Forkelo ranking · Updated October 2026

Best Detroit Pizzas in the South Bay.

5 detroit pizzas across the South Bay, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.

#1

The Pepperoni

Square Pie Guys · Downtown Campbell

$23.50
8.7 Forkelo score Medium confidence

13 dish-specific mentions · 77% positive · 5 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • 48 cupping pepperoni
  • cheddar cheese edge
  • crisp corners
  • airy crust

Forty-eight cupping pepperonis on red sauce, with a cheddar edge fried crisp up the sides of the pan. Airy in the middle, shattering at the corners.

#2

Spicy Pepperoni

Square Pie Guys · Downtown Campbell

$24.50
7.8 Forkelo score Medium confidence

8 dish-specific mentions · 62% positive · 5 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • cupping pepperoni
  • fresh jalapeno
  • spicy ranch
  • shattering edges

Cupping pepperoni and fresh jalapeno under a spicy ranch drizzle, on a soft airy crust with edges that shatter. Enough heat that chili flakes are redundant.

#3

Ellen Supreme

Square Pie Guys · Downtown Campbell

$24.50
7.6 Forkelo score Medium confidence

7 dish-specific mentions · 71% positive · 3 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • cupping pepperoni
  • crispy cheese edge
  • caramelized toppings
  • creamy tomato sauce

Pepperoni, bacon and sun-dried tomato over creamy tomato sauce, baked until the toppings caramelize. Crisp at every edge, and salty enough to want a second person.

#4

Sweet Heat Pineapple

Joyride Pizza · Inside Barebottle Brewing Company

$27.00
7.3 Forkelo score Limited data

5 dish-specific mentions · 60% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • fresh pineapple
  • jalapeno
  • hot honey
  • crisp cheese edge

Fresh pineapple and jalapeno under hot honey on a crisp-edged Detroit square. Sweet, hot and herby all at once, and the shop's most ordered pie.

#5

Fire House Special

8Mileπ Detroit Style Pizza · Downtown / Ruff Dr food plaza

$36.75
6.1 Forkelo score Limited data

7 dish-specific mentions · 71% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • honey drizzle
  • jalapeno
  • brick cheese
  • crisp cheese edge
  • dense slices

Pepperoni, bacon and jalapeno on a thick pan crust with a honey drizzle and cheese crisped to the rim. Sweet against salty, and dense enough to slow you down.

How this ranking works.

Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.

Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked limited data until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
