Good to see the City is getting some positive publicity. Unfortunately you need to subscribe to the Wall Street journal to read the article...

Buddy's hits the Wall Street Journal again, in a page 1 story from January 29: www.wsj.com/articles/is-america-ready-for-detroit-style-pizza-some-people-dont-know-what-it-is-11611853467?mod=searchresults_pos1&page=1For those who can't get through the pay wall, a couple excerpts: Pizza Hut Launches ‘Detroit-Style’ Pizza, and America Says ‘Huh?’ Michigan is home to the country’s biggest pizza chains, except for the one that launched the square pie with a diagram for novicesThis week, Pizza Hut launched its new Detroit-style pizza.
There’s just one problem: A lot of people have no clue what that is.
“Detroit style? I’ve never heard of it,” said Mike Zurek, 70, who has lived in Chicago nearly all his life. For him, there is only one deep-dish pizza: Chicago style. “But every place has its way of making it unique.”Goes with FaygoEven some Detroiters are a bit puzzled. Karen Gunderson stopped by a Pizza Hut in suburban Detroit this week to pick up a stuffed-crust pie. She had seen on the news that the pizza-making chain was rolling out a Detroit-style version but wasn’t quite sure what to make of it.
“I’m not really familiar with Detroit style,” said Ms. Gunderson, 72, who grew up in the area and has lived there most of her life. She is open to trying Pizza Hut’s newest creation, and hopes it’s as good as its signature stuffed crust.
Despite the fuzziness around the Detroit-style concept, Pizza Hut’s bet is the latest sign that the Motor City’s contribution to the Italian flatbread staple is having its moment.
...
The style is credited to immigrant Gus Guerra and his wife, Anna, who took a square, steel tray used on automotive assembly lines to create a deep-dish pizza at his east-side bar, Buddy’s Rendezvous, in 1946. That evolved into Buddy’s Pizza, which today operates 19 restaurants in Michigan. Mr. Guerra eventually sold the original Buddy’s and bought the Cloverleaf Bar & Restaurant, which remains another Detroit-style staple with multiple locations in Michigan.If you can get through the paywall, the article is accompanied by a photo of the original Buddy's, and another of the original Buddy's kitchen staff.
