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.

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.

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 💣

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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!

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!

🤣🤣🤣 “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!

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!

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

I hear TREMENDOUS things about Detroit Pizza and I so need to try it so badly. It looks and sounds so great

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.

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.

❤❤❤❤TOTALLY AGREE

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'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.

I love that they also let Mr. Z try the pizza they had

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.

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.

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.

As a native of the Metro Detroit area, this entire episode makes my heart happy.

Just loved how josh just took the bacon and gave it Ollie.... He didn't even ask. Just shows how much he actually cares

That wonderful crunch sound when they bit into it. Amazing!

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

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'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!

Detroit born and raised, our pizza is top tier, thanks for reviewing it

As a southern Italian, the Detroit Pizza in Commercial Street is one of my favorite pizza places in London.

Come to Detroit. The pizza is on another level and so is the shawarma, coney's and soul food. So much to try.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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. 🙌🏻

Thanks to you two guys, I’m making plans on visiting your country just to try its food. I enjoy your channel very much.

As a Detroit native with Sicilian roots, Buddy's Pizza is the most popular in Michigan. MY FAVORITE spot in SEOUL is MOTOR CITY PIZZA, they have a few locations now. I love the JACKSON 5, it is absolutely delicious. Detroit would love to have you visit. You should try Motor City next time you are over to Korea. ...OH and get the fried mushrooms, its a classic!

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.)

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.

Being from Detroit, it's always good to see someone appreciating our pizza. We have a pretty good barbecue scene too.

As someone born in Detroit, and knowing Ollie's passion for browned cheese, I knew he'd love this. Good job!

I live in western Michigan but have had Detroit style many times. Love it. There some great foods here and it would be fantastic if the Jolly team came here.

My wife is from Detroit and has been a long time fan and would love it if you went to Detroit!. She got me watching you guys a few years ago and watching your videos is something we enjoy doing together.

The little surprise at the end is awesome 😄
