An Ooni Pizza Steel 13 is our trick to making a great Detroit-style pizza in your home oven. The pre-heated Steel gives the bottom of this pan pizza an impressively-browned crust, keeps the edges of the pizza wonderfully cheesy and the sauce bubbly and delicious.
Detroit-style pizza hails from the Midwest and traditionally relies on a brick cheese from Wisconsin that’s known to melt and crisp up quite well. If you can’t find that in your area, white cheddar or low-moisture mozzarella are great substitutes. With this recipe, the one thing you shouldn’t skimp on is time — an overnight rest will give your pizza a depth of flavor that’s tough to achieve in a few hours.
