Question: In classic Motor City fashion, a Detroit dish invented in 1946 owes its shape and crispy edges to heavy steel pans repurposed from the auto industry. What is it?

Answer: Detroit-style pizza. First baked at Buddy’s in blue steel trays that Detroit auto workers used to hold parts, the rectangular pie became known for its thick crust and crispy, caramelized cheese edges.
