Detroit-Style Pizza with a Japanese Twist 

i've had corn on pizza only once, but it was super good so i definitely should try this out sometime.

This is genuinely the most accurate recreation of true Detroit-style pizza (Buddy’s) I’ve seen on the Internet to date.

The sound of that pizza out of the pan. Oh Hell Yeah

Yum! I also love a good mentaiko pasta too!

Native Detroiter here. Thank you so much for talking about the history/traditions behind our pizza. It’s been amazing seeing one of my favorite foods from home get more and more talked about every year. 🥹

I make detroit style 2-3 times a month in an 8x8 brownie pan for 2 people(usually with a leftover slice) 140g bread flour 100g water 1t yeast 1t salt thats it If you're lazy like me an old bread machine is great for kneading a small amount of dough like this. I put the kneaded dough in a covered container and then on a seed starting heating pad to keep it warm. Maybe a heating pad on "warm" setting would be similar? In the summer its already warm so you don't have to worry. After about 30 minutes the dough is doubled. I put a bunch of olive oil in the brownie pan. Similar to making focaccia. And then add the dough to the brownie pan and spread it out like in this video. Cover the pan and then let it rise again on the heating pad for about 30 mins and it will puff up. Set oven to 550 and turn it down to 450 when you add the pizza and bake for 12 or 13 minutes. Sauce should be ~4oz cheese should be ~ 5oz. We just finished eating one like an our ago, I make pizza most saturdays. This pizza seems to work a little better with unconventional cheese if you want to try something different like medium cheddar or colby jack etc. I end up using leftover cheese chunks a lot. Todays pizza was bacon, chicken, bell pepper, onion, mushroom and black olive. Cheese was 1oz(1 slice) provolone around the edge to brown the crust and 4oz full fat low moisture mozz for the middle. A+

That dough looks insanely good

Dude is charismatic as hell. Pizza looks amazing too.

Finally, someone in a pizza making video says the most important thing about making pizza: leave the dough for 3 days (3-5 days is fine). I'm not a huge fan of deeper dish pizzas, but this definitely looks good, and it'll piss off Italian purists, too, which is a bonus.

Saw the title, instant click. 313 Represent and love seeing how Detroit pizza is growing. Bought time !!!

When that pie came out of the oven? Sold.

holy shit, i didn't expect this before it all came together. interesting stuff

Damn we need more videos from Fukushima! disappointed you guys didn't pan to his Kewpie mayo mascot tattoo on h is forearm when he said he loved mayo!

Damn that looks awesome

As someone who was born and has lived in Detroit my whole life, this is an excellent and innovative take on a Detroit Style pizza. Props to ya, Mr Fukushima!

Next time I'm in DC, this is a must eat.

Oooooooooohhhhh!!! I need to try!! 🤤

Wait, Eater released a pizza video today too lol. Both videos included Detroit style pizza.

Awesome pizza Not the first time you guys beat an industry in Detroit!

I know what I’m making for dinner tonight hopefully it will turn out fine without waiting three days for the dough

Wow corn sauce for a pizza. That's original and definitely worth trying. Incredible looking pizza.

Tonari has a crazy good Clam Pizza that you have to try if you are in DC

wow 14oz dough ball for Detroit is a lot. Normally we use 10oz @ the recommended 75% hydration, not 62% but it looks very delish! gonna add this to our menu!

More DC restaurants plzzzz

as a lifelong detroiter, i give my seal of approval 👍👍👍

Hell yeah!

Insane stuff 🤤🤤🤤✨✨✨🔥💣

Maybe I missed it... but why separate the corn from the liquid, just to combine them again in the blender?

Looks fcking delicious I’d pay $25 for this special pizza Cheers from San Diego California

When he first opened Tonari in 2020 it was amazing. The pizza looked actually like this and it was some of the best Detroit I've had. Then they closed due to the world issues. They reopened last year and i've been numerous times since. The pizza hasn't been the same since which is a shame. They now have a local bakery make all their dough. It's nowhere near as good as it was, on top of being inconsistent.

hell yeah. mentaiko mayo is also bad ass dip for potatos, baked, fried or whatever.

Nice 👍

Love the Pizza Hut jacket!

