More often than not, Chicago-style pizza, characterized by deep-dish crust and ample amounts of sauce and toppings, is thought to be the only pizza-related innovation and style of the Midwest. Detroit-style pizza aficionados (and now, Pizza Hut) would kindly ask you to reconsider this notion.

Pizza Hut, the national pizza with locations across the Miami Valley, is now offering customers a chance to indulge in Detroit-style pizza, a relatively new iteration of the typically Midwestern approach to pizza, which features rectangular-shaped pies with a thick, caramelized crust, vine-ripened tomato sauce and plenty of cheese edge to edge. The new style of pizza is a limited-time offer, Pizza Hut officials said in a release on Tuesday, Jan. 26.

Throughout the past year, Pizza Hut has tested out more than 500 different variations of this Detroit-style pizza until settling on what the company determined to be the perfect nod to this Midwestern delicacy.

ā€œCountless hours were spent testing and perfecting every detail here to create our take on Detroit-Style pizza,ā€ David Graves, the chief brand officer of Pizza Hut, said in a release. ā€œThe caramelized cheese crust and the sauce on top take the taste of this pizza to the next level.ā€

The pizza chain will be offering four variations of their Detroit-style pizza, including the Detroit Double Pepperoni, which is topped with 32 slices of regular pepperoni and 48 slices of Crispy Cupped Pepperoni; the Double Cheesy, which is layered with two kinds of cheeses (including aged parmesan); the Meaty Deluxe, loaded with bacon, Italian sausage and Crispy Cupped Pepperoni; and the Supremo, which is topped with Italian sausage, red onions and green bell peppers.

All four of Pizza Hut’s Detroit-Style Pizzas are now available at all locations. For a full list of Pizza Hut locations, and to learn more about this latest menu addition, pay a visit to their website.
