Just wait until you've heard about the war crime that is Ohio Valley-style pizza
Detroit Pizza has entered the chat:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit-style_pizza
"Detroit-style pizza was originally baked in rectangular steel trays designed for use as automotive drip pans or to hold small industrial parts in factories."
Detroit Pizza is my favorite pizza style. I love a good New York pizza but the toasty favors and tang of detroit style are my favorite by far. I got the special pan to make it, and Charlie Anderson on YouTube has a fantastic recipe.
Came here for this one.
Detroit style is the best, fight me.
Detroit pizza is so fucking good. New York pizza is a greasy flap of falling toppings and Chicagoans will be the first to tell you chicago deep dish is an overrated cheese pool in a piecrust
Chicago's thin crust/tavern pizza is far better than deep dish. That's what they should be promoting.
I never heard of Detroit style but I think it looks very similar to what I would call a baking tray pizza (Blechpizza) in Germany.

They can't just do this! sobbing
They can't just keep getting away with it! crying into a blanket
I do get pretty tired of food snobbery. Try it! You might like it! Worst thing that happens is you don't eat it again.
No no, the way I like it is the way everyone should like it!
I live in Ohio and have no idea what Ohio-valley style Pizza is. Is that a thing? Is this a joke? Am I a joke to you? (I mean, it's justifiable. I live in Ohio after all)
The pizza is known for its distinctive cold toppings which are added after the pizza is cooked. It was nicknamed "The Poor Man's Cheesecake" in the 1940s. In 2018, DiCarlo said he did not remember why the pizza was originally prepared that way but speculated that it may have been to avoid burning the toppings. The style became a part of local cuisine in Ohio and West Virginia, and was replicated by several other chains. However, its method of preparation is polarizing, and it has been negatively compared to Lunchables.
🤣😂🤣
It looks like if an adult was banned from buying Lunchables pizza, but still wanted that same disappointment.
'Colorado' style is basically made in only one chain, Beau Joes, but it's pretty good. Super-sized 'Mountain Crust' eaten with honey.
The only places I’ve heard of that have the balls to speak their names in proximity to NYC and Chicago are Detroit and New Haven, CT.
Detroit Pizza is fucking great, especially with extra sauce and I haven’t had New Haven pizza but have been told it’s too big of a range to say that it’s all good pizza.
This person must be from Chicago if they are describing their tomato casserole as a pizza. If Chicago can have their pizza crime, let others do as they please and get off your high horse.
Let's not even get into how overrated New York pizza is.
I sincerely hope the Italians are asleep and don't see any of the fuckin grease-abortions in this thread 😂
Pizza is a flatbread, not a fuckin coronary
Pizza is a multinational dish made in a variety of places by a variety of people with a variety of recipes.
If the dish never changed, then it doesn't even get tomatoes on it because those were brought to Europe after the first pizza was invented.
Italian food snobbery is the most confusing, since a lot of their key ingredients weren't even brought to the country until comparatively recently.
And it discounts all the actual Italians who left Italy and went other places as not making Italian food.
And also the people in other parts of Italy, since they actually have a lot of different variants on the dish, even in Italy.
Italian snobbery isn't surprising at all, it's a deeply conservative country. Steadfast adherence to cultural norms is the predictable behavior of a state with a strong religious backbone. They won't even stop electing actual fascists (a true Italian invention.)
Italy is weird because their greatest food contributions were created by poor people. Pizza, pasta, and lasagna were created to stretch the tiny amount of meat people could afford.
And almost all of the people who left the country were poor. So the actual creators of the original foods left and their descendants created new varieties. Now the richer descendants who were able to stay in Italy want to say these foods are not "correct".
St. Louis-style pizza is one of the most disgusting things I've ever eaten.
The style has a thin cracker-like crust made without yeast, generally uses Provel cheese, and is cut into squares or rectangles instead of wedges.
...
Provel is a trademark for a combination of three cheeses (provolone, Swiss, and white cheddar) used instead of (or, rarely, in addition to) the mozzarella or provolone common to other styles of pizza.
...
Some of the sauces have a sweetness to them

Oh dear god it's awful.
Trying new things is for LOSERS
All my homies live like the cave-dwellers from Plato's allegory of the cave.
Hell yeah, shadows! All my homies love shadows!
it is more sad when people think that what they eat in NY or Chicago is the real pizza
However, Detroit, Connecticut, Regina, Greek and a few others are excellent.

In Steubenville, Ohio, and other Ohio River towns, local pizzerias dole out square pies covered with piles of cold — uncooked — grated cheese. Known as Ohio Valley-style pizza, these crisp-crust pies come out of the oven with just a coating of tomato sauce and are then covered with fresh cheese and often pepperoni. Each bite is warm, cool and crunchy all at once.
So, someone forgot to put cheese on the pizza before putting it in the oven. Then they took it out and was like "oh shit, I'll just put the cheese on now and hope it melts."
And when they got called out for having cold cheese on warm pizza they were like "yeah, that's how we do it in Ohio. Specifically Ohio Valley. Fuck you, stop asking questions."
Pretty much how half of all new foods are invented.
Wisconsin: I started putting cheese curds on pizza. It's amazing and should become our pizza thing.
We also replaced the tomato sauce with cheese.
And the toppings.
And the dough.
Actually, it's a cheese wheel. Enjoy!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love Pizza Hut. Please don't kill me.
I'm kind of an anti-snob, though. I'll try just about any pizza and enjoy it. Some are certainly better than others, but most of them are pretty great.
Yeah, I know. I'm a philistine.
How do people feel about the places that make quick pizzas to order like Mod and Blaze?
Chicago pizza isn't even good.
It's not even pizza. It's some weird tomato quiche, but definitely not pizza.
Pizza isn't real.
Authentic pizza is just bread, olive oil and cheese. And since that's clearly not pizza, pizza isn't real.
/S
Chicago style pizza is just one dish named pizza created by Italian immigrants. Italians from New York don't have a monopoly on the term, and neither to Italians who never left.
