Detroit-Style Pizza Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Detroit-style pizza is a thick crust pie native to michigan. The crust is fluffy and cooked in a large rectangular pan, much like a sicilian-style pizza. The cheese is sprinkled all the way to the edges of the pizza, creating a crispy, crunchy, cheesy crust that is truly irresistible. The pizza dough is very moist before you cook it, which creates a chewy, yet soft crust on the inside. The pan is brushed with butter before adding the dough, making it crispy and crunchy on the outside. There are many different restaurants in detroit that carry this style of pizza as well as a few chains, like little caesars. Some of the pizzerias put the cheese first, then the toppings and sauce, while others do the sauce first. We put the sauce on before the cheese and on top along with the toppings. Any way you choose, this pizza is incredibly delicious.
