Detroit Pizza Makes Its New York Debut With Emmy Squared

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

  • Emmy Squared is the new pizza project from Emily and Matt Hyland, who already run the Emily Pizza of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. At Emmy, the menu is all about Detroit pizza, which is unchartered territory in New York
  • So what defines Detroit pizza? It’s square, for one, and has a deep-dish crust that lends itself to a chewier experience than New York pizza. For reference, Detroit-style pizza has a thicker crust than New York, but thinner than Chicago
  • Get familiar with the Midwestern interpretation of pizza with Emmy’s signature pie: mozzarella, banana peppers, onions, ranch, and a side of sauce. If you’re of the opinion that ranch doesn’t belong anywhere near a pizza, you can take that up with Emily herself, who’s a big fan

Downstairs, Matt Hyland is busy making the other thing he’s really good at: burgers. You can get Le Big Matt, a double-patty burger with American cheese, pickles, and sammy sauce on a Tomcat pretzel bun, or the Emmy Burger square pizza, a genius melding of the Hylands’ pizza and burger skills: a square pie with beef, sauteed onions, cornichons, and EMMY sauce
