Pizza Hut Launches Detroit-Style Pizza Nationwide | Eater

"A national pizza chain has launched a nationwide Detroit-style pizza for a limited time in four varieties, positioning it as distinct from the chain’s existing pan pizza. The offering aims to stay true to traditional Detroit-style characteristics — a square or rectangular deep-dish form with a porous interior, a pan-crisped crust caramelized with cheese, and tomato sauce dolloped on top — and was developed over more than a year with over 500 iterations and a newly formulated tomato sauce. Company leadership framed the move as a response to the style’s rapid growth beyond the Midwest." - Jenny G. Zhang
