@LowJack187 You do know Pizza Hut's World Headquarters is here in Michigan, along with Domino's, Jet's, Buddie's, and Mr. Pizza
As a Michigander I am so glad you are recognizing our cuisine! Just some tips, I always make my sauce the day before, I don't know if it really helps the flavors meld, but that was how I was taught. I have also found that lasagna pans work really, I have one from my grandmother that is only used to make pizza. Also, and this is really important, if you are putting any vegetables in, pre cook them. There is nothing worse than cutting into waterlogged pizza. Thanks again, from the true Pizza capital of the world!

Isn't this sicilian style pizza? What's the difference?
I know I'm late to this video, but as someone who is Detroit born and bred, raised on Loui's and Buddy's, and worked for Shawn Randazzo who won the 2012 International Pizza Expo "Best Pan Pizza" competition with a Detroit-style pizza recipe, I wanted to make a few suggestions to improve it.
1) Let your dough proof longer. 2 hours was really the minimum for Detroit Style Pizza Company, and that's what I would recommend.
2) Less oil! When I make this pizza at home, I use melted butter to just barely coat my pan bottom and the bottom half of the sides. The cheese will caramelize too quickly if it latches on to greased blue steel, and too much oil reduces the eventual crispness of the crust and adds a little grease that you may or may not want.
3) Save the sauce for last! This is really important, because if you cooked your sauce just right on the stove, if you turn around and put it on the pizza during baking, you're adding more moisture to the dough and further reducing the sauce. Instead, once you've baked the pizza, pull it out and ladle the fresh, still simmering sauce onto the surface. Let the whole thing rest for a few minutes to allow temps to normalize, and then cut and serve.
4) Pepperoni has 2 schools of thought regarding how it goes onto the pizza. Originally, Buddy's would put the pepperoni directly onto the dough along with some oregano, before adding the rest of the toppings and baking. This kept the pepperoni from charring and added that savory flavor to the dough, but people kept complaining that they didn't get the pepp they ordered. So now, Buddy's will do the pepp on top. Loui's still does it on the dough, and when I was at DSPC, I still put the slices directly on the dough. Either way is considered authentic, but I would hope people would try both and form their own opinion.
With all that being said, nice work! Thanks for trying out Detroit-style pizza. :)
Thanks for these tips and details.
Thanks for sharing. This comment deserves more love
Thanks for the advice.
Theres nothing like a slice of Buddys pizza next to Tiger stadium.
Im trying to replicate it at home, not too many options in WA state.
P.S. …
Heres an actual tutorial video from Shawn Randazzo himself.
Sadly he passed away a year ago.

I just seen the Detroit style pizza made on Cook's Country the cook made it just how you said to make it.
Detroit born and raised. We hardly ever get represented in the pizza debate. Thanks Chef John!!
Joanne McMillan LMAO thats BECAUSE it's an Italian and Sicilian thing in case you didn't know ( duh ) it's not a Detroit or a black thing all the way by the way Italy and Sicily have the best pizza in the whole world hands down how do I know I've been there and I bet you haven't just a lucky guess
But is this recipe good?
Fisfis 9999 you have a top ten dating website list in your playlist lmao yikes never been laid? Just a lucky guess
@@kool-aidcorncrap7880 Meh, the Italian pizza is overrated... At least the ones you get in Rome or Torino... Been there tons via work, and never been impressed by it... A lot of other great food in Italy though. Store bought pasta is ruined for me after being there, nothing I can buy locally comes close to what they have down there...
Mommy Dolly That’s some weird racism you got thrown in there 😂 I’ve been to Italy and the pizza is great, but so are the various forms of American pizzas. I don’t know why people like you have to be competitive over it, just enjoy and cherish the food along with its numerous forms.
New York: "We have thin crust!"
Chicago: "We have thick crust!"
Detroit: "We have crust deep fried in olive oil, pepperoni grease, and rendered cheese fat"
Thick crust isn't the same as Chicago deep dish
Chicago doesn't have pizza. Those are sauce pies. Even though they taste good, they are not pizza by any reasonable definition of the word.
@@MrJonsonville5 It's Chicago deep dish. It's pizza, but bigger and better lol
Detroit Will kick Chicago’s and New York’s ass in pizza. Infinitely better.
chicago isnt thick crust!
