If so, what’s your favorite place to get it from?
If not, would you want to try it?

Nope, I’m European so I’ve never heard of it tbh. I like pizza, so I wouldn’t mind trying if I ever end up ip in the area somehow
The Detroit at Sourdough Willy’s in Kingston, WA is outstanding.
Is it worth the ferry ride? Or should I wait for the occasion to be on that side any way. I’m only out that way every 6 months, yet live near Lynnwood, so walk on would be a afternoon outing.
It’s right by the terminal on the Kingston side so walk on would be easy. The crust is amazing. Their sourdough starter originated in 1897. They let the crust rise for two days. It is incredible and I really wish I could drive up there now.
A cool thought about sourdough starters is that they are unique. A starter from 1897 should impart a flavor unlike any other starter. It’s like the snowflake of the yeasty realm.
Was just popping in to say this! All of their pizza is great but the “Detroit-style New Yorker” is amazing. Pepperoni, Italian sausage, ricotta dollops, pizza sauce, Mike’s hot honey & basil. Or the cup & char if you just want a great Detroit-style pepperoni.
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’ve had Detroit style pizza, but I can’t say I liked it very much compared to other pizza styles so I don’t have good recommendations.
My favorite is neapolitan pizza so I’d recommend trying one if you come across a place that does them and haven’t tried it yet.
Pizza Wizard in Rochester NY is unbeatable
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
Shoutout to 211 in Lancaster, PA that makes a killer D-style (and an even more killerer NY style)
hi, i live near detroit.
buddy’s is our go to spot. it’s fantastic. :)
however, i was raised for 18 years in the st. louis area so that’s my preference- STL style thin crispy crust, provel cheese, square cut. pretty opposite to what you’ll find in a detroit style 'za.
In St. Louis (e- and many other places apparently, didn’t know they were a larger chain) if you want Detroit style pizza, Jet’s is the place.
I’ve had Buddy’s pizza when visiting the Detroit area and I thought it was really good.
I have a Jet’s near me and it’s one my favorites to get takeout from.
Buddy’s was the original but it is far from the best.
Jet’s Pizza and Rocky Rococo are 2 chains that serve Detroit style if you’re looking to try it.
Ayyyy, fellow Jets enjoyer!
Second (or i guess, like, 4th?) jets. I almost always try to order a pizza from there when i’m in town.
Yes! I loved Rocky Rococo’s! Jets can almost scratch that itch, but I wish there were still Rocky Rococo’s near me.
I didn’t even realize Jets was more than a Wisconsin thing
Its based out of Detroit. As is Dominos, Little Caesars, and Hungry Howies. Detroit is the pizza capital of the US.
They are everywhere in Michigan.
Jets pizza opened up recently near me in Texas.
It was pretty good for my first try of Detroit style.
As a Texan with a wife from Detroit, other than individual little pizzerias, Jets is gonna be the best Detroit style you’ll probably find.
Gotta give it up for Buddy’s in Detroit though.
Detroit really is a great place to get food though.
My BIL, trying to get enough airline miles for something, once flew into Detroit just to eat, then flew back. He is enamored by aviation though, the type of person to go to the airport to watch planes take off and land. Then again, he gets into the centurion club free, so he can wait until the last minute to get to his gate, and get free food and alcohol so maybe he just misses most of the hassles of flying.
Detroiter here! If you’re ever in the detroit/metro detroit area, you gotta try Louie’s pizza or Detroit style pizza company. Both are amazing!
I’m local but haven’t heard of Louie’s, I’ll have to check it out.
Hazel park is the one I’m usually going to. It’s definitely one of my favorites!
Louie’s is in fact the best. I wish I lived closer to it. I like Niki’s downtown too.
Client of mine took me to a place north of the airport that had pizza and wings and it was really good. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t had Detroit style before. I think it was Buddys, but can’t be sure.
Descendant on Queen East if you’re in Toronto.
Yes, it’s great and I enjoy it more than flatbread or thin crust. My fave is from Patxi’s in Santa Barbara, CA
