Sips & snacks: The top Detroit-style pizza in San Diego

• Square Pizza was the top-ranked restaurant for Detroit-style pizzas in California.

What I ordered: An homage to the Motor City, Detroit-style (aka Detroit Red Top, Detroit Deep Dish) pizzas are named after classic cars.

• The Hellcat (it's new): Wisconsin cheese blend, double pepperoni, Calabrian chilis, fresh basil, grana and a honey drizzle.
• The Dodge: Wisconsin cheese blend, red sauce, spinach, mushrooms, ricotta and garlic.

Details: Detroit-style slices are square and usually have the cheese cooked beneath the sauce, which makes the edges nice and crispy.

Kate's take: I'm glad I have leftovers.

• The crispy and airy crust is thick, but not too dense.
• The tomato sauce was robust, but not overwhelming.
• It's loaded with pepperonis that were perfectly crispy on the edges.
• The veggies had fresh flavor and the dollops of ricotta were oh, so creamy.
• Imported parmesan sprinkled on top … yum.

Cost: $29

Pro tip: Order the chocolate chip cannoli while you're at it.