"When two people are arguing you should probably interrupt them and tell them they're both wrong", wise words indeed.
If you do that in Detroit, you're liable to get shot.
@@wraith657 If you do anything in Detroit you're liable to get shot.
Jason Matthews and Sean O'Nilbud are both wrong.
Psst... if you use two smaller square pans, you can make every slice a corner.

Ive been watching this channel for about two years now. At first i was intrigued with you voice , then your jokes, then just fell in love with how simple and amazing the video actually is. You get to the point and i love that. Youve really inspired me to stretch my culinary wings n fly 🤪🤤🤗 thank you chef john.
You one of the only chefs ill watch.
I really hope you seen this btw. 💖 your wife is so lucky haha . Your food is always in point!
Check out "Cowboy Kent Rollins" channel as well. Almost as amusing as chef John. More importantly, he also has a down to earth style that makes it easy for everyday cooks to recreate his food. Two different styles, but both are great to learn from and entertaining as heck.
@@elkhunter8664 yes I love Kent!
Cheri Ree Been cooking since I was 8 years old. That would be 55 years ago. Two things I've learned over the years is to tweak every recipe to fit yourself and never measure anything, well, unless your baking, then you have to measure :-). Kent and John are the two channels I follow simply because they keep it fun and serve up some good advice.
@@destt8481 I always check to see if Chef John has a recipe for 'it' first. Another channel I watch religiously is Bingeing With Babish. A similar style and every so often he'll make a Chef John reference.
We call it a square pizza in Detroit. Chef John nailed it, that's exactly what it looks like, it's so delicious!
No tf we don’t 🥴 we literally call it deep dish not a single person calls it square pizza. It’s deep dish you’re probably from like Grand Rapids 🤣
@@cianni3163 I call it square or deep dish too interchangeable and I’m from detroit and flint. I think the thing is none of us call it Detroit style. That’s a marketing myth of the last decade.
Much love to the 313 where the company got its start.
@@cianni3163 I worked at one such restaurant, where they were called "Square deep-dish." People ordering would say one or the other, or sometimes Detroit-style or "rectangular." I'd always say deep-dish.
@@brandonhall4547 It's something mostly done by people who aren't from the area. IIRC people in Chicago call theirs deep-dish, too. But sometimes we would have orders for "Detroit-style."
I'm from detroit, and I literally didn't realize that other places didn't have this kind of pizza until like a few months ago lol
I moved away at 22 and it was shocking to me lol. In Los Angeles now and I've been making my own square pan pizzas for the last 5 years and am finally happy again :)
@@FauxToez When I moved to Paris in my 20's I ignorantly told the French they knew nothing about American Pizza, until another American living there tried some of my square pizza and thought I must have learn the technique from the French.
N.Y.C. makes a Sicilian pizza. It's delicious I never really had Detroit or Chicago pizza. Massachusetts I'm at now their pizza sucks unless your starving.
Like literally, really?
Jet's is the best example outside of Michigan.
"That fat will disappear somewhere...nobody quite knows where, exactly."
Having witnessed this phenomenon up close many times over the years, I'm pretty sure the main destinations are the butt and arteries.
More study is needed.
Fat only becomes a problem if you combine it with carbs especially refined carbs like white flour. High carb and high Fat is the worst combination. Just think of things like ice cream high sugar and high fat.
@@MegaLolipop81 Fat only becomes a problem if all is you do sit on your ass :)
the butt? i can only wish...
Not true, in my case it's straight to my nutz! So I really gotta eat in moderation and not as often as I like.
Chef John killing it. My favorite style of pizza, coming from a long time Detroiter. You nailed it. If you're ever in Detroit, I'd love to take you to Buddy's!
Amen Brother. Preach it!!
bizOunc3 I lived in Michigan years ago, beautiful state! I'm curious if Detroit pizza was developed by non-Italians, the way Cincinnati chili was (I think) a Greek variation from the American dish. Really, I was waiting for Chef to announce the secret ingredient is cinnamon.--thank God it isn't! Thank you!
Just don't take him by 8 mile or MLK jr Blvd. :)
This fellow Detroiter agree. Buddy’s has the best pizza. They use Wisconsin brick cheese.
