The 24 Best Pizza Places In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Middle Brow's own pizzeria and brewery space is already on here, but its pizza prowess extends past their Logan Square restaurant all the way to the kitchen at The Beer Temple in Avondale. Their Detroit-style pies still have sourdough in their DNA, this time formed into thick, chewy pizzas with crisp bottoms. It’s the perfect foundation for the layers of molten brick cheese, zippy sauce, caramelized cheese perimeter, and toppings like pepperoni or nduja." - nick allen, adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor

The Best Detroit-Style Pizza Spots In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Middle Brow in Logan Square makes some of our favorite Neapolitan and tavern-style pies, and their pizza prowess extends to the Detroit-style pies they exclusively serve at The Beer Temple in Avondale. Their rectangular pizzas—sorry, ”square pizzas”—have the same sourdough DNA in the form of a thick, chewy crust with a crispy bottom and caramelized cheese crown. They’re richer than their Logan Square pizzas, with a zippier sauce and extra nuttiness from molten brick cheese, plus some punch from toppings like pepperoni or nduja. They also serve slices aside from whole pies, so it’s great for a Detroit-style solo date." - john ringor, nick allen

Chicago’s Best Detroit-Style Pizzas | Eater Chicago

"The Beer Temple is a craft beer bar in Avondale that searched for the ideal partner to provide food service. They teamed with Middle Brow, the beer maker known for its artisanal pizza, and came up with a Detroit-style pizza with a remarkable chassis that has a little bit more funk and sourdough taste (not overpowering) than traditional pies. The dough and ingredients are top notch, and the toppings are traditional with pepperoni cups, sausage, and giardiniera. Tip: There’s an awkward and tiny parking lot behind the bar. Make use of it." - Jeffy Mai
