    If any of you guys happen to go to Cambodia there is this pizza shop in the capital city of Phnom Penh called "Happy Pizza"... By request you can ask the waiter to add an extra happy spices (mar1juana) as a topping and you will be blasted by the next hour.. I had the Hawaiian pizza with extra happy and I'll tell yah, I couldn't even walk or see straight, but the pizza was damn good though...

    Would you have even known if the pizza really tasted good or not? Could have been painted cardboard as long as it had the extra happy spices.

    Barry's Pizza is a fantastic pizza establishment, particularly when I was a younger man. After an afternoon at Bodyworks, I would head accross the street to Barry's for a nice slice of hamburger pizza.

    I tried the new Dominoes pizza yesterday, and it does taste better than Papa Johns or Pizza Hut. They made the crust more garlicky and buttery, and they increased the flavor and spice in the sauce.

    I agree that the new Dominoes is a vast improvement. It was actually pretty good for chain-delivered pizza.

    Buddy's Pizza in Detroit is pretty awesome.

    I never knew that there was a Detroit style of pizza until I moved here.

    Detroit-style pizza is a style of pizza, developed in Detroit. It is a square pizza, with a thick deep-dish crust with toppings placed under the sauce.
    The crust of a Detroit-style pizza is especially noteworthy in that, in addition to occasionally being twice-baked, it is baked to a chewy medium-well-done state, and many parlors will apply melted butter with a soft brush prior to baking. Some chains, such as Hungry Howie’s (founded in Taylor, Michigan), are also known for their flavored crusts. Popular crust flavors include sesame, butter, garlic and onion.[1]

    The origins of "Detroit-style" pizza are from local Detroit pizzeria, Cloverleaf Pizza, which developed and began serving their signature pizza in 1946.[citation needed] Cloverleaf founder Gus Guerra went on to found Buddy's Pizza, which is one of the Detroit chains that serves Detroit-style pizza. In 2009, Buddy's Detroit-style square pizza was singled out as one of the 25 best pizzas in America by GQ magazine food critic, Alan Richman.[2] Other chains that serve Detroit-style pizza include Loui's Pizza, Cottage Inn and Shield's Pizza. Despite its Detroit origins, it is rarely referred to as "Detroit-style" pizza in Metro Detroit.[citation needed] Locally it is more often simply called either square, Sicilian or deep-dish pizza.[citation needed] Nikki's in Detroit and the Gathering Place, and Marinelli's, both in Troy, Michigan, also serve Detroit-style pizza. The pizza at these restaurants is square or rectangular, with a thick crust, having edges made crispy by carmelized cheese.

    The Detroit area is also known as the headquarters of some of the largest pizza chains in the United States like Hungry Howie's Pizza, Domino's Pizza and Little Caesars. Although none of those chains specializes in Detroit-style pizza, Little Caesars does sell a square deep dish pizza and offers sauce with it that can be applied on top of the pizza by the customer for the traditional Detroit-style.

    I also never knew so many pizza chains were headquartered here.

    It's terrible. I had it at a party yesterday for the first time.

    As far as chains go...Gatti's by a MILE

    However, they closed the Rice Village location and won't deliver to my house anymore :mad:

    I guess I'm re-bumping an old thread.

    No, I don't. I'm a sucker for good thin-crust pizza, and I've had nothing better than Star outside Philly (I've never eaten pizza in NYC). The Tomato in Denton was pretty close, but it's long gone. Fire does that.

    If you are a huge thin-crust fan...you have to try the pizza at Kenneally's on Shepherd. Best thin crust in town, IMHO
