Typical Detroit-style pizza is rectangular with a thick crust, cheese and tomato sauce. Pictured above is a pizza from Emmy Squared in the Queen Village neighborhood of South Philly.
Pizza Hut's newest menu item is Detroit-style pizza, available nationwide. The rectangular-shaped pie with a thick crust and cheese to the edges comes in four varieties. There's Double Pepperoni, Double Cheesy, Meaty Deluxe and Supremo.
The chain said it spent more than a year developing its Detroit-style pizzas, trying out more than 500 iterations and creating a new tomato sauce.
That ... seems like a lot of work. But it might be a step in the right direction to gain new customers and keep people talking about the brand.
