“I was lucky to stumble into a Quad Edge Pizza yesterday. Whoever owns this sole location, the guy (or girl) knows what they are doing. This pizza is addicting. It is clear that the owner is very involved in the business and the craft of pizza making. I grew up with a Nonna and a mother who made their own version of this kind of pizza long before anyone called it “Detroit‑style.” In our house, it was just the typical bread‑based pizza that grandmothers and mothers always seemed to have resting on the counter — thick, airy, saucy, and kissed with olive oil. Some people call it Sicilian pizza, and now it’s described as Detroit‑style. To me, it’s the kind of pizza that not only tastes good but also makes you feel good. The crust is the star: tall, golden, and perfectly aerated, with that signature contrast of crisp edges and a soft, almost buttery interior. It’s the kind of crust that doesn’t just hold toppings — it elevates them. The caramelized cheese crown around the perimeter is textbook, delivering that addictive crunch and chew that makes you slow down and savor each bite. I like this style of pizza wet, and it does not disappoint. Sauce is ladled on with confidence, not caution, and it’s excellent: bright, balanced, and layered with enough depth to stand up to the richness of the dough. This place is genuinely proud of what it serves — and it should be. The attention to detail is obvious. It’s not trying to imitate anyone; it’s simply doing this style of pizza right — with skill, confidence, and heart. If you’re a fan of the style, it’s absolutely worth the trip. If you’re new to it, this is the perfect introduction.”
