What is Detroit Style Pizza?!

Detroit Style Pizza got its start in the mid 1940's thanks to soldiers returning home after WWII. Rather than using traditional round pans, in true Motor City fashion, the originators baked their pizza in square, steel automotive parts pans. This allowed the outer edges of cheese to caramelize, forming the signature, golden brown, crispy cheese barrier around the perimeter of the pie.

Detroit Style Pizza is recognizable by its iconic square shape and crunchy, cheesy corner slices. Influenced by square Sicilian-style pizza, Detroit-Style Pizza consistently impresses pizza lovers due to its unique layering structure and stunning presentation.

Enjoy!
