Craving Pizza? These American Cities Have the Best

3. Detroit

The Motor City is passionate about pizza—many pizzerias cater to residents (you'll find one every mile and a half) and it's not just Domino's. There are loads of independent mom-and-pop stores. Popular pizza types include BBQ chicken pizza, taco pizza, and the city's signature pie. Rectangular Detroit-style pan pizza is inspired by Sicily but has thick dough, crispy bottoms, and extra cheesy corners made from tangy Wisconsin brick cheese. Buddy's Pizza baked it first and there's an urban myth that the distinctive crust was achieved by using trays meant to hold automobile parts—you'll have to ask the folks at Buddy's what they think about that. Pepperoni pizzas are also relatively cheap in the city, which is something else to sing about in Motown. Try the Papalis Gourmet at PizzaPapalis.