8:57 🤣🔥🔥

Uncle Iroh got moves

Oh my God, Jefe. I miss you, Kats. Next time you come to Vegas I will make you pizza

This looks awesome. And what is that watch he’s wearing? Anyone know?

Corn pizza is underrated

What is the name of the style between detroit and normal? like, not as thick as detroit, but a bit fluffier than pan-pizza.

That pizza looks great but those MOVES are excellent

He reminds me of an older hikaru nakarmura

What’s the first thing that goes in the finishing sauce before the Mayo???

That track jacket is the topping.

So waluigi is just japanese style Luigi okay got it

Whats that stuff he mixed with mayo ? He said Lavne but cant find it on google

Only time you’ll ever see a pizza cook wearing Louie Vuitton while cooking

🍕🤘🏼

I like potatoes on my pizza. Real authentic

Looks delicious. But why do you have to strain the corn first, when you add the liquid and corn togethet in the blender? Couldve just put everything in the blender from the beginning, no?

Imagine a quantidade de sujeira que juntou no anel do cidadão

Good GOD 😳😛

i just love the fact that this half japanese, half hawaiin alpha of a man, is wearing a hat that says pizza! I love it.

Japanese style Detroit pizza from DC. Can it get any more multicultural than that in America?

Thank you Chef for the instructional recipe. You lost me at the cod roe but otherwise I love all of the toppings. A refreshing change to the same old same old.

the dancing though...

7:36 😍

He lost me with the corn, but that dough was delightful 💎

He looks like the Japanese version of spike lee

3 days!

This looks delicious but furthest from what I would imagine as a pizza haha

Bboy Katsuya !?!

it realy seems like japanese are and have taken stuff from other cultures and make it better. food ofc, but think of denim, Nigo and his stuff and Americana too

I was expecting sushi and wasabi on pizza

That’s a unique twist to cornbread 😅

Rice oil.???

Looks weird af, but I would try it

That's a lot of corm

DC

That's a focaccia.

Thats a bread boat

Hahaha, whatever man. ^_^

hes cute

I'm from Detroit and sorry that's not pizza bro

For being the origin of Detroit style pizza I feel like most actual pizza in Detroit sucks and within the actual Detroit style there is zero innovation like this happening. It's weird to go to all these Detroit style places out of Detroit that for the most part all have better pizza than actually in Detroit.

Nice cake bro

That was not a wet dough.

For the ones who reads this just know this is only the beginning keep pushing, grinding, and fighting. Whatever it is in life you want to do to go after it life is to short. Life is a marathon not a sprint so go out there and live it up I hope all is well and goes well for you peace and one love! ✌🏽

For me, this is as close to pizza, as I am close to becoming an astronaut...Plot twist, I'm a carpenter 😅

I'm Japanese, but consider this dish to be a desecration of Italian cuisine or pizza, if you call this dish ' Pizza '. Regardless of whether you call it Japanese style or not, this dish should not be called pizza. In other words, this is your original dish that has nothing to do with genuine pizza.

elote pizza ?

Stretching dough is not hard my dude…. Practice. That said, pies look 😍

I love me some Japanese food, but I don’t know about this. It’s just so monotone. I’d certainly try it

Stick with what you know.

You're selling Japanese Dominos, Pizzala to gaijin, I respect your hustle.

1st

detroit cornbread. nice.

Italy has to declare war to Japan after this video

This looks delicious! But as a New Jersey native, I'm requesting: Please do not call this "pizza".

Bye bye danya bye bye

If you are a Japanese chef, take off the ring first.

I've been living in Japan 3 years now. Love a lot of the food. But I do not fuck with mentaiko at all, or with corn on my pizza. The state of pizza in this country is a national emergency imo. Though this one looks better because it's got the American (Detroit) methods fused in

Not pizza.

I’m sure it tastes good it has great ingredients. But it’s not pizza.

Only thing that looks good is the dough

Delicious - but not a pizza! 🤌

Ehh...next!

ima pass, that is 90% heavy chewy dough and 10% toppings, what a joke.

Yo that ain't pizza

Too much dough... Looks kinda gross but thanks for sharing

where is the fckin pizza?
