ABOUT DETROIT PIZZA LONDON:
In 2020, when London – a global food capital – locked down, Detroit Pizza London came to life. The concept was born out of necessity. During this time of uncertainty and confusion, we had a nostalgic feeling, a yearning for home… and that’s how Detroit pizza London started.
When we first opened, Detroit Pizza was trading out of a literal hole-in-the-wall in a network rail graveyard in Battersea. Customers picked up their orders through a dark sketchy alleyway, but still, after a few weeks, queues started to form. People were coming for their fix of the most unique pizza in town.
Having an entire pandemic to focus on dough, hydration, and fermentation while mastering the perfect marinara is what elevates us into the new world of Detroit-style pizzas and the American experience.
