with the nickname 'The Leaning Tower of Pizza' after Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa. Monaghan then went to Gunnar Birkerts, the architect of Domino's unusual half-mile (800 m) long headquarters office building who came up with a design for a tower that would rise at a 15-degree angle with a swooping top reminiscent of the forms of Wright's late work. Sometime during the planning of the tower, Monaghan and the Taliesin architects parted company, allegedly because both parties felt the project may have not served justice to the spirit of Wright's architecture.

In the mid-1980s, Domino's Pizza mogul Tom Monaghan asked Taliesin Associated Architects, the inheritors of Frank Lloyd Wright's practice, to erect a structure based on an un-built tower that Wright designed in 1956 for Chicago called the Golden Beacon. The Leaning Tower of Pizza was a proposed 30-story slanted skyscraper that would have housed Domino's Pizza's operations at its Domino's Farms campus near Ann Arbor, Michigan.
