This Detroit Style Pizza combines a juicy, fluffy, golden pan base with the distinctive frico cheese crust, known only from a well-oiled baking tray. On top, fruity San Marzano tomatoes shine in vibrant red stripes, while Fior di Latte, Provolone, and spicy Spianata meld into a deeply flavorful, caramelized whole in the heat. Oregano provides the fragrant finishing touch, making every bite hearty, rich, and irresistible.
