About Detroit style cheese pizza

Detroit Style Cheese Pizza originates from Detroit, Michigan, and is a rectangular deep-dish pizza known for its thick, chewy crust that's both soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Its defining feature is the unique preparation method where the cheese is spread edge-to-edge, creating a caramelized crust. Traditionally, brick cheese is used, and the sweet tomato sauce is ladled on top of the cheese rather than underneath. Common toppings include pepperoni, vegetables, and olives, though variations abound. While rich in flavor and satisfying, Detroit style pizza is calorie-dense due to its thick dough, generous cheese layer, and toppings. It’s high in carbohydrates and fats, but also provides protein from the cheese and toppings, along with some vitamins and minerals depending on added ingredients. Consuming in moderation as part of a balanced diet can allow enjoyment without sacrificing overall nutrition.
