Season 5, Episode 6- The Origins of Detroit Style Pizza

from The Detroit History Podcast · host The Detroit History Podcast

Sometime in the mid-1940s, an Italian immigrant bar owner by the name of Gus Guerra started making pizzas in his joint to bring in a few extra dollars. Decades later, Gus's creation is big business, and world-renowned. Detroit Style Pizza is being served up in uber hip places in Brooklyn. The big chains are in on it. And we're giving Chicago a run. We trace the history of the various players as Guerra's creation morphed with the times.  Interviews with Wes Pikula, Steve Dolinsky, Marie Guerra, and Karen Dybis. Audio from the https://www.detroitstylepizza.co/ youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/DSPCtv).
