When it comes to the pies, you’ll find that Detroit is not far off from Chicago-style. This square pizza is thick and hearty with plenty of cheese and toppings, similar to a deep-dish pizza.

Like a good Chicago pan pizza, the pies here have crispy edges due to the caramelized crust. You can even order a gluten-free pizza here.