Loui’s in Hazel Park is MUCH better. i.imgur.com/XhlWyHl.jpg
I had to make this, it looked amazing. I happened to be in Wisconsin so I picked up brick cheese. Cutting it up I wasn't crazy about it, very little taste, I almost didn't put it on the pizza. I took it out of the oven and still the cheese looked terrible, almost soupy even though it was browned. Took a bite and OMG so good. The cheese complements the sauce perfectly, the crispiness of the cheese edges and the crust was to die for. I've converted, best pizza recipe in the US.
WI cheese the best.
A former cheesehead here, to me this looked like Rocy Rococo's pizza. Well at least the ones I had as a kid.
"Our friends from Detroit can kind of fill in the blanks."
This just in: our friends from Detroit don't use blanks. Just so you know.
Tom Hall So true 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Spot on. From your Detroit cuz.
Yep. Good Chef knows this now, after repeatedly calling it DEE-troit. Yeah. No.
Tom Hall they will also won’t fill us with kindness
You're making people like me from Michigan proud with this recipe Chef John!!!!!!!!
"This pizza is to die for, possibly literally if you eat this too often."
I live in metro-detroit and work at one of the founding chains of detroit-style square pizza. Get to eat this delicacy every day. 😆
Never gets old.
i envy you.
Not helpful, just self ingratiating. You are what the internet has become.

@@yousircantknow8987 no u
Remember what Chef John said. "It is to die for. Possibly literally if you eat it too often."
I made this today, and it was the best homemade pizza I've ever made! I will continue to use this recipe from now on because it tasted just like pizza we've ordered out, delicious! - from ohio
I'm impressed you non Detroiter you!!!! The secret really is the pan. In fact there is a distinct difference between the suburban Buddy's in the chain, and the Original Buddy's just down the road from me. Decades of seasoning on the pans at the Detroit one really makes a difference. The suburban pies are not that good.
Chef John, if you make it to Detroit, I'll take you on an historical Detroit Style pizza tour, showing you the "evolution" from Gus' Guerrera's Buddy's two a couple other pizza places he started, through some of his "disciples" people who worked for him who later opened their own places- two the newest generation of pizza makers, including one who was the big winner of the world pizza competition a few years back.
(I'm an armchair Detroit Style Pizza "scholar"- I compiled a history tour for a food reporter a few years back.)
make a youtube video on it and ill gie it a watch
Video would be awesome damn
Loui's Pizza is better in my opinion. On Dequindre north of 9 Mile. I think Loui used to work for Buddy's when they first opened up and eventually left and started his own pizza place. Or something like that. I might like Loui's better because I've probably only ever had Buddy's from a chain though. Try a Loui's pizza with just pepperoni and an Antipasto salad. Which Buddy's is the original? I'll try theirs and maybe we'll compare notes one day? You're spot on with the seasoning of the pans by the way.
Wow! I had one in the suburbs and was blown away! Can’t wait to get back and try one in the city. I was driving an RV at the time and didn’t want to go downtown.
Loui's Pizza is OK but its not only about the food its about atmosphere, and the cleanliness of the establishment. The place needs a good cleaning at the least, but a remodel would be key. Old school bowling alley dark and dingy just don't cut it for most folk nowadays.

Being originally from Detroit I always add fresh parmesan to the sauce as well. This looks authentic and amazing. Detroit style is the best!
SO GLAD you love our pizza! It's seriously so amazing compared to other regional specialities! I'm a Detroit expat in Chicago, and no one ever listens to me about the superior quality of pizza with fried edges!
The only way this channel could get better is if we could instantly buy and get what you make. 🤤

Growing up in Metro Detroit, I’ve always loved getting a Buddy’s pizza. Now as an ex-pat living in Europe, there’s nothing even close to it, and I have to make do by getting when I go back to visit my parents. I literally got choked up when I saw the title of this video, and you can be sure I’ll give this a try! Thank you Chef John!!!
Awwww, that is truly sweet! I am glad that you will have a taste of home.
Make one and introduce your European friends to the awesomeness that is a Detroit style pizza.
My dad is from Detroit and I'm also living in Europe and I just went ahead and made some myself. You can do it if you try hard enough.
@mikedoesseo because Neapolitan pizza is overrated and aggravatingly traditional.
Aww. You sound homesick, like me.
