Is Detroit-Style Pizza OVERRATED? | Pan Pizza Recipe (CTS Michigan)

As a Chicago man with a steadfast love for crispy, thin-crust pizza I have ZERO issue saying that Detroit-style Pizza is elite. You can’t deny greatness and Detroit’s native pizza style is just that - LEGENDARY. The history behind the pizza style is so unique and the crust is crispier than the freshest 100 dollar bill. Matter of fact, this pizza is so good that I decided to drive all the way to Detroit just to try some (and to acquire first-hand experience for this recipe). I hope you dig this vid as much as I enjoyed making it. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below and, as always, the full recipe can be found on my website. You got this. 🤘🏼 Adam

So, this series is supposed to be "an attempt to discover the true identiy of American food," let's see what we've learned so far. 1 ) There's a lot of food out there. 2) It all looks delicious and tastes delicious. 3) You've had an excuse to cook a bunch of food from all over the country. And...I don't have a problem with this. 😁

[@AdamWitt]

Lol, pretty much.

[@jamessexton6]

😬 yikes!

[@ombra711]

@@jamessexton6 whats your problem dude?

[@allnewtechnology]

The identity of american food?? Pizza!!

[@christinegelabert1651]

​@@ombra711the problem is that the second video involving this place the mic is held so close to his face that it's not realistic about how the food is.... I'VE EATEN THERE~TWICE WHEN I ROLLED THROUGH WITH FRIENDS! SOOOO... WHILE I DON'T dispute the fact that its award-winning because obviously it is! HE IS deceiving his audience by putting his Mike less than an inch away from the pizza. HE'S making them think that the pizza has crossed that sounds so loud because it's so crispy that's the FALSE INSINUATION! GET IT! IT'S FALSE ADVERTISING FOR THIS PLACE IT HONESTLY THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PISSED ABOUT IT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T EXPECT THAT AND BE SORELY DISAPPOINTED! IF people want that noise they should leave out that pizza for 4 days when THEY'RE sleeping off being drunk! THEN the pizza will be still enough to make that noise ok? IT'S DISINGENUOUS AND DECEITFUL TO MAKE IT SEEM THAT THIS BUSINESS IS CRUST AS CRUNCHY AS HE'S PORTRAYING IT WITH AMPED-UP VOLUME. THAT'S something that other reactors do as well, but he seems to do it a lot more. I SAY THIS AS someone who watches a lot of reactors and also watches a lot of chefs o. YT. I SAY THIS AS someone who has over 40 years experience... Cooking AND baking~and that means totally from scratch sweetpea! So yeah, it's really totally not cool to be jacking up your volume like that. NOW... THAT being said, the next time I roll through that town I will give it a third chance for it do me right. Because it stated before the pizza is good but not as loud as he's portraying it making this crushing noise. A noise as if when you bite into it? There's a really good chance that you're going to break off your incisors ok? Trust me KID~I'VE get up and down the Eastern Seaboard... And also too many other states and had plenty of pizza in the last 41 years I've been on a bike! So let's get really really about this honey. Bwaaah Haaa!!! #NYGenBIKERLady

[@Dcvmnaturalist]

I’ve made this recipe 5x now, everyone’s still asking for it. My frico’s on point and this pizza rocks.

[@AdamWitt]

Dude! Let's go! I'm hyped that it's working so well for you. Good stuff.

[@terrypredmore4867]

Pro Tips: Skip the vinegar, liquid is the enemy of pizza sauce. Skip the par bake, Bake on bottom rack at 500-15 min. Add more olive oil to your pan-3-4 tablespoons at least. You want to in a sense french fry the crust. This type of pizza can also be done in a 12"-14" cast iron skillet. If the bottom crust is not to your likening in a cast iron skillet, finish it on a stove top burner, keep an eye on it though as you're almost home!

[@dpm3740]

Just so everyone knows, there are a few Detroit pizza parlors that make a better "Detroit Style" pizza than Buddy's, and the quality varies depending on which Buddy's restaurant you go to. It IS better at the 6 Mile & Conant original location. The Broadway location downtown, frankly IS sub-par. I don't know why. Loui's in Hazel Park is perhaps the gold standard. Started by one of Buddys ex-chefs in the mid-70's. Many of us think its superior to Buddy's. It is fun watching the world find Detroit Style - thanks for the great recipe! Fun fact it is based on an Italian recipe, "Sfincione di Bagheria" fro Bagheria, Sicily.

[@gdr4115]

My fav location is the 6 mile & Conant location. Started in the late 60's and shared my pizza addiction between Buddy's and Shields Pizza that was within walking distance. Next time in Detroit, I will check out Loui's in Hazel Park. I live in Atlanta Metro and Jet's has a few spots here, but it does not live up to the Detroit standard. So I'll give this recipe a shot this weekend.

[@michaetsully87]

Louis is amazing and don't forget the salad when you're there.

