Never realized there were so many native Detroiters watching these British dudes with me. Glad to see we’re out here representing 😂
What up doe? We really do have the best pizza imo.
@@Roar_Restored what up doe! Haven't heard that in a hot minute! ❤D!
Yes!
@Gkambroz Fr! ...was about throw hands when Josh said Chicago was #1!!!
Yes!!!! 🤗🤗
Can imagine Mr. Z bringing his own neopolitan pizza to this place and have at it passive aggresively as ollie continues to crack carbonara pizza jokes
God, consuming too much CZcams 🫠🫶
@@shredhead21 neopolitan sorry 😐 ducking autocorrect
Italians woud not consider this as pizza, it's an entirely different type of food, or maybe even an offshoot of what they usually consider pizza, asme with chicage deep dish. It seems that if you put the correct label on things Italians don't seem to get so worked up about the american versions of italian food
edit to add: I wrote this out early in the video, but Mr Z essentially said what I thought he would say
@@prodigypenn What Italians? The Neapolitans? Milanese? Sicilians? Do you speak for all of them, though it appears you yourself are not Italian?
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.
@@prodigypennthis is literally Sicilian style pizza adapted to the kitchen tools the Sicilian immigrants had available to them in 1940s Detroit.
As a Detroiter, I say THANK YOU for trying real Detroit style pizza. So many people think if you put the sauce on top it’s Detroit style! The pan is SO SO important! Love the reaction!
its not pizza, the same way you detroiters loose your mind over putting ketchup on hotdogs. your pizza is not pizza, I'm not saying it doesnt taste good, but more like a lasagna/casserole
Who hurt you?@@dissposableaccount
@@lengo4074 it was emotional damage watching detoileters eating lasagna pizza
@@dissposableaccountDefine pizza. There is no definition that doesn't apply to this style.
@@dissposableaccount you're like the type of person who butts into every conversation with "it's not ACTUALLY chocolate." whenever anyone mentions white chocolate in any context whatsoever.
sometimes names just catch on, whether you think it actually fits that description or not. maybe you should campaign against root beer next.
The fact Josh would willingly to donate the whole piece of bacon purely because of the look in Oliie's eyes, makes me want a friendship like theirs!!
TRUE friendship!!!! fr
Yes, cuz I would never 😅
Good friends are hard to find
As a midwesterner, Detroit style really is the hidden gem of pizza in America imo - should be much more popular than it is
It’s getting there. I live in Baltimore and I had never heard of it like 5 years ago, now it’s everywhere around here
Yeah, same in Denver
Although I had heard of it because I'm from Detroit
Learned about as a kid in the 80s when little ceasar's came to NE Ohio.
Like eating a loaf of bread
As someone who spent 15 years working in Detroit, I can't stress how excited I was to see both of you try this pizza. It's delicious and basically most people haven't heard of it!
It's called Sicilian pizza everywhere else.
@@sainjawoof3506 no, that is not the same thing. It's square and fluffy, the similarities end there.
@@coachjones6705 looks like every Sicilian I've had before.
It’s been getting tons of attention over the last couple years on food CZcams.
@@sainjawoof3506It uses brick cheese, sauce on top, and the super crunchy cheese curtain. It’s not the same.
Being from Michigan. I love seeing Detroit get the love it deserves. Such an amazing city with some of the richest culture and history. It’s a gem.
Right? It kinda always has been… the city has changed, but it’s always been great
Go Lions!!! :)
@@marinesnip - The Lions ‘went’!!!! 🦁 🏈
I love Detroit!
Detroit has been beat up by the media for too long. People do not know that it has been improving the past couple of years.
As a Detroiter, seeing this was absolutely wonderful. Always good to see my hometown getting recognized 🙏🏾❤️
Birmingham here. Close enough. 😄
I’m in Chicago I do prefer the Detroit deep dish so filling and tasty
i miss jet's pizza so much
As a Michigander all I ever see is recognition of Detroit. As if the rest of us don't exist
Detroit pizza in London!❤
*As a Detroiter I approve of these pies. I was afraid you wouldn't be getting a real Detroit style pizza.*
The crust is a LOT taller than Buddy's, but yeah, not bad.
