Detroit Magic: Cheese for the Dough, Cheese Crown, and Post-Bake Sauce
Cheese on the dough: A true, classic Detroit pizza has a strict rule: first the dough, then the cheese, and finally the tomato sauce after baking.
The iconic Frico (Cheese Crown): Cheese piled high on the baking sheet caramelizes on the sides, creating a crispy, dark golden rim (frico). It's not Detroit pizza without the frico!
Finishing Sauce: We usually pour thick tomato sauce over pizza right after baking. This prevents the dough from getting soggy and keeps it fluffy, while the sauce retains its fresh flavor.
Where did this come from and why?
In 1946, in Detroit, Gus Guerra, owner of Buddy's, combined the recipe for fluffy Sicilian dough with the local automotive industry. He baked his first pizza in a rectangular blue steel pan that served as a tool tray for workers in car factories.
The heavy metal fried the cheese perfectly to a crispy crust. Gus spread the cheese on the dough and along the sides of the baking sheet. Then, after baking, she added warm tomato sauce over the cheese. This prevented the thick dough from absorbing the moisture from the sauce and turning into a soggy mess. Thus, the legendary, traditional Detroit Style Pizza was born, which you can enjoy at our locations!
ABOUT US
As always, IT STARTED WITH PASSION
From the heart of Motor City to Poznań 🇺🇸
Detroit Slice Pizza ® wasn't born from random recipes – it was born from pure obsession, passion and a journey to the absolute source!
To serve you the perfect pizza, we had to discover the secrets of the legendary frico, where the heart of the style beats. We packed our bags, flew to the US, and embarked on a massive tour of Detroit's iconic spots. We visited most of the local iconic pizzerias, chatted with their owners, devoured huge quantities of traditional Detroit-style pizza, and soaked up the Motor City atmosphere.
The highlight of our time in Detroit? We were treated to the wing of Kristen Calverley and Nate Peck, owners of Michigan & Trumbull—the absolute masters behind one of the highest-rated and most popular pizzerias in all of Michigan!
It was with them that we received our personalized training. Kristen and Nate opened the doors of their kitchen to us and shared the artisanal, closely guarded secrets of Detroit's signature pizza.
Today, we proudly ignite this culinary fire and this original American school of craftsmanship at Detroit Slice Pizza®. We don't compromise, we don't take shortcuts. We bake exactly as taught by Detroit's best. Come and experience the iconic, authentic crunch of Detroit pizza!
