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.
Louie's is in fact the best. I wish I lived closer to it. I like Niki's downtown too.
Hazel park is the one I'm usually going to. It's definitely one of my favorites!
It’s pretty good, but doesn’t satisfy the same craving as a good slice of NY style.
That said, there’s a place here in Seattle called Moto Pizza that makes incredible Detroit-styles pies.
Those do look good. Take the ferry to Kingston some time and try Sourdough Willy's. Their Detroit is amazing.
Shoutout to 211 in Lancaster, PA that makes a killer D-style (and an even more killerer NY style)
Buddy's and Jet's. Little Caesar's Pan pizza is decent for a cheaper option of Detroit style.
Descendant on Queen East if you're in Toronto.
I like them both for different reasons and depending in what I'm in the mood for.
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.
Never had it until recently. We tried it from a place called Pi-Squared Pizza in Hendersonville, NC. It was great, and we’d like to try it from other places now.
I love Detroit style pizza!
For others asking: Detroit style is kind of like Sicilian pizza. Pan baked, rectangular, yeast crust, thick, chewy, crispy on the edges. Bottom layer is cheese. Then toppings and sauce that is usually a stripe of sauce.
The texture reminds me of old school Pizza Hut pan pizza. Thick, airy, oily, and my favorite part is the little crispy craggy bits on the top edge of the crust.
In Maryland we have a couple really great Detroit pizza joints. Underground Pizza in Baltimore is my favorite and quite good, but pretty pricey. Rad Pies is a little more remote but is quite good as well.
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.
