lived in the Detroit area almost 50 years and never hard Detroit Style pizza to describe square pizza until we moved.
That said, I can see the complaints. I love square pizza and that looks awful.
Detroit style pizza. Its pizza with the sauce on top of the cheese. its disgustingly messy and is nothing worth going out of the way for. its basically ass backwards pizza with extra sauce.
As far as I'm concerned, ain't no such thing. They just tried keeping up with "NY style" pizza, "Deli style" pizza ads......
These pizzas in different styles have been around here in S.E. Michigan for years.......
FWIW, seems like there are pizza joints every two blocks from me here in Macomb.
