Detroit, MIDetroit-Style Pizza

Loui's Pizza serves deeply browned square pies in a Hazel Park dining room covered with decades of bottle signatures. Cheese reaches the pan edge to form a crisp perimeter, while sauce runs in stripes across the surface. The old school room and focused execution make the meal feel rooted in local tradition.

Michigan & Trumbull makes airy square pies with crisp cheese edges and a menu that moves beyond standard toppings. The Holden Street space gives the business a permanent home after earlier moves, with a casual dining room and takeout operation. Balanced crust texture keeps even the more elaborate combinations easy to eat.

Cloverleaf Bar & Restaurant carries forward a direct connection to the origins of Detroit style pizza. Its square pies feature a sturdy, airy crust, caramelized cheese edges, and sauce spread over the cheese. The Eastpointe dining room feels like a neighborhood bar, grounding the historic recipe in an everyday setting.

Buddy's Pizza serves its signature square pies from the original Conant Street location where the style took shape. Brick cheese, crisp corner slices, and sauce laid over the cheese define the format. Choosing this flagship keeps the experience tied to the local history rather than one of the company's many newer rooms.

Grandma Bob's brings a playful approach to square pizza in Corktown, with crisp edged pies that include both familiar and unconventional toppings.
