Story

What Makes Our Detroit-Style Pizza So Genius?

The inspiration for this particular pie came from American troops returning from Europe after World War II, who began clamoring for the deep-dish pizza they’d fallen in love with overseas. Word got round to Detroit’s Gus Guerra, owner of Buddy’s Rendezvous, a Prohibition-era speakeasy (locally called a “blind pig”), who answered the demand by using his Sicilian wife Anna’s family dough recipe to create an entirely new pizza variety – one boasting a thick, moist crust layered with pepperoni and made crispy around the edges by an infusion of baked cheese, and then finished with seasoned tomato sauce on top, where it could hit the taste-buds like the allied troops storming the shores of Normandy. This Motor City marvel caught on like wildfire and Gus began offering this coveted pizza variety, which he baked in the square steel pans used as parts trays by the city’s booming automotive industry. In fact, similar steel pans are still used today.

It’s All About Choices, Baby!

Of course Pi-Squared honors the brilliance of the authentic Detroit recipe as a true classic, but we were also inspired to revolutionize our menu by offering a Big Bang of choices you won’t find anywhere else – intriguing artisan combinations like our sauceless Pi with roasted potato, kale, bacon and olive oil and our Fig-Et About It Pi with Mission figs, gorgonzola, olive oil, red pepper seeds and honey drizzle. We also have round traditional crust and thin cracker-crust – every one of our delicious Pi’s can be made exactly as you want it. In our world, there’s room for thick and thin, bold and subtle, modern and classic – we only insist that every piping-hot Pi is made fresh daily with high-quality, nutritious ingredients, making eating intelligently a no-brainer.

What’s in a Name?

If you round the number for Pi (3.14159265359), you get 3.14, which also happens to be Einstein’s birthday, March 14. Combine the inherent braininess of Pi with the square shape of our pizza and you get Pi-Squared, a name paying homage to both the form and function of our recipes. We’re the smart choice because we utilize only superior-quality ingredients including fresh, handmade dough, all-natural, finest-quality mozzarella and Italian cheeses, and organic local produce whenever available. Our ingredients are both delectable to the palette and sensible to the mind and body, making our “Pi’s” works of pure genius.
