Detroiter here, very confused when "Detroit-style pizza" became a thing, because I can't understand if people mean "deep dish pizza" like Jets, Papa Romano's, and Pizza Hut (maybe just Pizza Hut in Detroit?) or if they literally just mean Buddy's. Because a bunch of the things people ascribe to "Detroit-style pizza" are literally just done by a single chain with about 15 restaurants that people only go to because they serve beer.
I kind of think the latest "Detroit-style pizza" thing is just a result of Buddy's getting some VC money and doing a national advertising campaign.
I'll also add that I've never been to a local non-chain pizzeria anywhere in the Detroit area that did a "Detroit-style pizza." Either one of a dozen pizza-and-wings places or something like Hippie's Pizza is more the norm.
Actually the closest pizza place to me does pretty good ribs. Better than their pizza, anyway.
The push to call it Detroit style is I believe recent but it’s been around as Sicilian style for a bit. Jet’s is a National chain and does it. A bunch of places in Cleveland have it as Sicilian style too