I’ve been making my own breads and pizzas since I bought my Kitchenaid stand mixer over a year ago.
You don’t need the mixer, it just makes it faster & easier. You can do this! But don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t come out right at first. It takes a while learning which rack is best in your oven for perfectly cooked crust, for one thing. The bad news is, you might have to eat about 10-12 pizzas before you get it right. The good news is,... well, I’ll just quote Maye West- "Sex is like pizza. Even when it’s bad, it’s good." 😉
From Detroit. Have made this pizza with this pan. You did a nice job. Looks pretty close to Buddy's. Nice work 👍!

Living in RI, I was not familiar with Detroit style pizza until I ran across an interesting video on same. Of course, at first glance you're thinking "huh?, this pie is assembled up side down and does not use mozzarella, what gives?" The thing that really drew me in was (as you sooooo correctly point out) the edge of the pizza. No exposed dough and the incredible caramelized goodness of all ingredients. My first attempts were in Pyrex ... results were OK, but being a life long believer in "the right equipment makes a huge difference" I decided that since every piece of information on the subject specifically pointed out the pan there must be something to it. Boy, is there! So I ordered up the exact pan that you used. As a side note, while looking around my kitchen for an alternative before getting my pan I realized that I had no formed steel cookware. Lot's of cast materials, ceramic, aluminum, glass, plastic, composites of all sorts but no pure steel. The pan is a game changer and results were exactly like yours. That was 6 months ago and since then Detroit style has become a "go to" pizza style in my house. Just to be clear, it was added to my arsenal of pizza styles, I mean here on the East Coast a healthy relationship with NY style pizza is mandatory. Last, I fully agree that now that I've cooked Detroit style it does not remind me of deep dish in any way, shape or form. I do not care for deep dish and when you first see Detroit style it does sort of look like the deep type which almost made me look past it. This is an important clarification for anyone on the fence ... don't worry Detroit Style will not disappoint! Love the channel, keep up the good work.
When you put the pizza on the cutting board, I did a virtual applause. Amazing Chef
Long time watcher... First time opinion maker. I have absolutely NO problem telling you that I have literally spent hours on end watching your videos.
I find them very interesting as well as entertaining. You Sir.. are a Maestro of the Culinary world. Thank you for all that you do.
Agreed. Hours upon hours. I look forward to making them upon choosing one. And I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the inflection thing everyone complains about.
I fixed this after I watched this and it was simply amazing. I used your tomato sauce recipe with garlic powder instead of your pizza sauce recipe and I will be cooking that pizza anytime I get the urge for pizza, It's that good! Thanks for sharing that buddy! By the way, I bought that pizza pan from Amazon and it was not expensive at all.
Dude!!!!! You’re an amazing cat. I’m Detroit born and raised. I thought your Chicago deep dish made me a hit with friends, this made me a God with my grandkids!!!
I live downriver of Detroit and i have to say, this looks better than any of the local stuff you can get claiming to be "Detroit style". Excellent work John. Looks like what my family has made for 3 generations.
I've never been anywhere near it, but "downriver of Detroit" just doesn't sound good!
@@c.j.rogers2422 It refers to the suburbs to the south of detroit.
C.J. Rogers it actually has one of the safiest cities in michigan haha
@@MrRikrad I'm sure it's wonderful. I had never heard the name. I just envision anything flowing downriver out of Detroit being less than desirable! But what do I know?
That's because you're Downriver ;) Plenty of good Detroit style pizza elsewhere in Metro Detroit.
Michigander here! Brick Cheese is a mild low-fat cheese. If you have that, feel free to grate, it'll do fine on the dough. I love the stuff!
I just made this Detroit style pizza today and it turned out absolutely amazing! Absolutely fantastic recipe! Thank you for sharing! 😍
I made pizzas in Detroit for a year; for a first-timer, you did great! I'm pretty sure what you made was a Buddy's pizza through and through; this is almost certainly their recipe except maybe the pan was a little thin and you didn't use quite enough oil. You really should come to Detroit! Buddy's is one definitive style of Detroit pizza (and an excellent representative), but other classic restaurants all have their own take: Loui's, Cloverleaf, Green Lantern, and even Jets the chain place all make distinctive pizzas even though they are all "Detroit style". The real Detroit style pans are much heavier, thicker blue steel. The "used automotive parts trays" bit is not just romantic drivel; it's real. Man I'd love to see the pans they use at the original Buddy's. I bet those are from the 40s. Anyways, if you're ever in Detroit, it's worth exploring the other progenitors of the style!
