Pizza Hut Launches ‘Detroit-Style’ Pizza, and America Says ‘Huh?’

This week, Pizza Hut launched its new Detroit-style pizza.

There’s just one problem: A lot of people have no clue what that is.

“Detroit style? I’ve never heard of it,” said Mike Zurek, 70, who has lived in Chicago nearly all his life. For him, there is only one deep-dish pizza: Chicago style. “But every place has its way of making it unique.”

Even some Detroiters are a bit puzzled. Karen Gunderson stopped by a Pizza Hut in suburban Detroit this week to pick up a stuffed-crust pie. She had seen on the news that the pizza-making chain was rolling out a Detroit-style version but wasn’t quite sure what to make of it.

“I’m not really familiar with Detroit style,” said Ms. Gunderson, 72, who grew up in the area and has lived there most of her life. She is open to trying Pizza Hut’s newest creation, and hopes it’s as good as its signature stuffed crust.

Domino's got the same reaction when they introduced the Brooklyn Style. People in Brooklyn said WTF.

Sh*t Brooklyn People Say

“Don’t Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me The Piers” ???

[Pennsyltucky Boy]

Pliers... Hand me the pliers.

Detroit Pizza is kind of a cross between Salt Lake Style and Fargo Style

Bullet holes in the dough make it special

[Does so]

It comes with a spent bullet in it...

They should mold some kind of gangster box prop and deliver it with various molded objects.....collect all 10 of the Detroit pizza molds

It will prevent the image from scrolling off the right side of the screen.

Depends upon the screen size from which you are watching
table top to hand held.

Maybe they add crack cocaine to flavor the crust?

[Little Ray]

The fact that someone actually says “Huh?” is a net win for Pizza Hut. It means that they have his attention.

Porgy, you’re a white-man- you’ve got to help us

[HartleyMBaldwin]

You win!

[upchuck]

Even better, use width=50%. That way the image occupies 50% (or what ever percentage you select) of the screen, no matter what the actual screen width is.

"Pizza Hut Launches ‘Detroit-Style’ Pizza..."

Reminds me of Warren Zevon's 'Willy On A Plate':

Jet’s is a chain, but a very good one. Their sauce actually tastes like pizza sauce rather than the spaghetti sauce flavor that permeates other chains. Once you cook tomato sauce, the flavor changes. I think the heat kills the fresh oregano flavor.
