What is Detroit-Style Pizza

 

PI-SQ-6476

THE POWER OF ∏ …

 

  • Square shape
  • Steel pans used
  • The steel pan provides superior heat conductivity and caramelization on the crust (the mark of the great Detroit-style pizza).
  • Thick crust – light and airy inside, crispy outside.
  • Cheese is spread to the edges of the pan.
  • As the pizza bakes the cheese slowly melts down the sides and forms a delicious, caramelized rim of crust.
  • After the cheese, any additional toppings can be placed on top
  • Last is the sauce – placed on top. This is why it’s earned the nicknames “red top pizza” and “upside down pizza.” Placing the sauce on top allows for a fluffier crust.

Smart Ingredients

QUALITY – Our pizzas are made with only the finest ingredients with a focus on higher quality, healthier options – making us a smarter choice.

FRESH – Our dough is handmade fresh daily – flour, yeast, sugar, olive oil (much healthier vs. corn oil) and water. That’s it! Our sauce is a “secret” combination of fresh packed vine ripened tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and spices. We use authentic San Marzano tomatoes, considered by many chefs to be the best of its kind in the world, and infuse our recipes with the finest Italian olive oil.

NATURAL – We use only the finest Grande Mozzarella and Italian cheeses that are all-natural, delicious and further enhance our perfect pi.

ORGANIC – We source organic ingredients, from local growers whenever possible.

What’s the Story Behind the Name?

Pi-Squared Pizza

 

Simply put … “Pi” is our shorthand for a pizza.  And “Squared” … well, we sell square pizzas … the kind that Detroit is famous for.

But our smarter approach to making healthier pizzas and sourcing only the finest ingredients led us to a more intelligent answer to the question.

“Pi” also refers to one of mathematics most intriguing numbers 3.14159265359.

In fact, “Pi” is so special that there’s a day it’s celebrated around the world – March 14th (3-14 get it?)

Oh, and Pi Day (March 14th) is also the Birthday of one of science’s most intriguing geniuses …

We love that there’s a play on the words Pi-Squared … about as much as we love Pizza … and Detroit – the birth-place of the square pizza.

Heck, our Pi wouldn’t be square if it weren’t for Detroit! Stick with us and you’ll know why Detroit and Detroit-style pizza are so great … and you might even learn a thing or two. ;-D
