If so, what’s your favorite place to get it from?
If not, would you want to try it?

Omg yes and it’s my favorite. Absolutely hands down, the best.
There is a place in Vancouver called AJ’s brooklyn pizza joint that does a Detroit style pizza, I’ll usually grab one every couple of months.
Until Jon Stewart’s rant about Chicago Style deep dish, I had always thought I had Chicago style. But it’s actually Detroit style that I’ve had.
Personally, I prefer New York style, tho.
I’m not sure what style the pizza I like is called, it’s just pizza. But I know I detest Chicago deep dish, and new york style. One is more of a casserole than a pizza, and the other is like paper with toppings on it.
But it’s delicious paper. 🥹
You probably like what I’ve heard called Napoli style. That’s a normal crust that’s not super thin but also not super thick. It is supposedly the traditional style. But this is from American places so IDFK 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds right, but I know about as much as you (maybe less)
Nope, I’m European so I’ve never heard of it tbh. I like pizza, so I wouldn’t mind trying if I ever end up ip in the area somehow
I’ve had Detroit style pizza, but I can’t say I liked it very much compared to other pizza styles so I don’t have good recommendations.
My favorite is neapolitan pizza so I’d recommend trying one if you come across a place that does them and haven’t tried it yet.
Lived on Detroit style all my life, and while it’ll always be central to my selection of favorites, NY thin crust does it best for me, with L&B’s Sicilian style taking a special nod.
I’ve lived in the Detroit area all my life and only a couple of years ago did I realize that it was a regional style of pizza. Just always assumed square pizza was a norm. And I just don’t prefer it to a standard round pizza with a thick sauce.
A good quality Detroit-style, like from Buddy’s or from Frank’s in Wyandotte a little Southwest of Detroit, those are my favorite pizzas. If I’m getting something cheaper like Jet’s though I actually prefer the round.
Frank’s is my favorite lol
Borderline whether it should count as pizza but the prosciutto pie is crazy good.
I love Detroit style pizza!
For others asking: Detroit style is kind of like Sicilian pizza. Pan baked, rectangular, yeast crust, thick, chewy, crispy on the edges. Bottom layer is cheese. Then toppings and sauce that is usually a stripe of sauce.
The texture reminds me of old school Pizza Hut pan pizza. Thick, airy, oily, and my favorite part is the little crispy craggy bits on the top edge of the crust.
In Maryland we have a couple really great Detroit pizza joints. Underground Pizza in Baltimore is my favorite and quite good, but pretty pricey. Rad Pies is a little more remote but is quite good as well.
Jet’s Pizza and Rocky Rococo are 2 chains that serve Detroit style if you’re looking to try it.
I didn’t even realize Jets was more than a Wisconsin thing
Its based out of Detroit. As is Dominos, Little Caesars, and Hungry Howies. Detroit is the pizza capital of the US.
They are everywhere in Michigan.
Jets pizza opened up recently near me in Texas.
It was pretty good for my first try of Detroit style.
As a Texan with a wife from Detroit, other than individual little pizzerias, Jets is gonna be the best Detroit style you’ll probably find.
Gotta give it up for Buddy’s in Detroit though.
Detroit really is a great place to get food though.
My BIL, trying to get enough airline miles for something, once flew into Detroit just to eat, then flew back. He is enamored by aviation though, the type of person to go to the airport to watch planes take off and land. Then again, he gets into the centurion club free, so he can wait until the last minute to get to his gate, and get free food and alcohol so maybe he just misses most of the hassles of flying.
I had a quick look online and it looks like the exact sort of pizza I try to avoid.
8 mile and Wyoming checking in.
As a Michigander it’s funny to me that 4 major nationwide pizza chains are from Michigan (jets, hungry howies, little Caesars, and dominos), I don’t really think of Michigan pizza as particularly noteworthy.
Long time sf bay resident I think best east bay Detroit style is fat apples in Berkeley or El cerrito. (And since it keeps coming up in the comments, best east bay deep dish/chicago style is little star over Zachary’s, I live between the two off solano and stand firm in this decision)
I’ve had Buddy’s pizza when visiting the Detroit area and I thought it was really good.
I have a Jet’s near me and it’s one my favorites to get takeout from.
Buddy’s was the original but it is far from the best.
The Detroit at Sourdough Willy’s in Kingston, WA is outstanding.
I make them at home because most pizza in Sacramento sucks.
