A square slice of Detroit-style pizza topped with cup-and-char pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers, lifted on a spatula.

Penfield · Rochester, NY

Detroit-style pizza with edges worth fighting over.

Thick, airy crust. Cheese caramelized right up the side of the pan. Pasta cut fresh down the street. Order at the counter — we'll bring it to your table.

Stacked blue-steel Detroit pizza pans holding dough as it proofs on a stainless prep counter.

Why the edges matter

It starts in the pan.

Detroit-style isn't deep dish. The dough is slack and wet, and it proofs in a seasoned steel pan until it's more air than flour. That's where the crumb comes from — light enough that a thick square doesn't sit heavy.

Then we push cheese all the way to the wall of the pan. It hits the hot steel, fries, and turns into a crackling caramelized rail around every slice. Sauce, basil oil and parmesan go on under the house mozzarella blend — every square gets the full build, right to the corner.

The pasta comes from The Pasta Shoppe — spaghetti, canestri, ricotta gnocchi and ravioli, all cut fresh. The meatballs, cutlets, pesto and dressings are ours, made here.
