"We firmly believe that there's a perfect pizza out there for everyone. Versatility is one of the things that makes pizza beautiful, and if you're the type that subscribes to the theory that more sauce and a thick crust makes a better pizza, Detroit-style might be for you. It might be as close to perfection as we get in our 21st-century world."
"There are a lot of great pizza places putting out some seriously delicious Detroit-style pies, but in order to come up with our list of the best of the best, we did a few things - starting with heading to Reddit to get some out-of-state recommendations from Detroit natives. When it came time to look at individual places, we were looking for those that were highly rated, but in order to be the best, we had a few other things in mind, too."
Detroit-style pizza prioritizes a thick, hearty crust, abundant sauce, and cheese browned edge-to-edge, often requiring a knife and fork. High-heat ovens in commercial kitchens produce the ideal crust and browned cheese that define the style. The style has spread beyond Detroit as many pizzerias nationwide adopt the ultra-hearty approach. Evaluation criteria for top Detroit-style pizzerias include authenticity to the original style, achieving the signature crust, edge-to-edge cheese, excellent pepperoni, and recognition such as awards. Creative toppings are welcomed but adherence to the core characteristics remains paramount.
