A “monumental review” for Detroit Pizza London
– Food Review Club
“We have just picked up London’s first – the UK’s first – legit Detroit-style pizza. This guy is exceptional… he’s come from a super high-end culinary background and now he’s doing this. And I’ve got to say I’m flabbergasted. … he’s refined this [pizza] to a whole other level. 10 our of 10!”
…you’ve died and gone to cheese heaven

Detroit Pizza makes the news, in Detroit!
– Click on Detroit
“Detroit pizza quickly started gaining popularity with Londoners and American expats looking for a slice of home. I can tell you, I’ve had Detroit pizza in Detroit, and this is the best, and closest that you will find in London to true Detroit pizza.”
…It looks like a pizza, smells like a burger…
– Infatuation London
“It’s got the fluffy deep-dish base, minced meat, a slice of american cheese per slice, and beautifully distributed pickles, with a very healthy serving of burger sauce on top of all of that. It definitely leans more burger, in a good way.”
…Be warned, they’re filling…
– The Telegraph
“Detroit style, where the dough is focaccia-like in thickness and the toppings are placed before the sauce, is growing, with Detroit Pizza operating two branches in London.“
…a gap in the London market…
– Great British Chefs
“Saucy, crispy and fluffy, Ryan thinks we Brits have partly been won over by the style’s textural similarities to the humble cheese toastie – makes sense to us. Whatever’s behind it, it’s fair to say Detroit style has proved a hit (they’re currently looking to expand to meet demand). “
…best meatball I’ve eaten this year…
– The Financial Times
“They’re a slow grower, a word-of-mouth one,” says chef-founder Ryan O’Flynn of his ricotta-topped balls. “Where before we were selling six to 10 portions a day, now it could be 40 or 50.”
…one of our favourite pizza styles…
– Secret London
“Baked in authentic ‘blue steel’ pans, Detroit Pizza’s wares are almost akin to a pizza-topped focaccia, for the sheer airy doughiness – but we’re gonna argue that they’re 100x better.“
