Best Detroit Style Pizza: Gold Tooth Tony’s

Chef Anthony Calleo is fully back in the pizza game, this time bringing fat-bottomed Detroit pies to the scene. Fans of Pi Pizza, Calleo’s now-closed truck-turned-brick-and-mortar pie shop, can get a taste of nostalgia via the chef’s signature move of combining traditional Detroit-style staples (buttery brick cheese, sourdough-like crust, chunky marinara) with unexpected knock-your-socks-off flavors. Loosen your belt loop for crispy-edged wonders like the hefty Detroit Supreme, stacked with everything from scratchmade Italian sausage and roasted red peppers to olive salad and roasted maitake mushrooms confit; or The Griz, a chicken-bacon-ranch number charred pineapple, housemade bbq and ranch, and hot honey drizzle.
