The Best Pizzerias for Detroit-Style Pizza in and Around Boston | Eater Boston

"At Avenue Kitchen & Bar in Somerville — opened in June 2019 by chef-owner Kenny Schweizer — the Detroit-style pizza has introduced many diners to the style, and Schweizer says locals who grew up in Detroit have given the restaurant a thumbs-up; he drew on his pan-pizza background from growing up near Utica and using a dough recipe he learned working at DeFazio’s, and Avenue’s menu pairs those Detroit squares with other comfort food (and options like vegan cheese), offering pies such as the chef’s choice (red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, broccoli rabe, and ricotta) and a beef barbacoa with braised short rib and pico de gallo." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
