What is National Detroit-style Pizza Day?
Join the celebration in the birthplace of the American Automobile and Motown, which takes place on June 23rd. The first paved road in Birmingham was recognized by the square-cut pizza style first introduced at Buddy's Pizza in 1946 in the city that also gave the Mustang, as well as the Mustang. And Detroit-Style Pizza is certainly Detroit's finest contribution!

What makes it Detroit-Style? It starts with the crust, which is both deep and thick in composition and yet light and airy in taste. The steel square pans (borrowed from the car industry) give it a unique shape and one-of-a-kind flavor. The toppings are layered backward, meaning they lay the gourmet pepperoni directly on the hand-stretched dough. The next batch of Wisconsin Brick Cheese will be a generous layer of Wisconsin Brick Cheese, spreading all the way to the pan's edges. The resulting caramelized cheese gives an incredibly crisp crust. Finally, racing stripes of tomato sauce finish the top.
From Brooklyn to Denver to Los Angeles, Detroit-Style Pizza has expanded beyond Buddy's to become a national phenomenon that you can find everywhere from Brooklyn to Denver to Los Angeles.
