Detroit-style pizza with creative toppings, vegan options
"In Corktown I visited a corner spot that aims to elevate Detroit-style deep-dish rectangular pizza by using better ingredients and more creativity: the flagship vegan “Big Mack” piles Impossible Burger, vegan mozzarella, Thousand Island dressing, dill pickles, lettuce, and sesame seeds on a caramelized cast-iron crust, while the indulgent Lobster Roll Pizza adds six ounces of wild-caught lobster; crusts are crisped in cast-iron pans and sauces are made from organic Italian tomatoes, all paired with ice cream custard, cocktails, and a come-as-you-are bar vibe." - Wendy Pramik
"Shortly after opening, Grandma Bob’s embraced the Detroit-style pizza, and it quickly became a hit. Choose from options like sausage pistachio or a Hawaiian-style square with chorizo, pineapple, onions, and pickled jalapeño. The restaurant also features plenty of vegan options and rotating specials that tend to sell out quickly. One feature of Grandma Bob’s, is its Spread Dough charity effort, wherein every last Tuesday of each month, a local chef or other member of the city’s food scene is invited to create their own pizza recipe. All profits from the fundraiser go to a charity of that individual’s choice." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Grandma Bob’s serves pizzas with optional gluten-free crust and plenty of vegan options like the Big Mack with Impossible burger crumble, vegan mozzarella, vegan thousand island dressing, pickles, onions, iceberg lettuce, and sesame seeds." - Eater Staff
"I suggest trying Detroit-style pizza at Grandma Bob's, called out as one of the local spots that still bakes the tall, airy square pies in steel pans." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

"A neighborhood pizzeria that hosts a monthly Spread Dough chef-takeover charity series, during which visiting chefs reinvent Detroit-style pizza for good causes; one recent takeover produced the Chilaquizza — a chilaquiles-inspired pie built on a tomatillo-based salsa verde, layers of Muenster and mozzarella, shredded chicken thighs marinated in a salsa rojo, crumbled tortilla chips, and a drizzle of a creamy green salsa — paired with a tamarind-tequila cocktail featuring ginger, orange, apple, and tamarind soda, with proceeds benefiting Make Food Not Waste." - Eater Staff
