Enough about New Yorkers loving our Detroit-style pizza.
Let's shoot over to the other coast, where the San Francisco Chronicle headlines a story: "How the Bay Area came to embrace Detroit-style pizza."
Reporter Jonathan Kauffman writes:
The paradox of pizza authenticity is on display at Square Pie Guys, Marc Schechter and Danny Stoller’s 4-month-old pop-up, whose interpretation of Detroit-style pizza is both heretical and delicious, as well as in the new Detroit-style pizzas at Pizza Squared in the Design District and Leaning Tower in Oakland.
All serve what first appear to be mini Sicilian pies — which aren’t square, by the way, but rectangular — until you lift one up and notice a filigree fence of crisped, brown cheese around the rim. Some dot the top of the pie with sauce instead of spreading it underneath the cheese cap. The most persnickety import brick cheese from the Midwest.
Detroit-style pizza may not be having quite the same moment as culturally appropriative ayurvedic treatments and fuzzy sweaters, but it’s having a moment nonetheless.
