Pizza Today -December 2022 - 21

D
etroit, Michigan. Have
you ever been there? If
you were to ask 100 pizza
makers from across the country, I
would bet maybe half have ever
actually been to Detroit, and yet the
very distinctive pan pizza that comes
out of Detroit has been spreading
like wildfire across the country for
the past few years.
Detroit is known throughout history
as " Motor City " , the birthplace
of the automobile boom beginning
in the early 20th century... but it
boasts a lot more. Detroit is the
birthplace of the Motown record
label as well as the second city
after New York to host teams in all
four major sports leagues and is the
home of notorious rapper Eminem.
If you're reading this, those things
are cool. But what about the pizza?
Detroit and its outer limits are the
home of Little Caesars and Jet's, two
franchises that have blown up since
their humble beginnings.
Detroit style is known for
being cooked in a rectangular
pan with caramelized cheese
around the rim and stripes of
sauce. The stripes are up for debate
depending on who you ask, but certain
characteristics define the style
no matter if you come from the old
school or are part of the new school.
Regardless of which school of
thought you follow, Detroit style has
made a dramatic impact on the pizza
industry and chains like Pizza Hut
have started making it, which tells
me Detroit style is here to stay.
I had the pleasure of visiting
Detroit not too long ago, and boy,
was it eye opening. Through my own
research and product development I
knew what the main characteristics
were and what I was looking for,
but I had no clue what the original
shops were making. Originally, the
pizzas were made in blue steel pans
that were once used to clean tools
but then utilized to make pizza
because... why not? Shops like Buddy's
and Cloverleaf are still using the
old pans. But blue steel is not made
anymore, so unfortunately what pans
are out there are highly coveted.
The main cheese used is Brick,
native to Wisconsin. It melts nicely
like a mozzarella and has a flavor
profile that is fairly mild, but as it
ages can become more pungent like
a cheddar. Some shops like Buddy's
are putting pepperoni and other
ingredients under the cheese while
some put them on top. The sauce
is not super thick and I have seen
anything from stripes to splotches