@@alittlebitgone for sure taller. Still looks good though.
Buddy’s invented it, but as most pizza, New York perfected it. Lions, Tigers, and Squares, and Emmy Squared took it to the level it’s at internationally today.
@@alittlebitgone looks great though... I know Buddys was the original. But there are a lot of other places here that have Detroit style or you can just ask for Detroit style crust and than get whatever you want on it. Jets is one of my favorite
I felt the same way! Really looks like their doing good work across the pond. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
As a Detroiter this looks legit 👍🏽 Glad you guys enjoyed 😊
I just went to Loui's and had a great time. What's your favorite in Detroit?
Not the pineapple...and the honey jalapeno is a newer combo...
@@romulus_ mine is Buddy's, but Loui's is right there with it.
@@romulus_Louis is my favorite with Grren lantern at 2

Detroit style pizza is very popular in Korea, too! A restaurant called Motor City sells Detroit style pizza in Itaewon, Korea and people line up 30 minutes before it opens. I was surprised that it was very delicious when I ate it for the first time. I want to visit America someday and try the original Detroit style pizza.🍕
I watched the video's of it being made in Korea and as a Detroit-native I must say that it appears as if your countryman have truly mastered making the Detroit-style pizza. The video's make it appear absolutely delicious!
You’re welcome in Detroit anytime! But I’d choose the warmer months…
I will take you to all the best pizza joints if you ever hit me up
wow you guys are so kind and welcoming 🥹 make my expectation even higher
@@SongJLikesunless you like ice skating, shopping etc and pulling out the winter clothes every now and then.
Detroit native here, I LOVE that our pizza is getting more attention! It's criminal how undersold it is. You always hear about NY style or Chicago, but hardly anyone talks about our pizza- though, if I'm getting a deep dish, you better BELIEVE it's gonna be Detroit.
Detroit style isn’t deep dish.
@@freedomthefreeman487 yes it is
My mom used to work at Little Caesars in Detroit. Their deep dish is definitely modeled off Detroit pizza.
@@peachykeen7634 Detroit style pizza has nothing to do with Little Caesars. Detroit style pizza is NOT deep dish. Have a good day!
@@Elle-eh6gx just because you say it doesn’t make it true. It is factually not deep dish. Try again.
As someone from Detroit, you have to try Buddy’s, Hungry Howie’s, Vernor’s, Faygo and Better Made chips next! I’m sure all other Michigan viewers would agree that we actually have a lot of Detroit/ Michigan/ Midwest exclusive foods/ brands that are iconic and worth trying! ❤️
Also, a real Flint coney dog, Halo Burger, pasties, Faygo, and Mackinaw Island Fudge.
There’s no soda pop like Faygo - especially the Red Pop and Rock ‘n Rye.
Buddy's isn't the king anymore, honestly it's not that good anymore. Much better spots now
You made me homesick! The only ones I can occasionally get are the pops. I do prefer Detroit coneys, fight me flint! 😂
Buddys and Hungry Howies is two different levels though lol
As a Detroit native, I'm so glad you enjoyed our hidden gem as much as we do! Please do come on over, we've got LOTS of great food. Don't miss the amazing Middle Eastern food just down the road in Dearborn, either.
💯
or a Coney !
As an East Londoner, I am not so glad they enjoyed it. From now on it's going to be way busier than before and I will have to queue up 😬
and eat chicken fried chicken with collard greens mashed taters at union assembly.... some of the best collard greens i had since i was little! reminded me of my grandmas from Detroit!
I’m from CA and they had Detroit style at some places out there but they didn’t call it that. It’s a great way to make a pizza
As a Sicilian American, this was my grandma’s pizza. The Detroit flair is the sauce stripe on the top. Good Detroit pizza is tha bomb 💣
The chefs at these restaurants have to love these guys. Their reactions are so pure. Has to make a chef happy seeing someone react to their food with joy.
"we do bribe a few people" you gotta respect owner's brutal honesty especially on camera
lol its u again
finally im the first person to reply and like
im now the protagonist
its detroid, so i assume thats a MAFIA refrence.
