Today he learned to make pizza at @BigaloraPizza. As taste testers, Trinity Benson (@_TheTB) & I can vouch for Chef DeShon. 🤌🏼
We had fun! Story coming soon on @wxyzdetroit pic.twitter.com/CPJHTfyfWm
Bigalora Wood Fired Cucina in Southfield welcomed Elliott into the kitchen, teaching him to make their infamous pizza from the sourdough start to the wood fire oven. Elliott made pizza for his teammate Trinity Benson, WXYZ reporter Jeanna Trotman, and Lions PR member Greg Maiola. Over pizza, Elliott discussed his pursuit of a fitting culture in the NFL to what drew him to Dan Campbell and the Lions.
