Discover the Delicious Twist: Butter Chicken Detroit-Style Deep Dish Pizza!
When you think of Detroit, the first thing that might come to mind is Motown, classic cars, or maybe even its rich industrial history. But what if I told you that Detroit is also home to one of the most unique and scrumptious styles of pizza? Enter the Detroit-style deep dish pizza. Now, let’s give this beloved classic a twist that will take your taste buds on an international journey—Butter Chicken Detroit-Style Deep Dish Pizza!
A Fusion of Flavors
Imagine a rich, buttery crust, baked to perfection in a deep, square pan, with edges so crispy they could steal the spotlight. Now, layer that with a mouthwatering blend of peppers, red onions, crumbled paneer, and spicy three-pepper cheese. The star of the show? A luscious, flavorful butter chicken sauce that’s 100% vegetarian, thanks to Tasty Bite’s incredible sauce, which makes this fusion pizza both convenient and delightful.
Homemade Pizza Dough Magic
Let’s start with the foundation of any great pizza: the dough. Making your own pizza dough might seem intimidating, but it’s easier than you think and totally worth it. There’s something magical about the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through your kitchen. Plus, it gives you bragging rights!
Tasty Bite Butter Chicken Sauce: The Shortcut We All Need
Why spend hours simmering sauce when you can take a tasty shortcut? Tasty Bite’s Butter Chicken Sauce is packed with rich flavors, spices, and a velvety texture that perfectly complements our Detroit-style pizza. Even though this sauce is vegetarian, it doesn’t skimp on the authentic taste. And for those who prefer the traditional route, you can always add chicken. But here, we’re keeping it vegetarian-friendly with paneer, an Indian cheese that soaks up all the deliciousness.
Let’s Talk Toppings
Peppers and Red Onions: These veggies add a delightful crunch and a burst of color, making our pizza not just tasty but visually appealing.
Crumbled Paneer: This Indian cheese is the perfect meat substitute, providing a rich texture and absorbing the flavorful butter chicken sauce.
Spicy Three-Pepper Cheese: A cheese blend that adds a kick, bringing a tantalizing heat to every bite.
Baking Perfection
The magic of Detroit-style pizza lies in its baking method. The deep dish pan creates a crispy, caramelized crust that’s unlike any other. As the pizza bakes, the cheese melts and bubbles, creating those iconic crispy edges. The butter chicken sauce seeps into the dough, infusing every bite with rich, aromatic flavors.
A Pizza Experience Like No Other
Detroit-style deep dish pizza is already a standout, but with the butter chicken twist, it becomes a culinary masterpiece. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner, a fun weekend project, or an impressive dish for your next gathering. The fusion of Indian and American flavors will surprise and delight your friends and family.

Add the dough to the pan and start to stretch it out from the inside to the edges until you have a large rectangular dough that fills up the pan.
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Add 2 tbsp of tasty bite sauce, layer with sliced spicy cheese and peppers and onions. Sprinkle on the grated Colby jack cheese and add jalapeños to the top along with few rows of the tasty bite sauce.
