Detroit Pizza London: Authentic American Deep Dish in Spitalfields

Nestled in the bustling streets of Spitalfields, Detroit Pizza London brings a genuine taste of Motor City to the capital with their exceptional Detroit-style deep dish pizzas. Founded by chef Ryan O'Flynn, this popular spot has quickly established itself as one of London's premier destinations for American pizza enthusiasts.

Signature Dishes Worth Trying

The restaurant's commitment to authenticity is evident in their preparation method - each pizza is baked in traditional blue steel pans, creating the distinctive crispy cheese crust and fluffy center that defines Detroit-style pizza. Their signature Detroit Pizza combines double pepperoni, jalapeños, honey, and parmesan for a perfect balance of heat and sweetness.

The innovative Bacon Double Cheeseburger Pizza has developed a cult following, featuring minced beef, bacon, onions, pickles, American cheese, and burger sauce - delivering the soul of a cheeseburger on a pizza base. Don't miss their Cadillac Pizza with its combination of pepperoni, bacon, banana peppers, and honey drizzle.

Atmosphere and Experience

The Spitalfields location offers a relaxed, casual dining environment with around 20 seats, making it perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner. While the space is compact, the focus is squarely on the food, with generous portion sizes that often surprise first-time visitors - a regular-sized pizza easily feeds 1-2 people.

The restaurant has expanded to a second location in Islington, which also features their famous deep-fried lasagna and a wider menu of Italian-American classics. For sports enthusiasts, their Islington branch includes 'Parts & Labor', an American sports bar located above the restaurant.

Whether you're craving an authentic taste of Detroit or simply looking to experience some of London's most innovative pizza, Detroit Pizza London delivers a memorable American dining experience that stands out in the capital's competitive food scene.
