The pizza was created based on Flagg’s favorite meal.
LEWISVILLE, Texas — A North Texas pizzeria is preparing to welcome Duke Star Cooper Flagg to Dallas with a pizza based on his favorite meal.
The Dallas Mavericks selected Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft Wednesday night.
To welcome Flagg to North Texas, Dallas Motor City Pizza in Lewisville created a new pie based on his favorite foods.
“Welcome to Dallas, Cooper. We learned about Cooper’s favorite food and drink – and now, we’re going to make it a thing …,” the restaurant posted on social media.
D Magazine reported that Flagg said his favorite meal is a chicken bacon ranch cheesesteak sub, and his favorite drink is blue Gatorade.
The popular Detroit-style pizza spot posted a video showing how their new Cooper Flagg pizza, which is indeed topped with chicken, bacon and ranch, is made. To drink Motor City Pizza is serving a blue Gatorade beer by Turning Point Beer in Bedford, according to the video. However, Flagg himself, just 18 years old, will have to wait a few years for the beer.
