Taro T Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 8 hours ago, ... said: Is the pizza that good? Haven't tried it, yet? Detroit style pizzas around here are routinely small and overpriced but if they nail the execution I could excuse all of that. I like Resurgence but Pearl has some good beers, too. They were at the vanguard of the brewery/restaurant paradigm. ??? You're in Buffalo; why go for a Detroit style pizza? Maybe you could find a Houston style chicken wing while you're at it. And don't understand the comment about the Brew Pub thing. The Buffalo Brew Pub on Main just off Transit was something like the 8th in the country. Pearl St wasn't brewing in the 80's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Speaking of pizza, y'all ever gone to Jays Artisan Pizza on Delaware in Kenmore? Pretty good, recommend you get there early or do takeout. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good, recommend you get there early or do takeout. We tried three different pizzas from there at once to test them out given all of the hype. One was their Detroit. Based on the hype, pie sizes, and, maybe most importantly, the prices, we were not impressed. The Detroit was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 (edited) 2 hours ago, ... said: the prices When I was a kid we'd get pizza from Roma Italian Restaurant on Genesee Street just west of Union (now 33 Speakeasy Grill). Small was $2.50, large was $3.50; add 50 cents for pepperoni. We'd ride over on our bikes and carry them home. We didn't drop them.... usually. My first job was as a dishwasher there.

Given a choice I'd go to Resurgence or Buffalo Brewery (for the Detroit style pizza) but Pearl is pretty good too. What the hell is a Detroit Style Pizza? Domino's? i.e. bad.

Not as extreme as Chicago deep dish, and generally kind of crustless as in the cheese goes all the way up to the pan and gets a nice browned edge. Check out the link in Promo's post for an idea. It's pretty good.

Probably tastes good, but I'm not sure it's actually pizza. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo pizza is my favorite style, but Detroit is a great change up once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the best pizza I've ever had in my life. Nothing like it out west here. West coast pizza is generally pretty bad. 55 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: It's not lasagna.

I don't really consider Chicago deep dish pizza either. If you want all that stuff imo you might as well fold it over and call it a Panzerotti. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTJoe Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 When going to UB, we' go to a restaurant on Bailey on Tuesdays: $5 for a pizza and a pitcher of beer. can't remember the restaurant and neither were great but, $5 for a college student (actually $2.50 if eating with the gf) was great 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stores for a company who's main selling points are cheap & fast located 1/2 a continent away from HQ aren't nearly as concerned about quality as the ones that could literally have a corporate exec in their shop at any time?

I remember when they came into Texas I was kind of excited because in Detroit it really was good pizza, but it's basically no better than pizza you get at a chain gas station like QT or RaceTrac.

This may correlate with random chants of "Detroit Sucks" still breaking out at 'Hawks home games even when they are not playing the Wings, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 44 minutes ago, ... said: The pans were leftover or extra pans meant to be used on an auto manufacturing line. Yup. And the pizza really doesn’t share any similarities to Chicago deep dish. Deep dish is practically a casserole. Detroit style is very obviously pizza, but with its own twist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