@@Ztsakkeus It's called banter my guy, bribery isn't solely a reference to mafia lmao. If there were going to be references to the mob, it would be in Jersey or Chicago, not Detroit
@ofthehowl guess you never heard of John gotti and the teamsters
@@oftheHowl to me that sounds like banter. But its true all conversation can be interpret based on the listener.
As a Detroit native, I clicked on this video so fast! I’m thrilled to see my favorite Brits and my favorite pizza in the same place, but it would be even better to see them properly in Michigan sometime! ❤
The end with Mr. Z was perfect! I grew up on Detroit style, so I'm loving that people elsewhere are finally discovering it.
Being a Londoner, I was pleasantly surprised to find this Detroit Pizza spot just a 20-25 minute drive from me - big thanks for the tip, Jolly!
Last year, while visiting family in Detroit, I was initially hesitant about their renowned square pizza. 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!
Sicilian girl here! We call this pizza style “sfincione” and grandmas still make it 🥰
No offense but I doubt the formula is the same. I had sfincione from a Sicilian place and it tasted nothing like Detroit Pizza. Bread is much worse and it doesn't have the outside caramelized cheese, not the same cheeses. It was so much worse then Detroit Pizza I was tempted to give it back and ask for a refund due to the level of disappointment. Like I was having an existential crisis due to how disappointing it was.
@@nicholasjh1 oh I’m sorry you were having an existential crisis over pizza 😭😭😭
Must have been the original product which developed into nowadays Detroit Pizza over the years 🍕
I feel the big difference between Detroit style and Sicililian is that Detroit always has lots of crispy cheese on the edges which is the best part. Never been to Sicily but comparing to that style in NYC.
@@nicholasjh1 I mean...Detroit style pizza literally originated from Sicillian style pizza. They are obviously different, but they are two of the closest styles of pizza. No need to be over-dramatic and rude about it. But yes, they are not the same, and are made differently
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.
I never trust Josh's reactions, but Olly isn't afraid to say what he feels, that's the ticket
The only problem with Olly is that he has pretty basic taste. So his recommendations are really good for pretty standard fare but not for the stuff that's a bit off the beaten path. For example, I thought that he may complain about the jalapeños in that Hawaiian pizza
@@nataliajimenez1870 you thought wrong, so maybe recalibrate
That was rude, @@jankie55
How can you trust a basic taste eater?
You can't trust either of em 🤣🤣🤣 I don't really watch them for the food recommendations ahahah Josh likes everything and Ollie barely likes anything so 😂
Ollie calling a pizza the best one he had in his life MEANS something, people!!!
HAHAHAHA I love that they were so determined they hauled the pizza all the way to him because they were determined to hear his thoughts on it RIGHT NOW
As a Michigander, I feel so happy that they are enjoying this pizza style. Come to Detroit and try the original!
As a Detroiter, it's wild to see our Pizza on here! You guys need to come here and try local pies. I recommend Loui's, Green Lantern, Grandma Bob's, or Michigan & Trumbull.
Loui’s and Cloverleaf!
Them Green Lantern subs though……
Shield's in the Maccabees building is really good, too.
I’m from Chicago and am sad to say I never heard of Detroit pizza. It looks amazing and I definitely have to try it!
Watching this made me crave Grandma Bob's from the other side of the state.
A thing to note, if you came to Detroit to try the pizza at Buddy’s (probably the most classic place people will recommend) they use Wisconsin Brick cheese.
They need to go and sample Buddy's, Shield's, Sorrento's, and Cloverleaf for a true test of Detroit pizza.
@@mariannedelano7983 Can't forget Loui's. Though they've been hit or miss since the pandemic, when they hit they hit harder than the rest
@Jagermaster13 I used to live on Shields Street in Detroit in 1984/85. I was close to Buddy's but across the street from Shield's. I preferred Shield's. I also lived near Loui's but only ate there once in like 1992. I wasn't impressed. I live a couple of miles from Sorrento's and Cloverleaf now. I prefer Sorrento's a tiny bit over Cloverleaf. I should probably try Loui's again though.
