I hate all these comments that claim "Italians" are some monolith. It is HUGELY regional, and Italians very often disagree on what constitutes the same dish. Mr. Z's "not a pizza" means "not the very strict Neopolitan definition of pizza." This is basically Sicilian sfincione, which was brought over to North America and is very much considered a variety of pizza. Bread base, tomato sauce, cheese.

Last year, while visiting family in Detroit, I was initially hesitant about their renowned square pizza. But, after sampling pizzas across Europe, including Italy, and various US cities like Chicago, NY, and LA, I'm convinced that Detroit's distinct style is the best. The blend of flavours and that crunchy, cheesy crust is unmatched! And for the record, I'm team pineapple on pizza!

[@wellthatsnice8004]

The couple who invented Detroit style pizza were Gus and Anna Guerra who used Anna’s family’s “sfincione” dough recipe. So you are spot on. The big difference between Detroit style and Sicilian style is that Detroit is cooked in pans that are more similar to a cast iron skillet vs a cake pan. It causes the edges to Carmelize while the interior stays airy. This is a pizza inspired by Sicilian cooking with a Detroit twist, hopefully you have a chance to sample our cities love letter to your style.

[@lyneae3786]

This is the first time I have ever seen a pizza crust like this since many years ago, when on a very rare occasion, my Italian grandmother (in NY state) ordered from a restaurant a Sicilian pizza from a very, long-standing restaurant/pizzeria. My grandmother never ate out; she always preferred her own cooking, and rightly so. But this pizza was just as it had been for many decades, and it was really wonderful. She explained that no one still makes the base like this. I makes me happy to see somewhere in Detroit they are still doing it that way. It’s very authentic. The toppings were: a special marinara, lots of fresh, Italian seasoning with an emphasis on the basil, a little of finely grated *authentic* Parmesan, extra virgin olive oil (true olive oil) and anchovies slightly rinsed, dried, chopped and baked on top like one of the seasonings. BTW: It’s also good to see that Detroit, even after the impact of the expanding and steeply contracting economy, still has some of the best American restaurants.

[@bretwilliams249]

I'm honestly amazed to see Detroit style done right all the way over in the UK. Most places in the US don't even get it right. Great looking pie, and so glad you guys loved it!

[@user-zq2hi2qj7n]

My husband is from Michigan, and I now think we'll have to go to Detroit to try some of this when we are in the state the next time. However, we also have Motor City Pizza Co. available in the freezer sections of grocery stores here in the US, and it is the BEST frozen pizza I have ever had!

[@bransonwalter5588]

It is a cheap imitation of the real thing. The steel high wall pans with the cheese melted against the walls are a thing that can't be replicated. The dough also rises and is so much more light and airy.

[@Woozlewuzzleable]

No such thing as bad pizza, I like all styles.

[@TheBaldr]

You have never been to Japan I take it.

[@Woozlewuzzleable]

@@TheBaldr No but I would be too full after eating ramen, sushi, curry, teppanyaki, yakitori and tempura to eat pizza there but I've heard good things.

As someone from the Detroit area, I highly recommend a visit to “the D” and surrounding areas. Coney Dogs, Detroit pizza, micro-brewery’s, and the list goes on. It’s absolutely an underrated city with fantastic food. Reach out for any questions!

[@dmz7550]

As a metro Detroiter, I concur!

[@karingkarin8461]

Jolly definitely needs to come to Detroit for some food tasting, you won't be disappointed, I promise! The best Detroit style pizza is at Buddy's Pizza. I live about 40 mins from Detroit and will drive downtown just for the food, it's that amazing! The soul food restaurants are to die for, and so are the Greek restaurants. Oh, and the burgers! So if/when you visit Detroit be sure to head downtown where all the good food lives. I was really surprised to see so many comments from fellow Michiganders, makes me happy. But Jolly makes me even more happy, keep up the good work boys, always looking forward to your videos! 🤗

[@killercaos123]

I hear TREMENDOUS things about Detroit Pizza and I so need to try it so badly. It looks and sounds so great

[@justinschermer9114]

As a Michigander seeing Josh and Ollie love detroit style makes me so happy they just need to come to Michigan and try the real thing now.

[@christinajohnson4763]

Born and raised in Detroit, it’s a shame more people don’t know about Detroit style pizza! You have to come do an extended episode in Detroit. It’s a melting pot where you will find a plethora of different foods from many different cultures and they’re all so good! Greek, Polish, Mediterranean, Mexican, etc if you want it, you will find it in Detroit! Make sure you try Faygo pop (don’t call it soda!), our microbreweries, and our apple orchards (if in season). It’s a foodie’s paradise 🤤

[@HonklerUnitedInc]

i walk to shell every now and then for some faygo! only pop today you can get for under 2 bux a bottle cold!

