“A frozen pizza that legitimately rivals Detroit pizzerias. An impossibly airy, chewy focaccia crust flanked by a crunchy, caramelized cheese frico perimeter.”
Detroit style square deep dish pizza with caramelized cheese crust and double pepperoni toppings
Do not bake this pizza on a cookie sheet! The included black pan is engineered to conduct intense dry heat directly from the bottom oven element, turning the bottom crust into golden fried focaccia.
Bake at 425°F for 19-21 minutes inside included pan. Guarantees crispy caramelized frico edges.
Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Remove the pizza from outer cardboard carton and plastic wrapper. Keep the pizza directly inside the included black specialized baking pan.
Place the baking pan directly on the center oven rack. Do not place on a baking sheet, as the pan needs direct hot air circulation underneath to fry the bottom crust.
Bake at 425°F for 19 to 21 minutes. Check that the perimeter cheese is dark caramelized golden brown and the center pepperoni cups have curled with rendered spicy oil.
Allow pizza to rest inside the pan for 3 minutes. Use a metal spatula to slide around the edges—the caramelized cheese will effortlessly release. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 4 corner slices and 1 center square.
Drizzle with a tablespoon of hot honey and scatter torn fresh basil leaves across the sizzling pepperonis.
Sizzling browned Wisconsin cheese, smoky cured pepperoni, and freshly baked yeast dough.
Shatteringly crisp golden bottom, pillow-soft focaccia crumb, and savory pepperoni bite.
Chewy, thick, and satisfying; substantial contrast between crispy perimeter and tender center.
Spiced oregano tomato zing and rich savory olive oil notes.
Most frozen deep dish pizzas are soggy dough bricks with burnt toppings. Motor City's dough achieves a light, airy crumb with cavernous focaccia air pockets. The double pepperoni loading gives you flat savory slices across the cheese bed and thick cup-and-char pepperoni that curls up into crisp grease chalices in the oven.
I grew up in Detroit eating Buddy's. This is the only supermarket frozen pizza that nails the cheese perimeter crust.

Score: 98Indistinguishable from homemade Italian trattoria lasagna. Slow-simmered beef, sweet Italian sausage, and whole-milk ricotta create an undisputed freezer masterpiece.
Score: 99The gold standard of grocery ice cream. A luxurious French custard base loaded with shatteringly crisp house-made caramel honeycomb crunch.
Score: 96Fluffy cage-free scrambled eggs, sage-spiced sausage, and sharp cheddar wrapped in an unbleached flour tortilla that never turns soggy.