[@SchwarbageTruck]

Yeah as a Detroiter honestly my experience is that the best Detroit-style pizza comes from sit-down places like sports bars (and the older-looking, the better - if it looks like it's from the 60's or 70's, you've hit the jackpot). Buddy's is SUPER hit or miss because it's corporate and I've always felt that the downtown location cuts lots of corners for quicker pickup times for the mad rush of people they get being next to THREE different sports stadiums.

[@Gu1tarZer0]

The one just off 75 in Auburn Hills is great if you're ever up this way. Loui's still annihilates all the others though for me.

[@Fanculo52]

I’ve been saying this for ever. Louis is the original Detroit style pizza

[@antonyjiovanazzo5411]

Great recipe! I’ve tried it twice now. The second time I skipped the par bake, increased oven to 550. Total cook time 12 min and it was heavenly.

[@AdamWitt]

Heck yeah. Stoked that it worked out. D style is elite.

[@rileyhenry7728]

If you have a hot enough oven it will work just fine.

[@BeckamR23]

Yeah I skipped the orebaje for sure but this recipe made two 8x10’s but way too thick after cooking. I think it works make 3 8x10’s

I love how your vibe is all chaotic and improvisatory, but then you pipe your ricotta, which you enrich with xanthan gum. And I'm not mocking you. I *genuinely* love that dichotomy.

Great production value bro. Subbed.

[@AdamWitt]

Welcome to the par-tay.

[@Dcvmnaturalist]

I made this and it was excellent! Pretty much followed the website and referenced back here a couple times. Your sauce was crazy good. I couldn’t believe it. Cento San Marz is the brand I used. I used an ordinary baking pan which worked great. I had to use ordinary whole fat soft mozzarella instead of the low moisture. It was an ok substitute but low moisture is preferred. My pepperonis were a little greasy which I think interfered with my frico a bit, but that’s what I had on hand. Piping on those little dabs of ricotta was brilliant. 100% will make again. Great recipe, great video, thanks so much and good luck with your channel!

[@AdamWitt]

Thank you dude! Glad you like the recipe.

[@justingiehl921]

this has been my go-to style of pizza while using my sourdough focaccia recipe as the base (just dont do the harsh dimples). the par baking tip was a huge help and took it to the next level!

[@jenovapooh]

So happy you did this base recipe as well, after the amalgamation episode. I personally prefer a cooked, robust sauce but like both. My parents bring me brick cheese when they visit lololol Now pasties for Da Yoop! I've got recommendations on where you can go up there if you want an in person experience as well.

[@AdamWitt]

That’s the best looking pizza I’ve ever seen. I love Detroit pizza and ricotta WAY underutilized on pizza.

[@johnnybeee]

Whoah, that crunch. Never did the par bake b4. Def gonna try this method soon.

[@melissadunton3534]

I’ve made Chicago style deep dish at home many times, but never Detroit style. We used to order it from a place called Pan Pizzeria when we lived in VA and it was a family favorite. Now that I’m living in PA there aren’t any Detroit style places around where I live, so I’m going to have to make my own. I’m def inviting my son over for dinner when I make it, as he hasn’t had the pizza from Pan’s since he was about 20 years old - 10 years ago. And since he’s currently living in the same area as me I know he hasn’t had anything even remotely close to Pan’s or any Detroit style in at least the last 3 years. Thanks for sharing!! ✌🏻🥰😊

[@bragemogstad7124]

Yes baby! Thats what we like! Add 50% 00 flour for a lighter dough, bake the sauce on the pizza in 2 round for a more concentrated taste. Frie some chopped habanero in oliveoil before adding the garlic to make the sauce scream. A top drizzle of olive oil and seasalt before 2 baking will make it yahoo.

[@Dcvmnaturalist]

Saved! I’ll definitely do this.

[@werecow68]

Bummer that the Buddy's you went to wasn't on their best. The Livonia and Dearborn I have experience with and both have always been made right. I'm sure the original at 6Mile and Conant keeps things in check. Obviously too late now but in the future if you do go back, there's a suggestion. Great video and thanks for using the San Marzano tomatoes. See people using greenhouse and it makes me die a little inside. :)

[@donaldexley1852]

I ordered my Loyd pans and have everything but the deli cheese block and pepperoni, so shopping time. Will be trying it in my Vevor counter top pizza oven so very excited to try this!

[@SchwarbageTruck]

Fun Fact: if they're putting warm pizza sauce on after cooking, they're actually copying Shawn Randazzo of Detroit Style Pizza Company (St Clair Shores, MI) who did a lot of consulting after kicking ass at the International Pizza Challenge and actually being the one who got Detroit style (or "Square Deep Dish" as we call it) nation-wide attention. Brick cheese is also overblown and not used nearly as much as people think. Even Buddy's mixes it with mozzarella and Jet's, the chain square pie place, just uses mozzarella with domestic parmesan/pecorino/"pizza cheeses". If you can't get brick, Monterey Jack actually works great, it just yellows more. I love mixing in pepper jack with my cheese blend when I get to be creative with my square pizzas. Also leave it to a Chicagoan to put unnecessary toppings on a pizza. You people put a whole salad on a hot dog.