This guy knows what he's talking about 😏
Can't get the blue pans any more - factory closed or something. I think the pan he's using is one from detroitstylepizza.com - which may be the same pans on Amazon called Lloyd's pans. And, yes, he made a Buddy's pizza which is one of my favs!
I'm in the weird position of thinking Buddy's Pizza is kind of over rated, Green Lantern is my favorite place to go. Shame the only way to get their Detroit style is via delivery. The Lounge doesn't have it for some reason, so they just tell you to order it from one of their delivery places.
@@dakel20 agree with you 100%. Grew up in Madison heights and green lantern was a regular thing at our house back in the day. My family and I still make a pilgrimage down there every so often.
The "original" Detroit Style Pizza was from Shield's Lounge on 6-Mile. I think it is gone now. One of the partners split to start Buddy's. Another from Shield's started Loui's IIRC. Detroit Style is the best, really.
Being from metro Detroit, (10 Mile and Hoover) I have just one pointer; the first rule of deflation rectangulation is you do not talk about deflation rectangulation.
My wife and I are from 12 and Hoover. 😊
I work at the Hospital there
My wife's Aunt passed away there on Easter Sunday this year. What department do you work in?
Grow up at 9 and Hoover the dirty south warren lol !!! Nice to see home town Recognition
Especially because no one ever shouts out Warren. Even though Eminem went to high school in Warren. Lol
I didn't have the traditional square pan so I used a cast iron pan, it works very well to create the nice crust.
Good to know, thanks! ^_^
So nice to see Detroit style pizza finally getting some love. Thanks Chef! Well done!
I've lived in Detroit my entire life and never realized that pan pizza wasn't a thing everywhere.
He lied to Ya. That kind of pan You can easly get in Europe. All kind shapes. Well... Chef John just wasn't everywhere on the planet.
Vapor Adapter it is still Detroit style pizza
Detroit What!
The reason I know your 100% from Detroit is true is that Detroit people never leave Detroit, heck they don't even know what the rest of Michigan looks like. #GrandRapidsLife!
Pan pizza is a thing in New York, it Sicilian style
I am really glad I found this channel.
I felt the exact same way when I discovered Chef John as well
Welcome
Thanks chef John! I'll surprise my husband tomorrow with this pizza when he comes home from work! Here in Norway we are drowning in snow, and he works out as a carpenter. He will be very happy :)
I've made this twice. And it's the first time I've ever made my own pizza dough. This recipes is great, because I don't know how to kneed or use a rolling pin. I'm a native Chicagoan and this Detroit pizza is better in my opinion than the traditional Chicago-style deep dish (for the home chef).
You really do deserve your own #Netflix show! The great recipes and charm, it would be a hit. For me always perfect before-bed unwinding content.
Netflix producers would likely ruin the show. And he probably does quite well for himself as is
@@winfriederlandebert2378 You got that right! He's WAY too good for Netflix.
Chef John is waaaay too cool for Netflix!
Passata is the tomato base of choice with our pizza, if you can get it. If you go to Detroit, be sure to tour Eastern Market, a Randazzo's Market, and have a Pierogi plate in Hamtramck.
Do you guys even have Polish in Hamtramck anymore?
"because that's how they do it at Buddy's"!
YES. I lived 3 miles from Buddy's on NW Highway and ate this every Fri night!
Looks authentic to me...

That Aretha Franklin reference ❤️ hit right in the feels. Great as usual Chef John!
Detroiter here! Looks amazing and on point!! And thank you for mentioning Buddy’s and not Little Caesar’s 😆
Nothing wrong with Little Caesars. They made Detroit style pizza available to the whole country. And the Illich family are good people.
But com' on..... Those of us who don't know what Buddy's is no this is Little Caesars lunch special Pizza. And it is wonderful!
I have to admit though I'm half the planet away from US and that thick rectangular pizza with the embedded toppings is a LC signature in my place
Buddy’s pizza is good and I hate pizza but I do love Little Caesar’s .-.
@@wewd Little Ceasar's is garbage. Oh and I know the Illich family. It's still garbage.
