Detroit style

Pan pizza variety

Detroit style describes a variety of pizza baked in a rectangular steel pan, producing a thick, airy crust with crispy, caramelized cheese edges.

The cheese extends to the pan's sides, creating the characteristic frico crust.

Toppings typically go under the cheese, with sauce ladled on top in racing stripes.

We ordered a Detroit-style pepperoni with those crispy cheese corners.
