I mean... Pontiac is not Detroit so yeah. If you haven't even heard of the original Detroit Pizza, Shield's, then you're not a born and raised Detroiter. You're a born and raised "Pontiacan".
And no, what makes it a Detroit-style pizza isn't just that it's cooked in the square dish (which was originally an oil or drip pan). A classic Detroit-style pizza is cooked in the square, deep dish with the sauce under and on top of the cheese. It's called a red top and the sauce is added in strips. I don't need to take or leave anything. I'm not taking lessons on Detroit pizza from someone who wasn't even born and raised in Detroit.
Edit: This place is worse than Reddit when it comes to people not knowing what the eff they're talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit-style_pizza
"Detroit-style pizza showing typical lacy cheese crust edge and sauce on top"
"Detroit-style pizza showing sauce on top of some of the toppings, lacy cheese crust, and cheese to the edge"
The original pizzas from Buddy's and then Shield's were red tops.
lol sorry I didn't realize you were the official gatekeeper of who/what is or isn't Detroit. I guess I'll just ignore all of the local news networks that refer to my area as metro Detroit and the rest of the world that will say I'm from Detroit and talk to me about Detroit when I point my city out on a map. I'll just take your word for it that I don't belong here since I didn't come from your specific neighborhood.
Not to mention all of the pizza I've had, literally from the first place you personally named as having Detroit-style pizza...
YOU don't have to take or leave or believe anything. Really not sure why you're centering yourself in this conversation like that. Neither the world nor the detroit area revolves around you personally and I'm not about to take food lessons either from someone with their head so comfortably shoved up their own ass...
Why would anyone take you seriously when you can’t even understand that Pontiac and Detroit are two different cities?
Just because people don’t know where Pontiac is doesn’t mean it’s suddenly the same thing as Detroit, especially when we’re discussing food from that specific city.
The only person with their head shoved somewhere is you, buddy. Don’t be clowning about our culture when you have no idea what it even is.