Grabbing this tomorrow!!! I LOVE it so much and never thought to make it myself 😂❤️
Hi, Chef John! Just wanted to say that I've made this half a dozen times or so, and it has become my hands-down favorite pizza. The only variations I now make to your recipe are the addition of 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning to the dough, as well as a very well browned pound of Italian sausage along with the pepperoni. Pizza nirvana. Thanks for everything you've taught me over the years!
Hi... I'm a fan of you channel watching from France. I've done a few of your dishes but this is the first time I'm so moved I feel I must comment. This is/was amazing!!! For the first attempt I followed to the letter and it was more than great 😋 I'll be doing it again and soon but tweaking the toppings 😀 Thank you ever so much ❤️
Probably because it resembles French bread pizza?
You have given me inspiration!
Chef john SMASHING the pizza game! This channel makes my heart happy.
You are, after all, the Robocop of what goes on top !
7:55 Oh yeah. That’s Detroit pizza right there!!! 😍
(For Detroit’s Buscemi’s style, add a little wine to the sauce! OMG🥰)
A red wine?
bob jones Yes. About 1/4c or more, if you like. The sauce will turn very dark and delicious.
And if you tend to get heartburn, add about 1/2t of baking soda to neutralize the acid in the tomatoes. (Random tip)
This is true. And yucky (I was never a Buscemi’s fan, though I appreciate it). I’m a Shield’s kiddo, myself.
And if you don't have any red wine handy (what??) a little splash of balsamic vinegar is pretty good too!
I splurged and bought a pan - definitely worth it!! If you are ever in Ontario, Canada you can pick up Brick cheese at most grocery chains. I have seen it for years but never tried it until making this pizza. Our family has debates over which is the best homemade pizza - thin crust on the Big Green Egg, Chicago-style in the skillet or Detroit-style. They are each very different and equally awesome. Thanks Chef John for all your awesome recipes and videos.
Great buddy's pizza! I always characterized Detroit style pizza as a square with caramelized cheese around the edge. Jets is a solid pizza chain that I consider Detroit style, but it has the standard order or pepperoni pizza ingredients. I'm certainly no Detroit style pizza purist though. Just a guy from detroit who likes pizza.
I got obsessed with Detroit style about a year ago and it's now one of my most prepared at home. I've got the same pan (it's awesome for enchiladas too!) and though I do them up a bit different every time, and I also usually make up a 2-day sourdough for the crust, you pretty much nailed it. I might suggest a couple stretch and folds on the counter before sticking it in the pan for that the rise. But that's about it. Made me want to start one here at way-to-late-o'clock-to-start-a-pizza-dangit.
I followed this exact recipe last night and it was perfect in my cast iron skillet. Thank you, Chef John!
I've been to all 50 states, tried the pizza everywhere. Sorry Chicago and New York. Detroit style is the best, hands down.
I've had all three and Detroit style really is the best.
Agreed. Californian here to say Michigan has contributed much to Americana.
Well Little Cesar's Pizza originated there and its gross....so I'm a little sceptical.
Kat Kameo yeah u got a point but u shouldnt be skeptical until you try it. buddys pizza is actually a whole nother level than any other pizza.
Being originally from Michigan, this reminds me of home. You hit spot on what it should look like. For those who have never had it, I would liken it to what people consider a 'pan pizza' only it's way crispier and the edges are really the best part with all the super crunchy bits.
Sending you love and fond wishes from the D (248)/(313)!
I made this pizza a couple days ago, and it was delicious! Thank you Chef John!
Thanks, Chef John. I've watched a lot of Detroit-style pizza videos and keep trying to convince myself I can make this pizza in a regular pan. But you convinced me otherwise, when you mentioned that the Detroit-style pan makes a great all-around roasting pan. I have several of the Lloyd brand of pizza pans (the Sicilian and the grandma) and will just go ahead now and order myself a Lloyd Detroit pizza pan. I love your videos!
We started making this a year ago and it's been the best part of 2020 for me. The crust always comes out really nice and fluffy without being doughy or undercooked at all. I think having the cheese at the bottom prevents the sauce stripes from getting into the crust and getting soggy. Everyone should really try making this at home, it's probably the easiest of all the different styles to do yourself.
