Just wait until you’ve heard about the war crime that is Ohio Valley-style pizza
laughs in brazil
I feel unsafe.
That man’s face is brimming with unspeakable regret.
I think you just gave me diabetes
This man needs his pizza license revoked.
They can’t just do this! sobbing
They can’t just keep getting away with it! crying into a blanket
Detroit style???
Is that honest abe?
New York pizza is absolute fucking trash. If it’s thin crust it needs to be crisp like Neopolitan. NY style has the mouthfeel of microwaved day old paper bags.
Neopolitan is floppy in the middle more often than not. Still usually delicious, but it’s not what I would consider to be the platonic ideal of pizza.
It’s edible without feeling like you need to roll it up into a tube. I’m getting down voted on pizza trash talk. lol
This person must be from Chicago if they are describing their tomato casserole as a pizza. If Chicago can have their pizza crime, let others do as they please and get off your high horse.
Let’s not even get into how overrated New York pizza is.
This person has never heard of tavern style.
New York Pizza is so mid yet people act like it’s divine
Chicago style thin crust?
that’s just pizza, dude
Chicago people can never believe that anything they have could possibly exist anywhere else, or, even worse, have pre-existed the Chicago version, which is usually exactly the same or slightly worse.
You can observe this in the wild; just start doing literally anything with a person from Chicago and at some point they will stop and mention “this is nice, but in Chicago we have…” and then go on to describe the same thing.
No it’s not.
I have had pizza all over the us and Chicago thin crust is different than just a regular hand tossed
Is it basically dominos crispy thin crust?
k
Fuck you and your magic pizza
Cincinnati has a pizza with fucking chilli on it. It was on the menu at the place I was at, and the bartender said it’s somewhat of a local delicacy. I asked her if there was anything special about the chilli. Yeah, there’s sugar in it, and it’s sweet. I laughed in her face and took a hard pass. Apparently they also put it on spaghetti. Fuck both of those dishes, I don’t need any Cincinnati “culture”.

In Steubenville, Ohio, and other Ohio River towns, local pizzerias dole out square pies covered with piles of cold — uncooked — grated cheese. Known as Ohio Valley-style pizza, these crisp-crust pies come out of the oven with just a coating of tomato sauce and are then covered with fresh cheese and often pepperoni. Each bite is warm, cool and crunchy all at once.
So what region does Grandma style pizza belong to?
PA has “Altoona style” and “Old Forge style”, both hailing from miserable coal bust towns and consisting more or less of a slice of american “cheese” and red sauce on a sheet crust, I think one has a green pepper under it.
However, Detroit, Connecticut, Regina, Greek and a few others are excellent.
Detroit pizza is amazing. Who doesn’t like crispy cheese crust?
Man, you’d love Regina style. It’s a lot like Detroit, except it’s round and everything is under the wonderfully charred cheese.
This is the first I’ve ever heard of it but it sounds like I could murder a pizza like that except I’d fall into a food coma after like two slices like I do with Detroit style
You probably would. A medium weighs like 7 pounds, they cut it into 3x3 inch squares.
I would love to try it but I can’t find it anywhere near me
I don’t know where you are, but it was on the news a while ago a Regina style place opened in Toronto somewhere, but generally can’t be found outside of south Saskatchewan except for a couple places in Calgary.
Regina like in Saskatchewan? What is their signature pizza like? Because I’ve never heard people talking about the amazing pizza in Regina.
Super heavy, thick crust, deep dish pizza with an excessive amount of cheese, similar but different to Greek n Detroit, all the toppings under cheese, which is very nicely scorched. Sweeter side marinara, tangy heavy spiced and also applied excessively underneath. Probably a solid inch of meat n toppings, round pie, cut into 3x3 squares.
Well that does sound really good!
Oh it is. But like most things get popular, you gotta watch out for places half assing it, and a few places franchised across the province a bit, and the original owners of the restaurant and the first franchisees are all dead now, and it’s mostly east Indian immigrants have bought the outlying ones. IDK why exactly, I know they can cook, but they only bother when their restaurant serves their cuisine.
Greek is my favorite city
On the other hand, if you’ve eaten Altoona style pizza and lived then you no longer take living for granted.
Excuse you, St Louis style is great. You really need to try ultra thin crust and provel cheese
Done wrong, it’s hot glue on cardboard. But I love a flaky, crispy crust when done right.
Laughs in Naples, where pizza originated
Neapolitan style pizza is good, but it’s far from the only good style.
Pizza in Naples is trash.
Like a cracker
You can say that for most food in Europe.
(Yes this is intended to upset you Jan)
Detroit style is the best, fight me.
Detroit pizza is so fucking good. New York pizza is a greasy flap of falling toppings and Chicagoans will be the first to tell you chicago deep dish is an overrated cheese pool in a piecrust
I’m from Chicago and you don’t know anything about pizza. Chicago style Pizza is wildly popular for a reason, it is incredible.
You are so fucking right.
Chicago’s thin crust/tavern pizza is far better than deep dish. That’s what they should be promoting.
represent
I never heard of Detroit style but I think it looks very similar to what I would call a baking tray pizza (Blechpizza) in Germany.
No, not really. Detroit style has a much thinker crust, which is sort of what makes it unique.
