Detroit Pizza has entered the chat:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit-style_pizza

"Detroit-style pizza was originally baked in rectangular steel trays designed for use as automotive drip pans or to hold small industrial parts in factories."

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Detroit Pizza is my favorite pizza style. I love a good New York pizza but the toasty favors and tang of detroit style are my favorite by far. I got the special pan to make it, and Charlie Anderson on YouTube has a fantastic recipe.

Detroit style is the best, fight me.

[–] ramirezmike@programming.dev 34 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Detroit pizza is so fucking good. New York pizza is a greasy flap of falling toppings and Chicagoans will be the first to tell you chicago deep dish is an overrated cheese pool in a piecrust

[–] BigilusDickilus@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Chicago's thin crust/tavern pizza is far better than deep dish. That's what they should be promoting.

I never heard of Detroit style but I think it looks very similar to what I would call a baking tray pizza (Blechpizza) in Germany.

I do get pretty tired of food snobbery. Try it! You might like it! Worst thing that happens is you don't eat it again.

No no, the way I like it is the way everyone should like it!

I live in Ohio and have no idea what Ohio-valley style Pizza is. Is that a thing? Is this a joke? Am I a joke to you? (I mean, it's justifiable. I live in Ohio after all)

[–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (13 children)

The pizza is known for its distinctive cold toppings which are added after the pizza is cooked. It was nicknamed "The Poor Man's Cheesecake" in the 1940s. In 2018, DiCarlo said he did not remember why the pizza was originally prepared that way but speculated that it may have been to avoid burning the toppings. The style became a part of local cuisine in Ohio and West Virginia, and was replicated by several other chains. However, its method of preparation is polarizing, and it has been negatively compared to Lunchables.

🤣😂🤣

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It looks like if an adult was banned from buying Lunchables pizza, but still wanted that same disappointment.

'Colorado' style is basically made in only one chain, Beau Joes, but it's pretty good. Super-sized 'Mountain Crust' eaten with honey.

This person must be from Chicago if they are describing their tomato casserole as a pizza. If Chicago can have their pizza crime, let others do as they please and get off your high horse.

Let's not even get into how overrated New York pizza is.

The only places I’ve heard of that have the balls to speak their names in proximity to NYC and Chicago are Detroit and New Haven, CT.

Detroit Pizza is fucking great, especially with extra sauce and I haven’t had New Haven pizza but have been told it’s too big of a range to say that it’s all good pizza.

St. Louis-style pizza is one of the most disgusting things I've ever eaten.

The style has a thin cracker-like crust made without yeast, generally uses Provel cheese, and is cut into squares or rectangles instead of wedges.

...

Provel is a trademark for a combination of three cheeses (provolone, Swiss, and white cheddar) used instead of (or, rarely, in addition to) the mozzarella or provolone common to other styles of pizza.

...

Some of the sauces have a sweetness to them

Oh dear god it's awful.

[–] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Born and raised in StL. Can confirm. The worst part about the cheese is that it's ... sticky. It never quite congeales after you melt it so you get weird, greasy, molten shit stuck to the roof of your mouth

However, Detroit, Connecticut, Regina, Greek and a few others are excellent.

In Steubenville, Ohio, and other Ohio River towns, local pizzerias dole out square pies covered with piles of cold — uncooked — grated cheese. Known as Ohio Valley-style pizza, these crisp-crust pies come out of the oven with just a coating of tomato sauce and are then covered with fresh cheese and often pepperoni. Each bite is warm, cool and crunchy all at once.

[–] Buffaloaf@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, someone forgot to put cheese on the pizza before putting it in the oven. Then they took it out and was like "oh shit, I'll just put the cheese on now and hope it melts."

And when they got called out for having cold cheese on warm pizza they were like "yeah, that's how we do it in Ohio. Specifically Ohio Valley. Fuck you, stop asking questions."

Wisconsin: I started putting cheese curds on pizza. It's amazing and should become our pizza thing.

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

We also replaced the tomato sauce with cheese.
And the toppings.
And the dough.
Actually, it's a cheese wheel. Enjoy!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love Pizza Hut. Please don't kill me.

I'm kind of an anti-snob, though. I'll try just about any pizza and enjoy it. Some are certainly better than others, but most of them are pretty great.

Yeah, I know. I'm a philistine.

How do people feel about the places that make quick pizzas to order like Mod and Blaze?

It's not even pizza. It's some weird tomato quiche, but definitely not pizza.

Ohio Valley pizza is not what I thought it was. I grew up in Ohio and the only time I ate something that even reminds me of that was actually in Florence, Italy, oddly.

I grew up on Central Ohio tiny-pepperoni'd, square-cut pizzas.

Today, Detroit is probably my fave, followed by what is more-or-less a tie between NY and Chicago Deep Dish depending upon my mood. Ohio pizza still holds a place in my heart, but it's definitely not in the top 3.