My heart swelled to see this! Detroit Pizza is having a moment and I love to see the well-deserved recognition.
This makes me so happy!! To hear people actually praising my hometown, Detroit, is really nice and refreshing. I've been eating Detroit-style my entire life and I've never realized how lucky I am. Also, I happily volunteer to show you guys around Detroit and the surrounding area ✋😅💜 If you guys bring your appetite, we can get more pizza, coney dogs, polish food, shawarma, gyros, hot fudge cream puff sundaes, and of course plenty of craft beer and pop! Beyond delicious treats, our city offers some of the best architecture, art, and history of the Midwest. Wanna see where Motown was born? We can go there. Wanna learn more about the Underground Railroad? Yep, you can tour sites here. I know I am probably overselling it, but for decades our city has been forced to be the joke of America. I've literally had people step away from me when they hear I'm from the Detroit area. So please come when you can, and check out our amazing city.
Oh wow I needed this list for myself haha! Moving back to Michigan next year and I’m sad I never gave Detroit a chance when I was younger. Now I have some ideas!
Your city is not the joke of America. True hard working old school proud people! Never sell out mid western values. ❤️
I am a lifelong metro Detroiter. Happy to showcase all of the delicious restaurants we have in the area. One of the best kept secrets here is how many great options we have to choose from. We have a very eclectic mix of cuisine here. Definitely a food lover's place.
How's the spaghetti there?
@@TheDascoyou mean goulash?
No such thing as bad pizza, I like all styles.
You have never been to Japan I take it.
@@TheBaldr No but I would be too full after eating ramen, sushi, curry, teppanyaki, yakitori and tempura to eat pizza there but I've heard good things.
@@TheBaldr I’ve had amazing and very authentic/certified Neapolitan Pizza in Tokyo before. Japan has great pizza.
Orlando at 2 had a bad pizza. Not bad, DISGUSTINGLY terrible.
Except the sweet one
As someone that moved to MN from the east coast I always thought Detroit style wasn't as good as east coast pizza........I was so wrong. You boys know how to make an amazing pizza and now I love it. Props to Detroit.
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!
I love this accidental friendship with Mr. Z
From mysterious Bond-villain sandwich creator to basically their Godfather. He has style, connection, knows everything and everyone, plus he has become the authority on everything pizza, so much so that they share all the bizarre and amazing pizzas they encounter. From calling him all the way from Texas about pickle pizza on a stick to delivering him the new thing they discovered, because they like him and respect his opinion so much (also, I believe Ollie wants to prove him wrong someday 🙃)
This is the most wholesome friendship development I've seen in a long time and it's so nice to see!
So true! He is really one of the boys - absolutely love how Ollie finds every opportunity to slag him off about Italian food and love Mr. z’s steadfast denial that anything is better than Italian food. The cameo at the end was the perfect end to what was such a fantastic video.
A very unexpected friendship. They have truly turned into friends for life
Reminds me of the Really Dough? videos with Mark Iacono (founder of Lucali's pizza in NY, pizza purist) and Scott (hosts the pizza tours in NY). Scott would bring all kinds of pizza to Mark that would challenge Mark's strict definitions of pizza.
Took the words right out of my mouth!
As someone from Detroit, absolutely love seeing this. Detroit stlye pizza just hits different, so comforting. Last time I was home I ate pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner - god bless.
Great to see Detroit-style pizza get some international love! Glad you guys enjoyed it. Signed... a native Detroiter.
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.
Feels weird and good to see so many detroiters/Michiganders and lovers of Detroit style pizza in the comments!!! Glad it made it over to london for you to enjoy. That place looks amazing
Detroit native here, so glad you recognize the greatness! It's so underrated, maybe one of the most underrated in the country. Super crispy cheesy crust and a fluffy as heck dough.
So happy to see you guys try Detroit pizza! As a native who now lives in SC I really miss it and was so jelly when I heard that amazing crunch sound! I agree you guys should do a Detroit trip, so many great Detroit foods I sorely miss. Coneys, great Jewish deli's, wonderful middle eastern food, Boneless Almond Chicken!
