Here in the Motor City, we’re well-versed in what “Detroit-style pizza” is, where it originated and why its crispy square crust is so craveable.
The gospel of Motown s square slices made famous by names like Buddy s, Cloverleaf, Jet s, Loui s, Shield s and others has been spreading for a few years, with Detroit-style pizzerias opening outside of Michigan in New York, Pennsylvania and Denver. Some people even expressly give a nod to our city in their name, like Via 313 Pizzeria in Austin, Texas, and Motown Square Pizza in Washington, D.C.
