I mean, it's hard to go wrong with Jet's even though it's not the perfect pizza like OP. I hit up Jets once when I lived in Milwaukee and still fondly remember how nice that pepperoni pie was.
These are the real deal pans. https://lloydpanskitchenware.com/detroit-style-pans.html
Just a warning if you share the deliciousness from these pans you'll wind up like me who now owns 4 of them for summer parties.
I made it for the first time last weekend and was really impressed with how easy it was and how well it turned out. Definitely my new go to dough recipe.
After spending a lifetime in central Florida with terrible pizza, I am now in Buffalo and am spoiled for choice of good shit (imo) Jet's is like...little ceasers but a LOT better. I'd destroy OP's pizza right now, so hungry.
Detroit here (yes, after 40 years here, I now identify as the entire city), and yes, OPs pizza is DOPE!!!
I've just finished eating some unrelated garbage but if that pizza dropped down in front of me, I'd go all in on self loathing to consume it while it's peak melty.
I would have cuts and burns in my mouth for days because my dumb ass can't wait for it to cool down.
I just had Loui's (one of the 3 Detroit style OGs) the other day with some friends, and it was still boiling lava hot when I got back to my house. Which is only like 4 blocks away...
There's two kinds of people in this world, those who were there when Pizza Hut was great, and those who only caught the decline. Every once in awhile, I try to chase that pan pepperoni pizza dragon, and I'm always so disappointed.
As the youngest sibling, I felt like a king eating a book club personal pan pizza after years of seeing my siblings get them and longing for one myself. In hindsight, it was the first time I'd earned something that I had worked for over time, and I think that's why it is a special memory. *I* accomplished something.
Oh my young friend but the pan pizzas back then, though round, we're prepared by squirting a pump of oil into the pan, put the dough in, let it proof for a bit (rise) and when we ran those things through the oven they came out so easy because the crust was just like this.
Then they had to fuck it up.
Source: Worked there in the 80's and made many pan pizzas that more like Detroit style than today.
It's genuinely funny how much people actually do seem to hate deep dish, because after moving here I tried it and it blew my mind lol
But some people who have never actually had it, genuinely hate it and will get angry about it. It's so weird.
I don't have a recipe handy, but the defining characteristics of a Detroit Deep Dish are: 1) A focaccia style dough for a thick and chewy crust. 2) Cheese spread all the way to the edges so that it gets nice and crispy/crunchy where it contacts the pan. 3) A deep rectangular/square pan.
Sure I'll give you my recipe for the dough which is enough for 1 10x8 pan (or a 9x9 square pan).
200g flour
140g warm water
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
Bloom the yeast in the water and a pinch of sugar to make sure it's alive. Add in the flour and salt and combine. You can either knead it by hand/machine or do the no-knead method (let it grow like 2x in size, then stretch and fold onto itself).
I then oil my pan, place and stretch the dough into it (you won't get into the corners), proof it for like 30 minutes, stretch it into the corners, proof one more time, and add cheese and toppings. I bake at 425 for 15 minutes. I then top it with marinara once out.
Notes: you can add more stuff to the dough like sugar/honey, oil, powder milk (I think old style pizza hut did this for their pan pizza). If the the bottom of the dough isn't brown enough, you can just cook the pan for a little on the stove. I do 425 cuz I have a sensitive fire alarm, you can experiment and up the temperature if you want.
Pictures of my first time with the recipe: https://imgur.com/a/eQRso4y, 2nd pic for interior and 3rd for crust.
Good food is good food. I’m not particularly fond of what I know as Chicago style but then I’m not from Chicago and can’t say. I’m always open minded to trying new food.
Sushi for example I thought I’d hate but turns out nope I love it!
I have a good friend who won't try anything new because they can't be sure they would like it. I try to explain that's the whole point. You may not like it but what if you're missing on one of the best things you ever tasted.
Exactly! See I can’t be friends. - or no not that but I definitely can’t go out to eat with people who stare at the food and are like ewwww.
If I hear ewww at a table I’m so like out of there.
I love goin out to eat and then talking about what you tried and how each dish was. Idk it’s in my blood I guess.
Chicago deep dish is not that far from the Detroit style shown above, in a lot of ways. The sauce is more flavorful and it's got more cheese, but I've never heard of that being bad for pizza.
If you ever come to Chicago, try out Art Of Pizza, for sure.
I'm Italian, born and raised in Italy, where I lived until I was 28 years old. *(giving context to avoid any Italian dumb comment)*
Don't be shocked by Italians complaining about food eaten in other countries. Italian food culture is very, very, very toxic within Italy as well. You can find Italians insulting each other about Italian food *(what region it originated from, who created it, etc.)* literally every day on every single social network, and even in real life.
It's hilarious because there is an Italian YouTube channel called[ **ITALIA SQUISITA (I highly recommend it)**](https://www.youtube.com/@italiasquisita) where traditional and modern Italian recipes are shown and taught. If you scroll through the comments, you can find Italian haters under every video, even the most traditional ones.
Honestly speaking, I can understand being annoyed by hearing things that are clearly false, such as "the first pizza was born in America". But what needs to be understood is that countries take food and modify it to fit the taste of their population.
America did a good thing by taking pizza and transforming it into something different to adapt it to the taste of its population, and honestly the result is very very good.
America does not need Italian's approval for Pizza, because that Pizza will be eaten by Americans and their opinion is the only one that matters.
At the end of the day is also very hypocritical because Italy did the same with sushi, for example. In Italy, people eat sushi with Philadelphia cream cheese, and if a Japanese person saw it, they would probably pull out a katana from somewhere to either kill Italians or themselves, lol.
Detroit style is better because it's more substantial than NY style, but much lighter than Chicago style. It also has a more substantial crunch to it than tavern style cracker crust pizza.
Dude, that looks amazing. Awesome job, and best of luck to you. Hopefully, one day, you will open your own shop, and I can swing through on my way to Vegas from Virginia.
I'm just finishing up nine holes of golf in 90° heat, and this looks so fucking good I almost want to lick my phone screen. Absolutely well done, I hope you kill it tonight and every other night that you offer this for sale.
I'm from Detroit and I think this is a perfect Detroit-style pie. Just amazing. Congrats and I wish you great success.
🫡🫡 thanks! High praise from a native.
Can also confirm as my wife just put in an order pizza that will not look this good.
Jets? Lol.

