Services Detroit Style Pizza

Since opening its doors in Greektown in 1986, PizzaPapalis has become a Detroit institution, known for its iconic deep dish pizza that locals and visitors crave.

With a buttery, crunchy crust, layers of premium cheese, and rich tomato sauce ladled on top, PizzaPapalis delivers a true Detroit-style experience—one that’s as bold and unforgettable as the city itself.

Detroit style pizza is known for its thick, rectangular crust that’s light and airy on the inside, but crisp and caramelized on the edges. The cheese is layered all the way to the edge of the pan, creating that signature golden-brown crust that fans can't get enough of. The sauce is typically spread on top, rather than underneath the cheese, giving it a unique texture and flavor profile.

And at PizzaPapalis, this classic Motor City favorite is taken to the next level.

PizzaPapalis uses a handmade dough that’s proofed for over 24 hours, giving the crust its iconic depth and texture. Every Detroit style pizza is baked in traditional steel pans, just like the original version created in the city decades ago.

What really sets PizzaPapalis apart is the quality of the ingredients. From the vine-ripened tomato sauce to the Wisconsin cheese and generous toppings, every bite is packed with flavor.
