It didn't take long for North Texans to start celebrating the Mavericks' No. 1 draft pick, Cooper Flagg, and one local pizza shop owner took that excitement straight to the oven.  

Motor City Pizza, located off I-35E and Justin Road in Lewisville, introduced The Cooper Flagg Pizza ahead of the draft.

Owner Greg Tierney is known for more than just Detroit-style pies. He's a lifelong sports fanatic with a creative streak, crafting pizzas to mark big moments.

"We have some really different combinations," Tierney said.

As a Maine native, his roots sparked a few ideas.

"I thought, lobster? Maine?" Tierney said. "But it didn't pop up in my extensive research."

Instead, Tierney took a different route, crafting what he calls the Cooper Flagg Pizza, a play on what he believes is Flagg's favorite sandwich, based on what he could find online.

"It's a bacon, chicken ranch melt pizza," Tierney explained. "When he does it, it's usually in sandwich form. But we've 'pizzafied' it."

The Detroit-style pie is layered with cheese, crispy bacon, chicken, bell peppers, and ranch, then baked and topped with fresh greens and even more ranch.  According to the restaurant's website, The Cooper Flagg Pizza starts at $16.95.

And to pair with the pie? A blue Gatorade beer from Turning Point Brewery in Bedford, a nod to Flagg's go-to drink.

"If he likes it in sandwich form, then I think he'd love it in pizza form," Tierney said. "We definitely want to invite Cooper in to try his namesake pizza here at Motor City."

Your move, Cooper.

Motor City did not say how long the pizza will be available.

Flagg joins a roster stacked with No. 1 picks

The 6-foot-8 forward led the Blue Devils in all five major statistical categories, and has already proven his game can hold up against the pros when he played well last summer during an invite to the U.S. Olympic team's training camp.

Flagg will join a Mavericks roster already loaded with talent, including forward Anthony Davis and guard Kyrie Irving, who has reportedly signed a new 3-year contract with Dallas. 

Flagg will wear No. 32 for the Mavericks.
