The Great Detroit-Style Pizza Showdown: May the Best Slice Win!
Ah, Detroit-style pizza. A rectangular masterpiece with a deep-dish crust that puts Chicago to shame (sorry, Windy City, it's true). But with so many contenders in Motor City, the question burns brighter than a coal-fired oven: who reigns supreme?
We recently witnessed a heated battle royale, a pizza Colosseum where titans of cheese and pepperoni clashed. ClickOnDetroit's epic bracket saw over 33,000 votes cast, with favorites like Buddy's and Cloverleaf slugging it out for glory.
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
And the winner, in a stunning upset (or perhaps a return to the roots?), is... Buddy's Pizza! Yes, the originator of the Detroit-style itself, the OG of the octagonal cut, emerged victorious.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
But hold on to your trucker hats, Detroit! This doesn't mean other contenders aren't worthy of a slice (or two, or three). Let's celebrate the spirit of competition and shower all the cheesy goodness with some love.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
