The first Detroit-Style Pizza was born with Gus Guerra borrowed some forged-steel pans from local auto plants to make the first square-shaped pizza.  Since that discovery was made 77 years ago and the original Buddy's Pizza was born and several other new brands have come along.

The Detroit-Style pizza is growing outside the border of Michigan with 8 Mile Pi which is virtually based in the Bay Area of California and Canada getting into the Detroit-Style pizza game with 8 Mile Detroit Style Pizza in Toronto. There is another 8 Mile Pizzeria that has opened that is almost 400 miles from Detroit.

If you are hoping to get a slice from 8 Mile Pizza you best be ready for a 6-hour drive from Detroit seeing how it's located at State College at 300 S. Pugh St. I don't think 8 Mile Pizza makes 6-hour deliveries but who knows, you might be able to order one frozen sent through the mail.

Faith in humanity...restored.