I live in Detroit and we definitely say that. Kudos for the reference!
Hey Chef John, we made this pizza last night and it was AWESOME! Thanks for another great recipe. I think the Monterey Jack and Cheddar combo is better than the standard Mozzarella cheese. My granddaughter thought it was very interesting to place the pepperoni on the dough first then the cheese and sauce followed by more pepperoni. The crust tasted almost like Pizza Hut's pan pizza, which is my favorite that I've been unable to duplicate at home! I'll definitely make this recipe again.
I just made this in a cast iron skillet. O.M.G. The best pizza i have ever eaten, and I made it! I bought a big pepperoni and sliced it just over 1/8" thick. I will be ordering two detroit pizza pans now. Great video chef John!
CJ, made this tonight and everything came out great. We’re a sausage pizza family so I precooked sweet Italian sausage to put on the dough instead of pepperoni, if I had my way it would have been pepperoni😊. I used your cheese type and ratio and it worked great. I also used the pan that I got off Amazon. Little pricey but the quality is very good with welded seams, not folded. Next time I will go a little lower on the oven temp. I have a Wolf oven and although the crust was crisp, a little longer at a lower temp may produce a slightly better crust that is as chewy as it is crisp. There’s none left so that speaks volumes.
"...and that my friend, really was to die for. Possibly literally if you eat this too often."
Man, I'm only 27 seven and you made me feel old for wanting this! LOL
"Proof of Life". Maybe you should have had today's newspaper in front of the yeast. Thanks for the laugh.
Lived here in the Motor City for over half a century and I must say, we do have the best pizza however, I have yet to try New Haven pizza so the jury is still out 🍕🙌🏼 Great video Chef! Literally the only Chef on YT who made Detroit style pizza accurately 🕺🏻
We drive 3 hours away once a year (roughly, depending on cravings) to have Detroit-Style pizza at a great place called Brown Dog in Telluride Colorado. The first time we tasted it we got hooked, we go back every year for that special treat. I am so excited to try and make this at home.
You really got me at incredible textured flavored crustification!
I’m from Detroit! I appreciate you making this video.
If you’re ever out here, Buddy’s Pizza is home to the Detroit Style Pizza. Although there are a few other places as well. Loui’s Pizza, Shield’s Pizza, Cloverleaf Pizza.
Tried it last night, what a success. Big thx for the video. This will become a staple in our repertoire.
Love your recipes and I love that most of your videos are not much longer than 10 mins long most of the recipes that ppl vlog over 10 mins I don’t watch unless it’s really something good!! Thanks chef!!!
This is going to sound so weird - but my mom always said Buddy’s pizza tastes like a grilled cheese sandwich to her. I always thought she was crazy, but I guess it’s not too far off! It never occurred to me to use a different cheese. Trying this tonight!
I love when the pepperonis get those burnt edges
The local pizzeria in my town refuses to put the pepperoni on the pizza until after it's finished baking...disgusting...
Heavenly father, hear our prayers for these lost souls...
Fil Am You should open your own shop and run them out of business.
@ Monica Ortega, it's the best part of pepperoni!
@@glamazon6172 it's crossed my mind.
Thanks for all the great recipes Chef. Hope you and your family have a great holiday and New Year.
You inspired me. I ordered a baking pan on Amazon specifically for Detroit pizzas. Couldn’t find brick cheese so I copied what you did. I didn’t put much olive oil in the bottom of the pan because from experience it ruins the crispiness. The other change was twice as much pepperoni and cut thicker than you did. Sauce was identical to yours. Put my first one to test by inviting my neighbors over in Florida and they went bat . shit over how good it was. I always find your recipes to be on point, easy to make and I love your delivery thank you for what you’re doing
Best way to a woman’s heart, a pizza... well at least mine😂
The best way for you to get to _anyone's_ heart is pizza, assuming 'you" are saturated fat.
I've never been so desperate to actually cook a recipe of you, John. I've cooked actually quite an amount of yours, but I just watched the video and we already had plans for what to make for dinner tomorrow. But fuck those plans, I'm gonna make a detroit-Style Pizza, like you did.
@Naty Dia not even worth mentioning compared to the detroit pizza!