I was born and raised in the greater metro Detroit area, as well as lived in Detroit proper for quite some time. We probably have one of the most diverse food scenes in the world. Just about every country and culture is represented in a 50 Sq mile area.
Thats just one of the many AMAZING aspects of the detroit food scene is its diversity.
Fellow Detroiter here. It absolutely is the best pizza. Completely it’s own and perfect in every way. Thanks for showing how great it is!
As a New Yorker, I didn't get to try Detroit pizza until I moved away. It looks heavy like a Chicago deep dish, but I was pleasantly surprised at how light and fluffy it was. If you're in the Bay Area, Golden Boy makes a pretty good Detroit style pizza.
As in Sf/Bay Area, California??! Where!? I live in the Bay area!
There's one in North Beach in San Francisco (always a long line but it moves quickly) and one in San @@taniawatkins-go8xz
@@taniawatkins-go8xz Yep! There's one in North Beach and one in San Mateo
Nice, will have to check out that place as well as Slice of Homage which does Detroit, Sicilian and NY style and is only a couple of miles from me.
Not as good as a real detroit style. The pan is not as deep and the edges of the pizza is too doughy and NOT crispy. Northern California makes terrible pizza. I tried the so called chicago and NY places and they are all terrible. Even slices of pizza i tried at washington DC were way better
Looks like proper Detroit style pizza, I am so impressed to know you get to try our pizza where you live! We rarely get mentioned in pizza conversations. Henry Ford is also responsible for American backyard barbecue. His brother-in-law, Kingsford, invented the charcoal briquette to reuse all the saw dust that was produced from making cars. Ford provided small, portable grills with the purchase of a car
Michigander here and I Love Detroit style pizza. That crust is everything. Thank you for recognizing how good it really is.
I think my favorite thing about jolly videos like this is that they love the food so much that they want to share it and have the film crew try it too. It’s not just about Josh and Olly enjoying it. It’s for everyone to experience
Detroit style pizza is so underrated...and I'm a NYer saying this
Don't take away from NY pizza either...... The US has taken pizza and put some great new twists on it so in all reality, it just depends on your mood and tastes which one fits the bill!
As a fellow NYer I can confirm that the only other style of pizza I will spring for other than NY or a classic Neopolitan is Detroit Style.
@@liamengram6326agreed
Since Ollie was talking about his final meal it would be fun if you two made a video about all your favorite last meals
Watching people eat food they've never had before, made by people who put their heart and soul into the specific style of food they make is so wholesome. Love the channel!
I'm truly over the moon! Having lived in Detroit my entire life I'm really delighted that you've "discovered" and love our contribution to the pizza universe, plus I'd like to give props to the London restaurant that is obviously doing a fabulous job in re-creating it for the UK. I'm absolutely drooling now, lol!
JOLLY never fails to make us smile. They're the best at what they do.
At eating food?
its an art @@Woozlewuzzleable
Makes me proud to be English ❤ lovely lads ❤️
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.
I've lived in New York, Chicago and California. Being from Detroit, I always felt I was biased. After my travels, I was right all along. Detroit style is truly the best.
My mom is from Detriot but I grew up in a different state. I always called this style of pizza "home style pizza" because it was how we made it at home. I only learned that the style of pizza my mom always made us and that she had taught us to make was actually Detroit pizza when I turned 20. I still call it "home style pizza" sometimes by accident.
There’s nothing better than homemade pizza. 🍕 ❤
Just loved how josh just took the bacon and gave it Ollie.... He didn't even ask. Just shows how much he actually cares
🤣🤣🤣 “How did Eminem grow up so angry?”
You guys are the perfect team. Josh has the perfect reactions to Ollie’s off the wall observations!
Wow so many Detroiters in this comment section myself included, love to see it. Love to see ppl around the world getting to know the deal, that crust is undefeated. So proud of my city
As a native of the Metro Detroit area, this entire episode makes my heart happy.
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!
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.
My husband is from Michigan, and I now think we'll have to go to Detroit to try some of this when we are in the state the next time. However, we also have Motor City Pizza Co. available in the freezer sections of grocery stores here in the US, and it is the BEST frozen pizza I have ever had!
