Detroit-Style Pizza Comes to Brooklyn at Turbo Pizza

Turbo Pizza: A New Culinary Venture

• 💡 Two brothers and their best friend opened Turbo Pizza in Bushwick, Brooklyn, aiming to introduce Detroit-style pizza to the neighborhood.
• 🎯 The concept was born from a desire to create a familiar bar atmosphere with a favorite pizza style that was lacking in the area.

The Art of Detroit-Style Pizza

• 🍕 Turbo Pizza's dough is high hydration, similar to focaccia or Sicilian dough, which is key to its unique texture.
• 🔑 The use of a Lloyd pan is essential for achieving the signature crispy cheese edges characteristic of Detroit-style pizza.
• 🧀 A custom cheese blend is utilized to ensure both flavor and a perfectly crispy crust.

Signature Menu Offerings

• 🌶️ The menu features unique pizzas like the Hawaiian (cheese blend, red sauce, capicola, pineapple, Calabrian chilies) and the Bara Sopada (cheese blend, house red sauce, sopressata, burrata, chili flakes, hot honey).
• 🍸 A standout is the vodka pizza, made with a cheese blend, vodka sauce featuring Misguided Vodka, Calabrian chili, and a tomato blend.
• 🍻 The establishment also serves wings and salads, complementing the pizza offerings.

A "Third Place" in Bushwick

• 💬 Turbo Pizza is described as a "third place" – a comfortable spot outside of home and work where people can gather and socialize.
• 🤝 The owners emphasize a division of labor that allows them to support each other, ensuring a less stressful operation.
• ✨ The goal is to provide a welcoming environment where patrons can enjoy great pizza, drinks, and meaningful social connections.
