There is a science to the perfect pizza. It requires the exact amount of cheese, toppings, and let’s not forget even cooking time of the crust. Pizza is not created equal, the crust has to be fluffy enough yet strong enough to withstand the perfect amount of veggies to meat equivalent. Metro Detroit has some of the best pizza pie around.