Is “thinker” both thinner and thicker?
Lol, yeah lets go with that.
Pretty similar, yeah.
Big difference would be that the Detroit pizza is a fair bit greasier, and the cheese goes to the edge so there’s no visible crust.
It basically makes it so that the dough is fried rather than baked.That looks like what’s called a grandma pie in the NY area.
Yes quite similar looking
We call this style of pizza ‘deep dish’ here in Detroit which, I suppose, is just another name for the baking tray its cooked in. Though as the other commenter said, the deep dish allows you to cover it with cheese right up to the edge, which usually ends up dark and crunchy where it touches the pan.
I’ve known people to fight over the corner pieces and I think it was Jet’s that has a whole thing with an “8-corner pizza” (as in, two smaller pizzas in a box-shaped trenchcoat, cut into quarters so that every piece is a corner piece)
Thick, crispy, cheese-overloaded crust, that shit is awesome. I still think sauce-on-cheese is freaking stupid, but aside from that it’s a 10/10.
I am born and raised in metro Detroit and the only place I think I’ve seen this “sauce on cheese” you speak of is just now, in the ultra staged photos that came up when I searched “detroit-style pizza” to figure out what you meant
You’re right, this is blasphemy. Let the record show that this is not at all
authentic to Detroitwhat makes it a Detroit-style pizzaI don’t believe you. I’m also born and raised in Detroit and you’re only faking being a Detroiter if you haven’t had Jet’s Pizza, Buddy’s Pizza, or Nikki’s Pizza in Greektown. All 3 places are well-known in the metro area for their pizza and all 3 of them serve it sauce on cheese. That’s what makes a Detroit Pizza a Detroit Pizza. There’s also Shield’s Pizza which is also sauce on cheese but they weren’t in “Detroit” proper for years until 2019 (even though they originally opened in Detroit).
Did you grow up in the suburbs or something?
Edit: Shield’s and Buddy’s are the original Detroit pizzas. Anyone who tells you they know anything about Detroit pizza that hasn’t tried them is lying to you.
For the posers coming in here trying to redefine the classic, even Wikipedia knows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit-style_pizza. Note the image descriptions too:
“Detroit-style pizza showing typical lacy cheese crust edge and sauce on top”
“Detroit-style pizza showing sauce on top of some of the toppings, lacy cheese crust, and cheese to the edge”
Jets absolutely does not do sauce on cheese. Calling bullshit in your “born and raised” claim, son.
I’m sorry that your Jets sucks. The classic Detroit is a red top.
That’s Chicago pizza. Detroit has cheese on top.
False. It’s a red top with 3 stripes across the top.
Tell me you’ve never eaten a classic at Shield’s without telling me.
I mean just look up jets deep dish and not a single image that comes up has any sauce over the cheese. That’s how my deep dishes have always come from there or anywhere else. Haven’t eaten at Buddy’s and haven’t heard of Nikki’s or Shield’s. I said metro Detroit so yeah I grew up in the suburbs around Pontiac but I didn’t realize that invalidated my opinion and made me a “fake detroiter” lol
Edit: also what makes it Detroit pizza is that it’s cooked in a deep square dish with little to no bare bread on the outside edges, not the toppings or sauce arrangement. You can take that or leave it and it’s still detroit-style.
I mean… Pontiac is not Detroit so yeah. If you haven’t even heard of the original Detroit Pizza, Shield’s, then you’re not a born and raised Detroiter. You’re a born and raised “Pontiacan”.
And no, what makes it a Detroit-style pizza isn’t just that it’s cooked in the square dish (which was originally an oil or drip pan). A classic Detroit-style pizza is cooked in the square, deep dish with the sauce under and on top of the cheese. It’s called a red top and the sauce is added in strips. I don’t need to take or leave anything. I’m not taking lessons on Detroit pizza from someone who wasn’t even born and raised in Detroit.
Edit: This place is worse than Reddit when it comes to people not knowing what the eff they’re talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit-style_pizza
“Detroit-style pizza showing typical lacy cheese crust edge and sauce on top”
“Detroit-style pizza showing sauce on top of some of the toppings, lacy cheese crust, and cheese to the edge”
The original pizzas from Buddy’s and then Shield’s were red tops.
lol sorry I didn’t realize you were the official gatekeeper of who/what is or isn’t Detroit. I guess I’ll just ignore all of the local news networks that refer to my area as metro Detroit and the rest of the world that will say I’m from Detroit and talk to me about Detroit when I point my city out on a map. I’ll just take your word for it that I don’t belong here since I didn’t come from your specific neighborhood.
Not to mention all of the pizza I’ve had, literally from the first place you personally named as having Detroit-style pizza…
YOU don’t have to take or leave or believe anything. Really not sure why you’re centering yourself in this conversation like that. Neither the world nor the detroit area revolves around you personally and I’m not about to take food lessons either from someone with their head so comfortably shoved up their own ass…
Why would anyone take you seriously when you can’t even understand that Pontiac and Detroit are two different cities?
Just because people don’t know where Pontiac is doesn’t mean it’s suddenly the same thing as Detroit, especially when we’re discussing food from that specific city.
The only person with their head shoved somewhere is you, buddy. Don’t be clowning about our culture when you have no idea what it even is.
