Over the last decade, Detroit-style pizza has grown from a local pride point to one of the hottest food trends across America. Detroit style pizza is a rectangular pizza that has a thick crisp crust and toppings such as pepperoni and mushrooms. The difference between Detroit-style pizza, Chicago and New York styles is the crust, which is extra thick, very crispy on the bottom and with a crispy cheese edge. The rectangular-shaped pizza is the result of being baked in a square pan, which is often not a pizza pan; industrial parts trays are often used, which were originally made to hold small parts in factories.
The crust of a Detroit-style pizza is occasionally twice-baked and it is usually baked in a well-oiled pan to a chewy medium-well-done state that gives the bottom and edges of the crust a fried or crunchy texture. Some parlors will apply melted butter with a soft brush prior to baking. And often the sauce is put on top to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
This should be a fairly each park and grab. You may want to grab something else while you are here.
Congratulations to mmc881 for the FTF. Did you grab a slice?
