If so, what’s your favorite place to get it from?
If not, would you want to try it?

Jet’s Pizza and Rocky Rococo are 2 chains that serve Detroit style if you’re looking to try it.
Ayyyy, fellow Jets enjoyer!
Second (or i guess, like, 4th?) jets. I almost always try to order a pizza from there when i’m in town.
I didn’t even realize Jets was more than a Wisconsin thing
Its based out of Detroit. As is Dominos, Little Caesars, and Hungry Howies. Detroit is the pizza capital of the US.
Yes! I loved Rocky Rococo’s! Jets can almost scratch that itch, but I wish there were still Rocky Rococo’s near me.
Jets pizza opened up recently near me in Texas.
It was pretty good for my first try of Detroit style.
As a Texan with a wife from Detroit, other than individual little pizzerias, Jets is gonna be the best Detroit style you’ll probably find.
Gotta give it up for Buddy’s in Detroit though.
Detroit really is a great place to get food though.
My BIL, trying to get enough airline miles for something, once flew into Detroit just to eat, then flew back. He is enamored by aviation though, the type of person to go to the airport to watch planes take off and land. Then again, he gets into the centurion club free, so he can wait until the last minute to get to his gate, and get free food and alcohol so maybe he just misses most of the hassles of flying.
Until Jon Stewart’s rant about Chicago Style deep dish, I had always thought I had Chicago style. But it’s actually Detroit style that I’ve had.
Personally, I prefer New York style, tho.
I’m not sure what style the pizza I like is called, it’s just pizza. But I know I detest Chicago deep dish, and new york style. One is more of a casserole than a pizza, and the other is like paper with toppings on it.
But it’s delicious paper. 🥹
You probably like what I’ve heard called Napoli style. That’s a normal crust that’s not super thin but also not super thick. It is supposedly the traditional style. But this is from American places so IDFK 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds right, but I know about as much as you (maybe less)
A good quality Detroit-style, like from Buddy’s or from Frank’s in Wyandotte a little Southwest of Detroit, those are my favorite pizzas. If I’m getting something cheaper like Jet’s though I actually prefer the round.
Frank’s is my favorite lol
Borderline whether it should count as pizza but the prosciutto pie is crazy good.
8 mile and Wyoming checking in.
I totally forgot about Detroit-style. It’s good too!
As a Michigander it’s funny to me that 4 major nationwide pizza chains are from Michigan (jets, hungry howies, little Caesars, and dominos), I don’t really think of Michigan pizza as particularly noteworthy.
Long time sf bay resident I think best east bay Detroit style is fat apples in Berkeley or El cerrito. (And since it keeps coming up in the comments, best east bay deep dish/chicago style is little star over Zachary’s, I live between the two off solano and stand firm in this decision)
Shout-out from Rochester, NY! There’s a restaurant called Pizza Wizard here with some seriously delicious Detroit deep dish
I had a quick look online and it looks like the exact sort of pizza I try to avoid.
I wish I could remember the place my Chicagoan friend took me to but it was great. In my area on the east coast we have a chain called Pizzeria Uno which has a reasonable facsimile of Chicago deep dish. But nothing beats Chi-town’s sourdough deep dish pizza!
I love both Chicago style and Detroit style and they are not the same thing. Detroit style has a lot of breadiness to the crust where Chicago is like a denser crust. And detroit is typically rectangular with toppings all the way to the edge. There isn’t really a proper crust to grab.
Chicago deep dish is just cheese in a bread bowl. Detroit style is so much better.
Omg yes and it’s my favorite. Absolutely hands down, the best.
There is a place in Vancouver called AJ’s brooklyn pizza joint that does a Detroit style pizza, I’ll usually grab one every couple of months.
I’ve had Buddy’s pizza when visiting the Detroit area and I thought it was really good.
I have a Jet’s near me and it’s one my favorites to get takeout from.
Love it. Here in Los Angeles we have Detroit pizza depot. A sausage one with a faygo red pop is amazing.
A place in Austin texas called Via 313. It is fantastic pizza!
I’ll have to give it a try
I love Via 313, but it’s gone downhill in recent years, unfortunately. The wait times are ridiculously long, the prices have skyrocketed, and the quality has lowered. Honestly, I could deal with the lower quality if either the price or the wait time went down. It’s bad enough paying $15 for a small pan pizza, but it’s even worse when it takes 90 minutes to get to you, after you’ve already been in line for 20 minutes.
Though, that’s true for pretty much all the pizza places around here. They’ve all just gotten progressively worse, and it’s really sad. :(
I’ve had Detroit style pizza, but I can’t say I liked it very much compared to other pizza styles so I don’t have good recommendations.
My favorite is neapolitan pizza so I’d recommend trying one if you come across a place that does them and haven’t tried it yet.
I make them at home because most pizza in Sacramento sucks.
