Hi! Were Detroit Pizza Depot - a new pizza company founded by three dudes from Michigan. We’re on a mission to share Detroit-Style Pizza with the world. It all started in the late 1940s. After returning home from WW2, a group of Detroit autoworkers tried recreating focaccia bread theyd discovered in Italy. But there was a problem: they didnt have any square-shaped pans to form the dough. So they used oil pans from the factory they worked. What popped out wasnt quite focaccia bread, but a unique take on the classic Sicilian recipe. Its known today as Detroit-Style Pizza. This style of pizza - defined by its crispy edges & hearty substance - is prevalent in Michigan & parts of the Midwest, but difficult to find elsewhere. We exist to change that, & we want to promote Detroits culture of resilience & innovation along the way. We can’t wait to share a slice of the Motor City with you.
