Voted as one of the top ten places for pizza by the Detroit Free Press in 2009, Cloverleaf is a local favorite. Gus Guerra introduced his recipe for "Detroit Style" deep dish square pizza in 1946. Fans rave about the crispy crust, generous toppings and affordable prices.

Shields is very similar to Buddy's, but their square pizza has its own taste. A lot of TVs to watch the game and great breadsticks. The secret is in the delicious toppings and sauce.

It's the crust. The combination of crispy outside and tender inside is what makes it special. I don't know if it's because of college and drinking beers while enjoying Jet's, but I could swear the crust has a slight taste of beer. Maybe that's part of the secret recipe.
