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.

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!

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.

[@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.

But this year I ate at a Sicilian restaurant in Italy and they had bread topped with tomato sauce that is VERY similar to the crust on a Detroit style pie. So cool!

[@MindyM2144]

I woke up to the joy that JOLLY has a new video! Now, I want to see these two do a food tour through all 50 states.

[@tracyvis5668]

If I could I would “like” this comment a million times. 😊

[@The_SeoulJourner]

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!

[@tristansaurusrex4604]

Yes!! Buddy's is the BEST!

[@funfulf]

Moto city is soooooo gooodd

[@Alex-zi1nb]

Dang from Detroit to Seoul…living the dream

[@5thdimension625]

I want to travel to Seoul just to do a food binge. Yum! I’m jelly you probably already have experienced it

[@jessikasterling6506]

Detroiter here....so glad you finally got to try the best pizza in the world! Now you have to come to Michigan and do a real food tour. Firstly, do Downtown Detroit's Coney Dogs at Lafayette Coney Island and Slow's Bar BQ...then go north to Frankenmuth for the Chicken and see the world's largest christmas store...you can even be really adventurous by continuing north and try the Ludefisk (we have alot of swedes and finns here) Continue further north to Mackinac Island for the world's best Fudge...maybe stop in Traverse City for the annual cherry festival for the cherry pie...then finish in the Upper Peninsula to hangout with the "Yoopers" and try a real Finnish Pasty and some Lake Superior White Fish...I guarantee you will love the experience....especially if you're here in the fall (October) with the trees changing colors....which also means you HAVE to go to a Michigan Apple Cider Mill for fresh pressed Apple Cider, Doughnuts, and all the other things like Apple Pie, carameled & candied apples, etc.....and finally, try the micro-brews and Vernor's Ginger Ale!!!

[@annamariavalatka636]

It's all delicious!

[@HotVoodooWitch]

You're not really sending them to Frankenmuth, are you?? That chicken sucked when I was a kid and a friend was there last month and said it STILL sucks. We're talking 60 years of sucking. And Vernors isn't made in Detroit anymore; some of it is made in Holland, MI. It's not as good as it used to be.

[@rodrigok1220]

Clicked on it to see the reaction. As someone who grew up in the Detroit area and now lives in the south, this is one of the things I miss🙂 Go to Loui’s in hazel park, it is amazing.

[@lalida6432]

My mom likes to reheat the left over slices on the stovetop in a pan on low for about 10-15 minutes. It re-crisps the bottom of the slice.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

I just stick leftovers in a toaster oven for a few minutes. It reheats really well.

[@devil8975]

​@HotVoodooWitch when rushed you can nuke leftovers just enough to melt the cheese and while it's nuking heat butter in a cast iron skillet. Gotta be butter. The skillet crisps the crust and cheese that falls on the pan.

[@kencoffman7145]

Being from Detroit, this brings so much joy to my heart! We've got tons of great food here in Michigan. Please visit us sometime.

[@wabdih]

[@kencoffman7145]

@@wabdih while here also look into the Polish and Middle Eastern foods. Michigan has a very diverse history

[@HotVoodooWitch]

It's a pretty lousy town for vegetarians. I can get some Middle Eastern stuff but the Mexican places here all use lard (authentic but NYC places use Mazzola) and the pickings can be pretty slim at Italian places. I get better pierogi, unfortunately, at Zabar's in NYC.

[@Ben-bf4gn]

@@wabdih One other suggestion, If you're in the Detroit area from March to late November, check out Eastern Market, its an open air market in Detroit that has some AMAZING produce/dry goods/etc, along with some equally amazing surrounding businesses.

[@zzXertz]

Living in NJ I was unfamiliar with Detroit style because we have many of our own styles like tomato pies, but after trying it, it's easily my favorite kind of pizza

[@joehook145]

Where can you get a good Detroit style pizza in NJ? I’m in Mercer county…

[@HotVoodooWitch]

I'm looking to try the tomato pie that has a layer of mustard (the name of the pizzeria escapes me). Unfortunately, they don't ship.

[@hamburglar83]

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.

[@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!

[@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.

You're describing sfincione. It usually has Romano, though.

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 🤤

[@billybobjoe9639]

Have been a fan since 2018 since netting my now wife who is Korean. Learning the Korean culture from your videos was so helpful. Now seeing you have pizza from my hometown has made this full circle! You need to try it in Detroit though!!

Detroit style is the hidden gem of the 3 American styles. It's like a secret club we enjoy that if you know, you know.

[@ScottToma]

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.

[@eliaswreford4523]

So so happy that yall are trying food I grew up with…if you ever come to Detroit gotta try the Detroit style pizza from Buddy’s Pizza with their fried vegetables! Olgas, Chicken Shack, any version of Coney Island you see (probably a National’s Coney Island), etc…I actually saw this place when I was visiting London for the first time earlier this year but never got the chance to see if it was comparable to the Detroit pizza back home, glad it did not disappoint 😊

[@iREV0]

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!

As a metro Detroiter, I concur!

[@beckysnyder4591]

I was born in Detroit in late 1948. Left in 1963 for Ohio. I had never heard of this style pizza back then, but I did not realize we were poor at the time. Mom & Dad owned our home. We never had pizza or ate out. In Ohio they make that pizza only once in a while. I'll have to try it next time. I'm 75 now.

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! 🤗

[@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.

THANK YOU. I don't know where TF the Parm came from but I've never seen it here (also in Michigan). I just got into it with someone else here who swears people put Parm on pizza (true, in NYC), including Detroit-style (not true). That looks like tasty pizza but it doesn't look authentically Detroit to me and I'll bet you anything there's no Wisconsin brick cheese on it, either.