It is a cheap imitation of the real thing. The steel high wall pans with the cheese melted against the walls are a thing that can't be replicated. The dough also rises and is so much more light and airy.
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
Where can you get a good Detroit style pizza in NJ? I’m in Mercer county…
As someone who lives near Philly in New Jersey, I've been saying for some time that we need more Detroit style represented around here. Also, I think it's time for us to address the elephant in the room and admit that America has taken the pizza concept and created it's own...BETTER...pizza. I said what I said.
I live just outside Detroit, have a very good friend who is first generation Italian. Her family was one of those southern Italian immigrants that brought this exact style of pizza to Michigan. Cheers!
Yes, it's kind of its own thing. In the USA, we have the New York style and Chicago style as two of the pillars of pizza... but Detroit style is a hidden gem. It's nothing like New York style, and you might compare the thickness to Chicago style except that the thickness is due to the fluffy bread/crust. It's not dense with stuff like Chicago style. And it's really defined by baking in that pan, with the crispness of the outer crust. There's nothing quite like Detroit pizza. It stands on its own.
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.
I'm always nervous when I see the boys trying American staples in England because I'm always thinking "ehhh... is this REALLY legit?" but once I heard Ryan with an American accent all my fears were assuaged. (not to say a Brit can't go to Detroit, fall in love with the pizza, and bring it back, but let's just say I've had "Mexican" food in England and it is not right... at all... as I'm sure with a lot of ethnic foods in the US lol)
Ryan sounds like he's from Detroit, too. He's got the Southeast MI accent.
@@warriyorcat had that thought, too, but I'm not super familiar with that accent in particular so it was mostly a guess lol
@@warriyorcat
Hate to tell you guys but he's Canadian
It's so fun to discover the Sicilian roots of this pizza. I've had it several times before but never made that connection until this video. 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!
If you come to Detroit let your fans know, there is a PLETHORA of food options here, would be our pleasure to show you guys around - Buddy's Pizza, Polish Food in Hamtramck, Middle Eastern Food in Dearborn. Of course Detroit Coney Dogs from Lafayette or American Coney. Better Made Chips, Faygo and Vernors.
As a Michigander currently living in London, I'm excited to try this place out. If you go to Detroit, you should also have a coney dog, an olive burger, and Faygo Rock 'n' Rye pop. Plus Eminem has a restaurant called Mom's Spaghetti.
Eminem can suck it! i went thru hell in early 2000s cause of that mofo!!!! moved to Indiana... everywhere i went.... 8 mile 8 mile Detroit Detroit! ARE YOU FROM DETROIT! no i was from the whitest named suburb in MI! over 45 mins from Detroit called White Lake
And Vernor's, Sanders Bumpy Cake or Sanders Cream Puff, and Olga's!
Of course, Faygo Rock n Rye Pop, anything Sanders!!!! 😋😋😋😋....
I love that they also let Mr. Z try the pizza they had
I hear TREMENDOUS things about Detroit Pizza and I so need to try it so badly. It looks and sounds so great
Jolly definitely needs to come to Detroit for some food tasting, you won't be disappointed, I promise! The best Detroit style pizza is at Buddy's Pizza. 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! 🤗
I'm from Michigan, currently attending the University of Michigan, and I must say we have some incredible food especially in the metro Detroit area! Neapolitan wood fired and Detroit style are the best for sure. You guys need to come for a visit!
As a Michigander seeing Josh and Ollie love detroit style makes me so happy they just need to come to Michigan and try the real thing now.
I love these two guys….their rapturous expressions when they eat something for the first time that they love gives me LIFE!
A few things. Being from Detroit, your Eminem comment almost made me fall out of my chair I was laughing so hard!!! And FYI, Domino's, Little Ceasars, Cottage Inn, Jett's, and Hungry Howie's are all Detroit-based companies.
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.
hell yea. I'm going to visit down from Toronto to experience some of the food
@@wabdih while here also look into the Polish and Middle Eastern foods. Michigan has a very diverse history
I had to rewind it a few times at a part.their accents are so proper I didn't understand why he was asking why M&Ms are so angry.ohhhh Eminem. I love their reactions☺️
To answer Ollie's question - Eminem was angry because he grew up very poor, and his mother never gave him Detroit pizza.

