Six Mile and Conant. Gus Guerra, 1946, Sicilian dough in pans that used to live in auto shops. Buddy’s is still there, still cutting squares with a caramelized frico edge that people now fly in for.
If you care about Detroit pizza, you start at the source. The corners are not a garnish. They are the prize.