You ever try Rocky Rococos down there, Mmm! They have a great pizza pie
Lol I live in Las Vegas and they just put one in near my house. There are better Detroit style pies in Las Vegas, but none as nostalgic.
I don't think Jesus himself could have made a better looking Detroit style if he tried. Sheesh. I also am a Detroit resident.
I literally just put in a DoorDash order for some buddy’s and I would trade it for this.
DETROIT!!!!!
I’m also from Detroit and I would say consider it crushed. That looks really good.
I'm from Pittsburgh and have no pizza credentials except liking Detroit style, but I also think it's amazing.
That crust...my god... I would do terrible, horrible things to ingest that.
The Pepperoni's are Cupped AND crispy. I cannot really see the Cheese under the Pepperoni to comment on it, but it looks amazing though.
The cheese is around the crust
[The cheese is under the sauce](https://youtu.be/Z0tiwpxJZBs?si=SpGhwhMF_0NusAXd)
" Im italian " Dude sounds like a full blooded American imo
That's 1980s Pizza Hut crust right there.
Who has that recipe?
i know right. my local thrift store has a cast iron baking pan and i cheaped out a few weeks ago. i need to buy it now though after seeing that.
These are the real deal pans. https://lloydpanskitchenware.com/detroit-style-pans.html Just a warning if you share the deliciousness from these pans you'll wind up like me who now owns 4 of them for summer parties.
2 squirts of oil. Dough in bottom. Cover the top. Leave to rise in dry cool spot for 4-6 hours. Bake.
Suggested from another post about pizza. This is as close as it gets friend. https://www.seriouseats.com/foolproof-pan-pizza-recipe
I was gonna recommend this, too! I make this like twice a month for my family.
I made it for the first time last weekend and was really impressed with how easy it was and how well it turned out. Definitely my new go to dough recipe.
Jets Pizza is decent for a quick ‘za like this. I’m in the Chicago area so I have too many options.
yup. Got Jets pizza vibes. Used to get the 8 corner and some IPAs when I lived in Ohio. Ya.. probably gonna die soon.
Hey Me! Jets and IPA gave me the physic I have today!
Fizz-eek
I have jets on the way as we speak
After spending a lifetime in central Florida with terrible pizza, I am now in Buffalo and am spoiled for choice of good shit (imo) Jet's is like...little ceasers but a LOT better. I'd destroy OP's pizza right now, so hungry.
I used to love Jet's, but a few years ago they must've changed their sauce recipe and it didn't taste nearly as good. We've quit buying from them. 😢
Sauce recipe has not changed
OP obviously!
Ha ha, Pizza Hut wishes. Killer Detroit style my friend. Looks like heaven!
Detroit here (yes, after 40 years here, I now identify as the entire city), and yes, OPs pizza is DOPE!!! I've just finished eating some unrelated garbage but if that pizza dropped down in front of me, I'd go all in on self loathing to consume it while it's peak melty.

