Detroit Style Pizza Co. Launched After Winning World Pizza Championship
Detroit Style Pizza Co.’s menu features award-winning recipes such as the Tangy BBQ Chicken Pizza, for which Randazzo was named World Champion Pizza Maker of the Year at the 2012 International Pizza Challenge in Las Vegas, as well as the Chicken Caesar Pizza, which was named World’s Best Pizza in the American Pan Division. After winning the competitions, Randazzo and Michaels decided to launch their own pizzeria brand based on their combined 33 years in the business.
Detroit Style Pizza Co. serves three styles of pizza crust: Detroit Style, which has a thick crust and is deck oven-baked in well-seasoned square blue steel pans; Traditional Round Style, which features a selection of flavored crusts; and Old Forge Style, made in the tradition of Pennsylvania’s pizza capital of the world. The pizzeria also offers baked subs, breadsticks, salads, pastas, pepperoni rolls, meatballs, sweetsticks and cheesecake. Specialty pizzas such as the Margarita in the D, the Motor City Meatball and the Motown Meat Supreme lend local Detroit flair to the menu. Gluten-free pizzas are also available.
All Dishes Are Prepared Fresh In-House
Detroit Style Pizza Co. shreds its own brick and mozzarella cheeses, deli slices its own ham, cooks and crumbles its own Applewood smoked bacon and Italian sausage, and uses only Five Star Romaine lettuce and the freshest in-season baby greens in its salads. Premium-quality ingredients are purchased fresh from local Detroit and Michigan producers whenever possible, and of course every pizza features Randazzo’s own World Champion dough recipe and signature red sauce.
“Detroit Style Pizza Co. is all about giving our customers the highest-quality recipes and most delicious, flavorful experience possible,” said Randazzo. “Winning World Champion was an incredible honor, and I’m proud to be able to bring the recipe home to share with my native Metro Detroit area. I hope everyone comes out for the Grand Opening for fun, laughter and a taste of what makes Detroit Style Pizza Co. so great.”