[@kavonm7681]

Thank you for making a video on this and the entire process! Would 500 degrees at 12 minutes also work the same for the two 8 x 10 pizzas?

[@AdamWitt]

My pleasure. It was super fun. Yes, it's the same cook time. But remember, every oven is different so 12 minutes on the low side, 15 tops. For the first bake, you're looking for a risen, golden crust. Then rest. For the second bake it's all about the color and frico. My oven is 12 minutes for both parts, in a pre-heated oven with a steel.

[@chayneschaetzle9307]

Hey this was really well done. Subbed!

Right on! Welcome.

[@AdamWitt]

[@PhilFry-gj6xq]

Yes sir great vid. Sorry I'm late to the party. I've been using a good 15" cast iron skillet for this method and never had trouble. I noticed my daughter and son-in-law come home for dinner if they know this is in process. We prefer Detroit style over NY style.

[@moonymakes]

Love that restaurant!!! Chicagoans know our way around a pizza

[@mspurfickt]

I never even thought about the moisture/texture of toppings on top vs bottom...definitely prefer my toppings on top..

[@GeorgeLanivich]

Most Buddy’s pies have evolved to flatter dough, little rise. The Chicago/VanDyke location seems to have better QC where it’s more like the days of old with the memories of better pie. Not all locations are created equal. I think maybe High turn over rates are the reason why. I’m guessing the aforementioned location most likely has long term staff. Can’t wait to try this recipe.

[@SchwarbageTruck]

I know part of the problem is that many of the takeout-only locations probably don't make dough on-site anymore and that opens up a TON of CQ problems.

[@asrr62]

I love seeing different preperations but i put sauce, chese and Canadian bacon on at the same time then place it in over and cook at once.

[@valeriekeefe8898]

That is an interesting choice with the tomatoes... not sure if want, but am sure want detroit-style za, and love the tip on par-cooking to create room for the cheese to get down in there.

[@yassel22]

[@sanwiles777]

I loooove Detroit style🍕, that was a LOT of work (& waiting!) Can we just have some of yours?!😅🤤😁

[@burnertrump875]

looks good! That's quite a long cook time, although your pizza is very thick, maybe its because the 10x14 is not twice as large as 2 8x10s. Whenever I try detroit pizza outside of detroit it's always thicker than anything you get in the city.

[@makomanpizza]

hi, congratulations, if I want to put the dough in the fridge for 1 or 2 days, is the weight of the yeast always the same or does it change?

[@a1960g]

[@AdamWitt]

[@rachelchew4702]

Can I ask why you grated the cheese on the big baking tray?? Does it help cut time or washing up down maybe? :)

[@AdamWitt]

Exactly, it's just cleaner.

[@NatalieV0331]

as a detroiter, its weird to hear the chicago person say ours is "elite" lmao, i love our style too, but half my family lives in chicago, and when we go there its another level, tavern style thin crust with italian sausage is the elite pizza, love going to salernos (some people say its gone downhill but it still beats any pizza in michigan imo) i remember once time salernos closed and my old italian grandma called in and told them we were coming, they started the ovens back up and made us some, good people run the place and they make pizza leagues better than anything ive had in michigan

[@redcroft308]

Let that bread proof longer, i.e., dont try and form it in the pan right out the fridge, just toss it in the pan and let it hand out at room temp for a couple hours, then go in and lightly form it. Dont overwork it, you'll knock all the air out and thats why you get that "bready" crust you ended up with. You want a loose collection of bread-lined air pockets for that superior lift and crisp. Skip the par bake, use the cheapest (but still unadulterated) pomace oil you can find, and you dont need to drown the pan in it. Its a layer of oil, not a bath.

[@nothanksplease]

No its just better than all of the other types. Try Jets too.

Nice video. I own a restaurant and I want to add pizza to the menu. I am just not sure if I should go with a NY style or a Detroit. I live in northern Saskatchewan and both styles are uncommon. We do have a few NY style pizza places but they are nothing like a NY style. I am fascinated by the detroit style pizza but other than from little ceasers I have never had a proper detroit style pizza. Would you say the detroit style hands down beats the NY style? I know they are different. But if you had to choose one. And only one. Which one would it be. And why?

one , that isn't the original buddys location , and two I've never seen what you made served as detroit pizza in detroit but I would for sure order it.

[@AdamWitt]

Par bake flip, no. Ghee yes - it's nice and imparts a v buttery flavor. You can totally cook the sauce on top if you'd like - some places do, others don't. Classically the sauce is spooned on after the fact.

[@all-gone]

Is it a version of Sicilian pizza? Maybe cousins?

[@bjdreviews]

It is an adaptation of a Sicilian pizza from back in the day by folks that immigrated to Detroit, but a lot of the specifics that come from Michigan make it unique. It traditionally has brick cheese, as it 100% always should! It has the pan that was used in the auto factories for bits and it happens to be a fabulous thing to cook a pizza in because it just crisps up so right. Usually having cheese baked on the crust and sauce cooked on top is also a part of it.