[@HonklerUnitedInc]

granted its a 2 mile walk each way... hell weight loss for my fatass

[@natel7151]

Yes, it's kind of its own thing. In the USA, we have the New York style and Chicago style as two of the pillars of pizza... but Detroit style is a hidden gem. It's nothing like New York style, and you might compare the thickness to Chicago style except that the thickness is due to the fluffy bread/crust. It's not dense with stuff like Chicago style. And it's really defined by baking in that pan, with the crispness of the outer crust. There's nothing quite like Detroit pizza. It stands on its own.

[@longhunterman2399]

That wonderful crunch sound when they bit into it. Amazing!

[@rcsims313]

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THE DAY!!! DETROIT STYLE PIZZA ON JOLLY!!! 🎉 ppl rave about Chicago and NY style pizza, but the crispy edges on Detroit style pizza is where it’s at

[@Mike_and_Life]

I've lived in New York, Chicago and California. Being from Detroit, I always felt I was biased. After my travels, I was right all along. Detroit style is truly the best.

[@cecilycook5592]

American pizza and Italian pizza are forever different. Both beautifully amazing. But Italians got to get over their aggressive frustration over American pizza and how much it truly is loved. Because it is still their families/ancestors that moved here to even make it possible. So different but both equally so beautiful.

[@philomenaballerina]

LOVE this episode! I’m an American, and I had no idea Detroit pizza was a thing! Amazing! - Looked it up, and there is a Detroit pizza place in Florida! 🎉 I’m gonna have to try it! Thanks, Jolly!

Detroit style pizza is so underrated...and I'm a NYer saying this

[@stephjezo6470]

Don't take away from NY pizza either...... The US has taken pizza and put some great new twists on it so in all reality, it just depends on your mood and tastes which one fits the bill!

[@liamengram6326]

As a fellow NYer I can confirm that the only other style of pizza I will spring for other than NY or a classic Neopolitan is Detroit Style.

As a Detroit native with Sicilian roots, Buddy's Pizza is the most popular in Michigan. MY FAVORITE spot in SEOUL is MOTOR CITY PIZZA, they have a few locations now. I love the JACKSON 5, it is absolutely delicious. Detroit would love to have you visit. You should try Motor City next time you are over to Korea. ...OH and get the fried mushrooms, its a classic!

Im a Michigan native living over seas and I frequently visit the UK especially London. I happened upon this place on accident and funny enough a couple months before had gone to Buddys original Detroit Pizza visiting family. So I had to drag one of my friends in London here to see how legit it is. The fact they imported the blue steel pans already was a win. They didnt have the wisconsin brick cheese but was still top notch and only the sauce is a little spicier than the original. Though its definitely Detroit style. The dough was perfect, the crispy bottoms caramalized cheese edges. My friend in London definitely said was the best hes ever had. Im glad the bus I was on was diverted and that I didnt use the tube that day I passed by this place. Now every time I go to London I can get a piece of home. Thats why London is one if my favourite cities to visit. Its always full of surprises and diverse food options. So I cant reccomended this place enough. Londoners, brits and visitors that enjoy Pizza get there. Theres no other pizza like it and best Deep dish style in the world. So grateful this guy brought it to this side of Atlantic.

[@clubmate12]

As a southern Italian, the Detroit Pizza in Commercial Street is one of my favorite pizza places in London.

[@farah_lynn]

I'm from Michigan, currently attending the University of Michigan, and I must say we have some incredible food especially in the metro Detroit area! Neapolitan wood fired and Detroit style are the best for sure. You guys need to come for a visit!

[@Hattrickplus]

Come to Detroit. The pizza is on another level and so is the shawarma, coney's and soul food. So much to try.

[@user-kp6rx5zw2x]

This fills my heart with joy! A DSP joint in London? Awesome! I grew up on the original, Buddy’s Pizza, and one of its offshoots that is better, Louis. During Americas alcohol prohibition, Buddy’s Rendezvous was a speakeasy, an illegal bar. Gus Guerrera would serve his version of the Sicilian pie, or granny slice. After prohibition, Buddy’s kept the bar, and the pizza became a Detroit staple. Much love from the Motor City, and me, just a kid from Detroit.

[@user-er6xo9yz2b]

Thanks to you two guys, I’m making plans on visiting your country just to try its food. I enjoy your channel very much.

As a Chicagoan I can agree that Detroit style needs more love. It’s my favorite. 1) best deep dish in Chicago has some influence in pequods does the burn cheese crust. 2) favorite pizza I had in New York was a Sicilian slice at prince street which Detroit style is a form of Sicilian.
