Niki's Pizza Is Not Detroit's Best, But It's Not Too Far Behind

It may not have the blissfully indulgent greasiness of Loui's or the balance and crispness of Buddy's, but no exploration of Detroit-style pizza is complete without a stop in Greektown at Niki's Pizza, where the thick sauce and chewy crust form the backbone of some excellent pizza.

Daily Slice: Brooklyn Pizza in Birmingham, Michigan

October! National Pizza Month! This month we'll be bringing you Daily Slice, quick snapshots of slices and pies all of us at the Serious Eats empire have been enjoying lately. —The Mgmt. [Photograph: Maggie Hoffman] You can order whole pies at Brooklyn Pizza in Birmingham, Michigan, but everyone seems to be here for a quick thin-crusted slice, a pitstop near the Anthropologie or on the way to the movie theater. Slices are reheated in a wood-burning Renato oven—when we asked about it, the cashier said it was about time to put another log on the fire....

Livonia, Michigan: Great Detroit-Style Pizza at Buddy's

The chewy, caramelized cheese where the slice touches the edge of the pan has a texture somewhere between crunchy and just short of beef jerky. If you could top the entire pie with that, it would either be heaven or the worst kind of overkill. I don't know which, but I wouldn't mind finding out.

Reader Rec: 'Supino Pizzeria Is the Real Deal'

Reaching in to the Slice mailbag, we've got ... Supino's eponymous pie. The Supino features roasted garlic, black olives, chile oil, ricotta, red sauce, and mozzarella. [Photograph: seekoh on Flickr] Adam, Summerfield here. After reading the link about pizza in Detroit, posted on Slice in August, I've had two eating experiences at Supino, which was rated No. 1 by the Detroit Free Press.Supino is the real deal. Its pizza is pretty near a New York–Neapolitan style. The crust actually seems slightly thinner than what I remember New York metro pizza to be (it's been nine years since eating a pie...

The Detroit Metro Area's Top 25 Pizzas

[Credit: Detroit Free Press] In May Alan Richman dropped his Top 25 Pizza List in GQ magazine and in a related story somewhat counterintuitively declared Detroit the No. 3 pizza city in the U.S. The Detroit Free Press now seems to be reacting to the pizza spotlight—a little late but better than never. What's interesting, though, is that the Freep story focuses not on the Sicilian style that Richman praised as being "flawlessly executed" consistently throughout the region but on the up-and-coming pizzerias in the Motor City. The paper rounds up 25 places to check out. View the list,...
