Detroit Style Pizza Pans are essential for creating the iconic square, deep-dish pizzas celebrated for their crispy, cheesy crusts. These are designed to avoid the common issues of pitting, rusting, or chipping that were typical with previous cold-rolled steel versions. These pans ensure that pizzas release smoothly without peeling or sticking post-baking.
Traditionally, creating an authentic Detroit Style Pizza required a square steel pan, but these often needed a lengthy break-in period. Now, thanks to Shawn Randazzo’s innovative seasoning process, that break-in period is eliminated, allowing pizzerias to save both time and resources while ensuring a durable pan perfectly suited for this iconic pizza style.
