A place in Austin texas called Via 313. It is fantastic pizza!
I love Via 313, but it’s gone downhill in recent years, unfortunately. The wait times are ridiculously long, the prices have skyrocketed, and the quality has lowered. Honestly, I could deal with the lower quality if either the price or the wait time went down. It’s bad enough paying $15 for a small pan pizza, but it’s even worse when it takes 90 minutes to get to you, after you’ve already been in line for 20 minutes.
Though, that’s true for pretty much all the pizza places around here. They’ve all just gotten progressively worse, and it’s really sad. :(
I’ll have to give it a try
Shout-out from Rochester, NY! There’s a restaurant called Pizza Wizard here with some seriously delicious Detroit deep dish
A good quality Detroit-style, like from Buddy’s or from Frank’s in Wyandotte a little Southwest of Detroit, those are my favorite pizzas. If I’m getting something cheaper like Jet’s though I actually prefer the round.
Frank’s is my favorite lol
Borderline whether it should count as pizza but the prosciutto pie is crazy good.

Chicago style is with sauce on top, Detroit style is rectangle deep dish because they originally baked the pizza in oil pans. Or so the legend goes.

Lived on Detroit style all my life, and while it’ll always be central to my selection of favorites, NY thin crust does it best for me, with L&B’s Sicilian style taking a special nod.
Never had it until recently. We tried it from a place called Pi-Squared Pizza in Hendersonville, NC. It was great, and we’d like to try it from other places now.
What defines Detroit style?
As per the first hit on Google:
Detroit-style pizza is a rectangular pan pizza with a thick, crisp, chewy crust. It is traditionally topped to the edges with Wisconsin brick cheese, which caramelizes against the high-sided heavyweight rectangular pan.
Thanks. As a brit I’ve never seen that in the wild, but might have seen a picture on the Internet I guess
Dough cooked with motor oil.
Sounds a bit greasy
I love Detroit style pizza!
For others asking: Detroit style is kind of like Sicilian pizza. Pan baked, rectangular, yeast crust, thick, chewy, crispy on the edges. Bottom layer is cheese. Then toppings and sauce that is usually a stripe of sauce.
The texture reminds me of old school Pizza Hut pan pizza. Thick, airy, oily, and my favorite part is the little crispy craggy bits on the top edge of the crust.
In Maryland we have a couple really great Detroit pizza joints. Underground Pizza in Baltimore is my favorite and quite good, but pretty pricey. Rad Pies is a little more remote but is quite good as well.
Learn to make it yourself! It’s not that bad. You can probably use premade pizza dough from the store or a local pizza shop.
I had it twice. I hateeeee Detroit style pizza. its just not what I want in a pizza. For context my favorite type of pizza is metropolitan
Buddy’s and Jet’s. Little Caesar’s Pan pizza is decent for a cheaper option of Detroit style.
Omg yes and it’s my favorite. Absolutely hands down, the best.
There is a place in Vancouver called AJ’s brooklyn pizza joint that does a Detroit style pizza, I’ll usually grab one every couple of months.
Detroit style is my favorite style of pizza. I live in NC, so other than Jet’s (which is a decent version) my best bet is making it myself.
Adam Ragusea has a video on making it at home for anyone who wants to try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahxKAlbp6DU. Get the special pan, it’s not expensive and it definitely helps the overall quality.
Pizza Wizard in Rochester NY is unbeatable
Shoutout to 211 in Lancaster, PA that makes a killer D-style (and an even more killerer NY style)
