Does anyplace make a Chicago-style spinach and mushroom without tomato sauce? Years ago I used to get one and thought it was from Zachary’s, but theirs has some tomato. I suspect it was Little Chicago, the precursor to Little Star, that made it, so maybe nobody does any more.

8Mileπ, a ghost-kitchen chain. Smog. Not correct for Detroit-sryle, too dense and the crust is chewy rather than crisp.
Just putting this out there - Long Bridge Pizza in the Dogpatch doesn’t get the attention or love that it deserves. I spent a good amount of time out that way during the pandemic, and their pizza is always delicious.
three.one four reopened after just a few days.
Tried the supposed-to-be Detroit-style pie from The Star / Little Star. To my palate it’s closer to “Sicilian” thick crust. Cheese is mozzarella so doesn’t throw off enough butterfat to fry the bottom crust. There is a bunch of chewy / crunchy cheese around the edge, which is not really what Detroit-style is about, though a lot of places seem to think it is. Not bad but I prefer their Chicago-style deep-dish.
