Dear Tom, Jim and crew, I saw the pizza episode you did ... fantastic … however you forgot the missing link, the big kahuna, and the piesta de resistance. Loui’s Pizza on Dequindre in Hazel Park is an institution, an icon, a destination, and downright must if you're a pizza lover. It's owned by an awesome family. Their loyal employees have been there forever, and the atmosphere will make you a paesano even before you finish your pizza. It’s a tradition for many Michiganders. Please go … you’ll thank me later.

Well, Carl … why don’t I thanks you right now with this:

Now when it comes to the periodic table of pizza, Loui’s stands as Detroit's most substantial. Pound for pound it's the heavyweight of deep-dish pizzas. Heck, this pie is so solid it can knockout your hunger in a single slice.

Yep, Loui’s Pizza on Dequindre Road in Hazel Park is a classic, old school, really cool place you go to when your inner Italian wants out. So, to find out more about how it all started, I sat down for a solid slice with the one and only Nykolas Sulkiwskyj.

Well as you can tell Loui's is an absolute destination you should drive to. But since I'm already here, I guess it's time to eat. So, I napkinned up, hunkered down and dug into some of the best Detroit style pizza I ever did et. And all in an atmosphere that made me feel like Sophia Loren was my sister.

If you want your next pizza to be a complete throwback dining experience you’ll never forget, spend an evening eating at Loui’s Pizza in Hazel Park. And if there's something you want to see on UTR send us an e-mail. That way we'll know where you want us to go. Now if you'll excuse me, I got more pizza to eat.
