Detroit-style pizza is square, deep-dish and baked in blue-steel rectangular pans first used at Buddy's Rendezvous in 1946. Crispy cheese-edge crust, sauce on top.
Gus Guerra pressed the first Detroit-style pizza into a forge-blue steel pan at Buddy's Rendezvous on Six Mile and Conant in 1946. The pans were borrowed from local auto-parts factories where they held machine parts during shifts. Guerra later moved his recipe to Cloverleaf in Eastpointe in 1953; Loui's Pizza in Hazel Park (1977) and Niki's in Greektown (1980) followed. By 2020 the style was on national chain menus, but Detroit pans the original square: thick layer of Wisconsin brick cheese pushed to the edges to crisp on the pan walls, with stripes of tomato sauce on top after baking.
