Detroit-style pizza
Detroit-style pizza is a style of pizza, developed in Detroit, Michigan, that is very close to the Sicilian style pizzas, or is also known in other places as 'Italian bakery style pizza'. It is a square pizza, with a thick deep-dish crust (sometimes twice baked), and with sauce put on the pizza last.[citation needed] It's sometimes described as a lot like a cross between Sfinciuni with a more traditional pizza build.[citation needed]
The origins of "Detroit-style" pizza are from local Detroit pizzeria , Cloverleaf Pizza, who developed and began serving their signature pizza in 1946.[citation needed] Cloverleaf founder Gus Guerra went on to found Buddy's Pizza, which is one of the Detroit chains that serves Detroit-style pizza.[citation needed] Other chains that serve Detroit-style pizza include Loui's Pizza and Shield's Pizza.
Despite its Detroit origins, it is rarely referred to as "Detroit-style" pizza in Metro Detroit.[citation needed] Locally it is more often simply called either square, or deep-dish pizza.[citation needed]
