When is National Detroit-style Pizza Day?

Friday June 23rd

Join the celebrations born in the birthplace of the American Automobile and Motown, on June 23rd. The square-cut pizza style first appeared at Buddy's Pizza in 1946 in the city that also gave the Mustang, as well as the first paved road. The first paved road was the first paved road in Detroit. And Detroit-Style Pizza is certainly Detroit's finest contribution.

What makes it Detroit-Style? It all starts with the crust, which is both deep and thick in composition and yet light and airy in taste. The steel square pans (borrowed from the car industry) give it a unique shape and one-of-a-kind flavor. The authentic Detroit-Style Pizzas layer the toppings backward, meaning they lay the gourmet pepperoni directly on the hand-stretched dough. The next batch of Wisconsin Brick Cheese comes next, with a generous layer of Wisconsin Brick Cheese spreading all the way to the pan's edges. The resulting caramelized cheese gives an extremely crisp crust. Finally, racing stripes of tomato sauce finish the top..

Detroit-Style Pizza has expanded beyond Buddy's into a national phenomenon that you can find from Brooklyn to Denver to Los Angeles.