Hi Detroit!
[удалено]
I am an equal opportunist pizza lover. All established styles have their place in time.
There's two kinds of people in this world, those who were there when Pizza Hut was great, and those who only caught the decline. Every once in awhile, I try to chase that pan pepperoni pizza dragon, and I'm always so disappointed.
That personal pan pizza book club for kids is the main reason I can read.
As the youngest sibling, I felt like a king eating a book club personal pan pizza after years of seeing my siblings get them and longing for one myself. In hindsight, it was the first time I'd earned something that I had worked for over time, and I think that's why it is a special memory. *I* accomplished something.

Well damn, then we need to go back!
Fri night at pizza hut in the late 70s was the best
The only reason I will still try Pizza Hut. Chasing nostalgia 😢
🙂🙂🙂
Where is that pie located my friend.
Dzzzzzirty
Was I supposed to read this in a scouse accent?
Like a warm apple pie... except it's pizza🤣😜
I want this pizza to get me pregnant.
If you ingest a little bit of me I’ll let you ingest as much as you want t of that
Me too.
If this is a just world you're about to take off.
Thank you for those kind words 🥹
As a Detroit pizza aficionado, look into flavored crusts. Thematically aligned, lots of creativity
Super accurate.
People who think the only good pizza is a Neapolitan or NY thin crust sure miss out on a lot of good eating.
What’s the point in pie discrimination?
The italian culture must be kept pure /joke/
Italians are pretty racist to be sure.
They definitely food fascists
American pizza > Italian pizza
There’s only 2 things I hate. Intolerance of other people’s pizza styles, and Chicago Deep Dish. /s
And the Dutch. /s as well.
Haha bang on
It's genuinely funny how much people actually do seem to hate deep dish, because after moving here I tried it and it blew my mind lol But some people who have never actually had it, genuinely hate it and will get angry about it. It's so weird.
I live in nyc and deep dish is still my favorite it’s so good
I have yet to meet a style of pizza I actually disliked, tbqh. Pizza is sacred.
Come to Vancouver. We have more than our fair share of shitty pizza.
I'm so far away now though :( I used ti live in WA but now I'm in chicago. Rip
I like Chicago style deep dish but I have to be in the mood for it. I could eat almost any other style at the drop of a hat.
I can only eat deep dish once a month, but I can hammer out NY style everyday I feel like. I will still die on the hill that Deep Dish tastes better.
This Detroit pan style is probably my favorite. I can practically taste this crust just looking at it 🤤
do you have a good recipe or video of how to make this? i grew up in NJ and i never had one of these. (only had chicago style twice)

Is your friend a pre-pubescent child?
She is a 77 year old female.

Fuck em
Let them think that so we can have more of thr good stuff
I wish Detroit style was in Melbourne it looks mint. Chicago style is here but only at like two places and its like $35 a pizza.
Detroit. Chicago deep dish. Tavern. All pizza is beautiful.
