Event Details

With its airy crust, cheesy corners and distinctive red sauce on top, Detroit-style pizza is enjoyed worldwide. How did this Motor City delicacy evolve from a single kitchen in Detroit to an international sensation? Author Karen Dybis will take you on a trip through this pizza's humble origins, starting with Gus Guerra putting the first square pie in a Buddy's oven, to the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas where a pizza evangelist spread the word about Detroit-style, through the waves of chefs who have put their spin on this unique pizza. Then take a blind taste-test of several Detroit-style pizza faves and vote for the tastiest!
