What is “Detroit-style" pizza? A Detroit-style pizza is a square pie with a spongy, Sicilian-style focaccia dough that's been baked in an industrial square pan. In fact, the first Detroit-style pizzas that Buddy's Pizza made back in 1946 were actually baked in a steel auto-pan - can you think of anything more Detroit than that? Detroit-style pizza also has a “red top”, meaning that the pizza sauce is drizzled over the top of all of the cheese and other toppings. While traditional pizza recipes often call for mozzarella cheese, Detroit-style pizza - funnily enough - is actually made using Wisconsin brick cheese. This mild and fatty cheese is unique to Buddy’s Pizza. When you're at Buddy’s Pizza be sure to ask for a Pepperoni and Wisconsin brick cheese pizza with sauce on top. You won't be disappointed! Their signature pizza - “The Detroiter” - is another fantastic option that you have to try.
