A slice of Detroit in the Steel City

• Each slice has irresistibly crispy, caramelized cheese edges that contrast with its soft, chewy center. Tangy tomato sauce is drizzled on top.

The vibe: The Strip restaurant offers a casual dine-in experience, but fills up fast on nights and weekends.

• The pizzeria has a second location in Millvale.

What to order: A classic pie with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil.

• If you're feeling adventurous, try the pickle pizza.

Cost: $17 for a small, one-topping

Where: 1806 Smallman St. in the Strip (dine-in and takeout) and 413 Grant Ave. in Millvale (takeout only)

Zoom out: More Detroit-style pizza joints in Pittsburgh are Driven at the Federal Galley and Jet's Pizza in Dormont.

Six-word review: Hearty, indulgent with a killer crunch
