Anyone ever had Detroit style Pizza? There's a new place in Denver called Blue Pan Pizza that specializes in Detroit style Pizza. Honestly never heard of it before and was reluctant to try since it's a thicker pizza. Always hated thick pizzas--especially Chicago style deep dish; I'm much more of a NY thin crust guy.
But, man, this was the best thick pizza I've ever tasted. Apparently, what defines a "Detroit" pizza is its caramelized crust, making it nice and crispy on the bottom and edges. And the crust isn't DOUGHY, (that's what I hate about thick pizzas), it's light and flaky. Damn, I can't stop thinking about it.
Heard of it, never had it...
We have a place here called Punch pizza. Italia pizza oven, super light crust with lots of air pockets - I can eat it and not feel too guilty.
let me guess, square in shape, built with cheese all the way to edges of the pan and the sauce on top of that? oh yeah... good stuff right there, but then again I havent really ever found a slice I wouldnt eat.. except for the wierdos that put anchovies and other seafood/fish on theirs...bleh.

Yep, that's exactly it...

IIRC what I had the meat was hidden under the cheese, but I like this way as well so the pepperoni grease doesnt sog things up.
Blue Pan is supposed to be one of the best Detroit-style shops outside the Motor City. I'll have to try it next time I make it out that way.
after looking at this thread my re-heated chow mein isnt going to be nearly as satisfying as I was hoping..
EDIT: and I was right. might have to make some homemade pizza tonight.
You guys ever had St. Louis style pizza? They use a cheese called Provel instead of mozzarella. Its cut into squares. REALLY good, IMO. Used to get it when I lived in KC at a place called Imo's.

Yeah, they've won 1st place awards at pizza competitions in Paris and Italy. This from their website: A t the 2013 and 2014 International Pizza Challenge in Las Vegas, the largest pizza show in the world with over 10,000 attendees, Smoke’s “Authentic Detroit Style Pizza” won first place two years in row, and earned him the prestigious title of World Champion.
