Detroit Style of Pizza

[Chris_in_SoCal]

I made some poolish on Friday and enough dough for a few pizza's on Saturday. I let it ferment another night in the fridge.

I bought a 9 x 9 steel pan that would fit in my Ooni pizza oven but we are being hit with Santa Ana winds today so I brought the stone from my Ooni into the oven.

Fixin' it up the way I want it. Pepperoni, 75% mozerella 25% white cheddar, Yo Momma's spicy marinara, more pepperoni, fresh basil and Herbs D excellence.

After 16 minutes at 500* I pulled the pizza out of the pan and put it directly on the stone for 5 more.

Yay! nice fluffy bread crust.

Looks great!! Back in my business traveling days I'd stay in Warren Mi at times near the GM design center. There was a place there that had amazing pizza like this. You nailed it.

Had my first pizza when I was a little kid somewhere in Detroit, bought my first when I was 16 at Big Ed's in Oak Ridge Tn, rode my motor cycle parked on the side walk, young gal took my order for a small pie and a beer, Big Ed came over and asked what I wanted to drink, told him coke would be fine he said thats what I thought lol. love all of it but diabetic these days and try to stay with thin crust to cut carbs. It's tricky making them at home have burned a few trying without a stone, not sure that would help me or not.

Probably Jet's Pizza.

Familiar with Jets but this is called Little Italy in Warren. It's close to if not the best pizza I've had. So good I remember taking the time to call the manager and offer positive comments.

That's one fine looking pizza right there Chris. Very nice!! We prefer thin crust ut I gotta admit, that homemade dough for your thick cruct looks downright tantalizing.

I'm usually more into thin a well but the Detroit style is insanely good. Edges are nice and crunchy

I usually eat thin crust myself but once in a while a thick one is great. I grew up with Numero Uno in California which is a Chicago thick crust.

The winds are a little crazy here so I woke up at 7am and had another brick of pizza and a Japanese egg sandwich my wife made.

Im a thin crust guy...But i'd set that aside to tear into a corner of that! Looks mighty good.
