Detroit-style pizza with crispy, buttery crusts
"From the minds behind Cane Rosso and Zoli’s comes Thunderbird Pizza. This pizzeria serves Detroit-style pies, which feature Wisconsin brick cheese layered edge-to-edge on the buttery, crispy, chewy crust. The spot has come down firmly in the pro-pineapple-on-pizza category, so try the Island Boi if that’s your jam. It also has the beloved Honey Bastard pie, featuring Canadian bacon, red onions, jalapeños, bacon, and habanero honey. Regulars know that Thunderbird slings a new pizza special every month, so it’s worth keeping in frequent rotation. The wine and draft beer selection is limited, but there are also frozen margaritas. The interior design isn’t exactly a mood; it is muted and industrial, leading more people to order takeout than dine in. There is an ice cream counter, however, so bring the kids and get a scoop after pizza. Vibe check: Don’t take a date here. Don’t bring your parents here. Order takeout — Detroit-style pies travel well." - Courtney E. Smith
"There’s only one kind of pizza to go for in East Dallas: the Detroit deep dish with crispy edges at Thunderbird Pies. It’s greasy, it’s cheesy, it’s from the folks at Cane Rosso so there are also some oddball options in addition to everything one expects. The vibe is ‘80s retro arcade and its small inside, so most folks take it to go." - Courtney E. Smith

"Thunderbird Pies makes irresistible pies with a cheese-coated, crispy crust in the deep dish Detroit style. It’s like biting into the most delicious pillow ever, but with pepperoni and cheese so perfectly browned and savory that one may find it impossible to return to any other style of pizza." - Courtney E. Smith