I know I'm like the 1,900th Detroiter to say something like this, but few things make me happier than watching people try out Detroit-style pizza and love it.
The Michiganders are really showing up in the comments! Maybe we can talk Josh and Olly into a Midwestern tour. They're missing out on so much amazing food and sights. 😁
LOVE this episode! I’m an American, and I had no idea Detroit pizza was a thing! Amazing!
- Looked it up, and there is a Detroit pizza place in Florida! 🎉 I’m gonna have to try it! Thanks, Jolly!
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 🤤
i walk to shell every now and then for some faygo! only pop today you can get for under 2 bux a bottle cold!
granted its a 2 mile walk each way... hell weight loss for my fatass
As a southern Italian, the Detroit Pizza in Commercial Street is one of my favorite pizza places in London.
I love seeing when y’all share it with the crew 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 and their reactions. Just a fun human moment to eat and be happy. I get anxious so I mostly drink soup, but I love seeing the vids
Oh My goodness! I'm long time fan from Detroit, and I'm so excited to see yall try our pizza! Glad you enjoyed!!!
P.S. If you do come to Michigan, Buddy's Pizza is the absolute best Detroit- Style Pizza!
Hello, fellow fan from Detroit! I was so excited when seeing this pop up on my notifications
I’m also from metro Detroit and I can confirm, Buddy’s is the TRUTH 💯
Agreed Buddy's is amazing. Every time I visit the Detroit area I stop for pizza at one of the locations.
NIce to see there are so many fellow fans from Motown.
I am a fellow fan from Traverse City and I have had buddy’s pizza for my birthday dinner for over a decade!!!
As a Michigander I’m happy to see our hidden gem is getting some recognition abroad… even a lot of Americans don’t know how good Detroit style pizza is
i grew up eating buddys! my grandparents from Farmington Hills would go out get it once in a while! was so good!
As a southerner that has tried both NY style pizza and Detroit style pizza, I prefer the Detroit Style.
There is SO much Americans don't know, it's embarrassing.
I'm all the way out in Utah so I have zero access to a proper Detroit-style pizza.
I only know what Detroit style pizza is because when my family was way younger, we'd have pizza from a Snappy Tomato Pizza location where their main type of pizza is Detroit style. I know it's an American chain, but having it in the UK is great (I live in a market town in Rural England, a place you wouldn't expect to find an obscure pizza chain.)
My mom likes to reheat the leftover pieces in a pan on the stove on low heat for a couple minutes so the bottom crunches up again and gets crispy.
Detroit born and raised, our pizza is top tier, thanks for reviewing it
before I even watch, I gotta say this is huge for us JOLLY fans in Detroit lol I’m also shocked there’s a Detroit style pizza joint in London. dope
Come to Detroit. The pizza is on another level and so is the shawarma, coney's and soul food. So much to try.
As a former Detroiter , tears of joy came to my eyes when I heard that amazing corner crunch! 😢
I was born in Detroit and have lived back in suburban Detroit since I was 12 (67 now) and I think Detroit style pizza has the fabulous combination of being, both, heavy and light at the same time. 🙌🏻
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.
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.
If I could I would “like” this comment a million times. 😊
That wonderful crunch sound when they bit into it. Amazing!
usually the pans were taken home by the workers when new ones were distributed. Instead of throwing them in the bin they took them home. The pans were usually used for bolts ,screws etc. the people cleaned them and used them for pizza. Quickly finding out the cheese caramelized and crisped on the sides while baking gave birth to the detroit style pizza.
Detroit is so underrated. A nice compromise between regular pizza and Chicago deep dish.
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THE DAY!!! DETROIT STYLE PIZZA ON JOLLY!!! 🎉 ppl rave about Chicago and NY style pizza, but the crispy edges on Detroit style pizza is where it’s at
Love Detroit style. Still wanting them to try St. Louis style though...
❤❤❤❤TOTALLY AGREE
As a Detroit local, I can confirm that nothing beats Detroit style, nothing but perfection
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.
