The Take
Order the plain or pepperoni slice at Nate's Detroit Pizza. The 7-year sourdough starter, imported Italian flour and San Marzano tomatoes deliver clean flavor and serious edge crisp without sugar or fillers.
Everything else on the menu piles on distractions that bury the thick steel-pan base and quality beef pepperoni.
The Verdict
Nate's nails the balance of thick, crispy Detroit edges with restrained Italian ingredients that actually taste like something. The olive-oil pans and zero-sugar sauce keep it focused instead of turning into another overloaded slice shop.
Order the plain or pepperoni slice.
Common Questions
What should you avoid at Nate's Detroit Pizza?
Avoid overloaded gimmick pies with hot honey or truffle. They bury the crisp sourdough edge and quality toppings.
Does Nate's Detroit Pizza use seed oils?
No. Thick steel pans get olive oil only for the base.
Is Nate's Detroit Pizza a true Detroit pie?
Mostly. It keeps the thick crispy crust and corner edges but swaps in imported Italian flour and San Marzano tomatoes.