Ummm, where do I start? Thank you! Thank you for this delicious recipe. I bought the pan, 2 pans actually. I made 2 pizzas, one with your ingredients, and the other with "the works". Both were simply amazing! I was debating on my favorite pizza I ever had and this is way up there, if not at the top. The crust, the cheese, ohhh the cheese, the sauce, the entire pizza every single bite was just loaded with flavor. This is definitely a must try by anyone who likes pizza. So chef John, thanks again!
Growing up in Detroit and the burbs i was spoiled by Shield's, Buddy's, Loui's, & Primo's square pizzas. Loui's is still my favorite. After retirement i moved to the Tip of the Mitt where only Jet's makes Detroit Style pizza. Great video!
i just went to Buddy’s for the first time two days ago while in Detroit for Hallowicked! you’ve gotta go!!!
In detroit we got a place called Jet's they make it like this. I believe they started back in th 70's and spread to many states. Here in detroit I have many memories of Jet's on a frieday with my family.
Love pizza but never heard of "Detroit style" or Jetts. About a year ago, I was in Fort Myers Florida, and stopped at a Jetts.....damn that was some good pizza. I LOVE that crust! Been missing it for months now.....
I loved eaten Detroit Pizza PIZZA Hut sold it last yr for a short minute. But I’m from The big D so it’s nice to see that a recipe close to it appeared. So yes I will be trying this recipe out for my first pizza try. Every wkend was pizza night back home. Thank you
I have yet to see something that is a disappointment on these videos. I will be trying this pizza soon. Whenever I'm stressed I watch these shows. That voice is so relaxing and peaceful. Thank you.
Nothing compares to the crispy flavorful corners of a detroit pizza!
I'm from michigan and actually just got done eating one of the original Detroit Style Pizza places, (Cloverleaf) and would like to say your rendition was on point until you added the extra pepperonis. With that being said, great job, the crunch really is by far the best part.
@ Before The Credits, Did you eat the entire pizza place by yourself? Well, the indigestion must have been terrible. 😁
Still worth it!
Yea Before tge credit..he was doing ok until he added the extra pepperoni on top. That's like putting ketchup in a Chicago dawg...Blasphemy! 😕😣
The practical comments are very helpful.
(and entertaining). This definitely has a style of its own, as said.
My Father owned a famous bar on Detroits East side and he had famous ground round burgers and pizza! This really brings back memories thank you!
Hey Chef John, as somebody who lives walking distance from a Buddy's, that looks absolutely legit!
Been waiting for this one chef ! Awesome !!!
Nailed it! I was surprised to see the pepperoni on top of the pizza and thought, “ no, that’s not right”. I was relieved to see later in the video that you did put it on first. If you really want the “Detroit style flavor” and can’t find brick cheese near you, it really is worth ordering it on line. The cheese has a distinctive flavor I haven’t found anywhere else. While you are ordering the cheese, be sure to order the pizza pan too. It’s worth it. I’ve been eating Buddy’s pizza (the original Detroit style pizza) for 45 years now and have never been disappointed.
I made this and it was awesome! (I made my own sauce though.) I used a glass baking pan and a small broiler pan with the oil and I used a little cornmeal since I have it. Definitely will be making it again. My kids absolutely loved it.
Sending love from Detroit! It looks just like Buddy's pizza ❤
I'm a Michigander about 40 mile North of Detroit, looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing another beautiful masterpiece:)
Stay safe...
@@vivalospepes1402 I don't care which direction you go, 40 miles outside Detroit is totally safe. I'm 35 miles from Detroit. No worries. People have a misguided idea about the Metro Detroit area. Oakland County was the 2nd richest County in the US for a very long time.
We made this pizza today with our last packet of yeast. Was so good and easy to do. Thank you for the recipe Chef John!
I made this recipe last night and it was incredible. I put a little less cheese and a lot veggies, which was perfect. The crust was really good and had different texture than a Sicilian slice which I am use to in NY. I will certainly make this pizza again. I am not sure what the pizza controversy is about; they are all great and very different.
Been waiting for this one
This reminds me of Sicilian style pizza we ate in school when I lived in Naples, Italy back in the late 70's.
Total winner, just like the rest of Chef John's recipes. Made two different recipes just today. Everything Onion Dip for tomorrow's game, and Detroit pizza for tonight. The onion dip is super, incredibly easy to make and it's fantastic.
