Pan & Detroit Deep Dish - Top Pizza Crust Styles

Summary

At Top Pizza each crust is its own pizza family, not an option on one pie. The hand-tossed Pan classics carry homemade Signature Pizza Sauce and 100 percent real mozzarella. The loaded Featured pies are built on the same hand-tossed crust. Detroit Deep Dish, added in 2022, bakes square with its own sauce, mozzarella, and cheddar. Build Your Own comes as a two, three, or four topping Pan pizza or a three-topping Detroit square.

Crust Comes First

At Top Pizza, crust is not a checkbox — it is the pizza’s identity. Louis’ Special only exists as a hand-tossed Pan pie. The Motor City only exists as a Detroit square. Each family is built, sauced, and cheesed its own way, which is why the menu is organized by crust before anything else.

Pan Pizza — The Numbered Classics

The hand-tossed Pan pies are the backbone of the house: the numbered classics our regulars order by number. Each one carries our homemade Signature Pizza Sauce and 100% real mozzarella on fresh-made dough. Pan and Featured pizzas come in three sizes — see the sizes FAQ.

Featured Pizza — The Signature Pies

The Featured board is where the loaded signature pies live — Louis’ Special, Top Special, All Meat, and company. They are Pan pies at heart, stacked heavier and named for the people and stories behind them.

Detroit Deep Dish — The Square Ones

Added in 2022, the Detroit family bakes square and deep: Traditional Red, The Motor City, 8 Mile, and the Sweet & Spicy, known as the Swicy. Detroit pies run their own Pizza Sauce with mozzarella and cheddar — a different build from anything else in the house. Single size, big presence.

Build Your Own

Build Your Own comes on both crusts. On the Pan side it is numbers 26, 27, and 28 on the board: two, three, or four toppings of your choice, in all three sizes. On the Detroit side it is a three-topping deep dish square. Split half-and-half if the table cannot agree. See the Build Your Own tip for how regulars do it.
