I just bought some dough and sauce, and sausage from Cosettas today. I’ll bust out the pizza stone in the next couple of days to make the pie.

I'm thinking about picking up a pan and giving it a shot sometime.

Cool! This will be a great dinner project for the kids and I tonight.

It reminds me of Rocky Rococo's with the square slices.

LOVED Shakeys. There was one in Escanaba, Michigan and we'd always go there in high school. Mojos!  I believe they still have a few locations open in California?

Shakey's was THE place to go when I was a kid.

They're still around the left coast.  But they were a big thing when I was a kid, too.

Shakeys definitely brings back some childhood memories.

we made pizzas last night and for those that make their own... candian bacon and pickled jalapenos with extra sauce,   I think I might have a new favorite!

Fargo had a Shakeys with a Player Piano.  Loved the smell of the place when you walked in.

I grew up in Michigan, about 45 minutes from Detroit. So, yes this is definitely a thing. Detroit pizza, Vernors, Faygo, Coney Dogs.... all tastes of home. Growing up, I thought that was just how pizza was supposed to be.

My reasons for going back to Michigan are gone now, so every now and then I order it and have it shipped. I haven't found anything in town close to the actual stuff from Detroit. Jets will do in a pinch. Though Wrecktangle pizza in Minneapolis opened in December and is supposed to be pretty good. It's on my list to try:

I live in NW Indiana, but Faygo was pretty popular around here. Cheaper than Coke/Pepsi, so as a kid I drank a lot of it, plus RC Cola.
Anyway, Faygo Rock and Rye was my absolute favorite. As I got older, I’d mix a little Spiced Rum with it. It’s really good. 

The company I used to work for was headquartered in Southfield, Michigan and when I couldn’t get Rock and Rye around me, I’d ask one of the engineers from our HQ to pick me up a couple of cases and bring it down for me.
