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

A good quality Detroit-style, like from Buddy’s or from Frank’s in Wyandotte a little Southwest of Detroit, those are my favorite pizzas. If I’m getting something cheaper like Jet’s though I actually prefer the round.
Frank’s is my favorite lol
Borderline whether it should count as pizza but the prosciutto pie is crazy good.
What defines Detroit style?
Dough cooked with motor oil.
Sounds a bit greasy
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
Until Jon Stewart’s rant about Chicago Style deep dish, I had always thought I had Chicago style. But it’s actually Detroit style that I’ve had.
Personally, I prefer New York style, tho.
I’m not sure what style the pizza I like is called, it’s just pizza. But I know I detest Chicago deep dish, and new york style. One is more of a casserole than a pizza, and the other is like paper with toppings on it.
But it’s delicious paper. 🥹
You probably like what I’ve heard called Napoli style. That’s a normal crust that’s not super thin but also not super thick. It is supposedly the traditional style. But this is from American places so IDFK 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds right, but I know about as much as you (maybe less)
A place in Austin texas called Via 313. It is fantastic pizza!
I love Via 313, but it’s gone downhill in recent years, unfortunately. The wait times are ridiculously long, the prices have skyrocketed, and the quality has lowered. Honestly, I could deal with the lower quality if either the price or the wait time went down. It’s bad enough paying $15 for a small pan pizza, but it’s even worse when it takes 90 minutes to get to you, after you’ve already been in line for 20 minutes.
Though, that’s true for pretty much all the pizza places around here. They’ve all just gotten progressively worse, and it’s really sad. :(
I’ll have to give it a try
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.
8 mile and Wyoming checking in.
As a Michigander it’s funny to me that 4 major nationwide pizza chains are from Michigan (jets, hungry howies, little Caesars, and dominos), I don’t really think of Michigan pizza as particularly noteworthy.
Long time sf bay resident I think best east bay Detroit style is fat apples in Berkeley or El cerrito. (And since it keeps coming up in the comments, best east bay deep dish/chicago style is little star over Zachary’s, I live between the two off solano and stand firm in this decision)

Chicago style is with sauce on top, Detroit style is rectangle deep dish because they originally baked the pizza in oil pans. Or so the legend goes.

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
I make them at home because most pizza in Sacramento sucks.
I totally forgot about Detroit-style. It’s good too!
I had a quick look online and it looks like the exact sort of pizza I try to avoid.
I’ve lived in the Detroit area all my life and only a couple of years ago did I realize that it was a regional style of pizza. Just always assumed square pizza was a norm. And I just don’t prefer it to a standard round pizza with a thick sauce.
Detroit style is the freaking best
Love it. Here in Los Angeles we have Detroit pizza depot. A sausage one with a faygo red pop is amazing.
