Sapore Detroit Pizzeria

We specialize in Detroit-style pizza is a deep-dish rectangular pizza topped with Wisconsin brick cheese and a cooked tomato-based sauce. The dough typically has a higher hydration level than your typical pizza dough, which creates an open, porous, chewy crust with a crisp exterior. Detroit-style pizza was developed in 1946 at Buddy's Rendezvous, a former speakeasy owned by Gus and Anna Guerra located at the corner of Six Mile Road and Conant Street in Detroit. Some claim the original Sicilian-style recipe was based on Anna Guerra's mother's recipe for sfincione. The recipe created a "focaccia-like crust" and baked it in blue steel pans, just like we do today.
