Mercer Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit-style_pizza Detroit-style pizza is a rectangular pan pizza with a thick, crisp, chewy crust. It is traditionally topped to the edges with mozzarella and/or Wisconsin brick cheese, which caramelizes against the high-sided heavyweight rectangular pan. Detroit-style pizza was originally baked in rectangular steel trays designed for use as automotive drip pans or to hold small industrial parts in factories.[1] It was developed during the mid-20th century in Detroit, Michigan, before spreading to other parts of the United States in the 2010s. It is one of Detroit's iconic local foods. I fucks with this heavy: That caramelized cheese crust laced with parm...

Mercer Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 That banger of a topping choice up there doesn't represent the normal toppings one would expect on Detroit style. We are rotating through the entire menu at one of the local spots and that was last nights gem. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morton Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I would trade the fried chicken in the south for the pizza of the Midwest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 How did I live so many years in Indianapolis and never had Chicago or Detroit style pizza? It's not like Indiana has it's own brand of pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Never tried, I'm sure it's tasty, sure it's just as good as Chicago style, but can't imagine it beats NY style, and definitely can't beat an Italian clay wood fired oven joint that knows what they're doing (most don't). Can you put pineapple or raw broccoli on it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndv Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I don't know, I've never had a Detroit style pizza although I am sure I had something similar in the past but must have not been all that great since I can't remember if I have or haven't. I guess thats me saying regardless of the pizza style, the baker determines the level of quality. I could be wrong, but considering how much HTX boasts themselves about being the nation's leading eatery, I find it odd we lack in the pizza department. There are a handful or places that can bake decent pies but I wouldn't put them in the same ring as some of the top places in Detroit, Chicago, and New York. It would be nice to find a place that can bake all three types great to be agreed by natives to represent their city to sample them all at once to understand each that makes them different and why. Basically the history of the pie types in relation to city. Unfortunately, with pizza everyone claims they have the best style pie and HTX is not the place that can represent that. The only two recommendations I could give someone in HTX is Spanky's and Star Pizza. But these places are just pizza to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
