"The Slice Mob hit Zephyr’s Street Pizza… and left absolutely sauced (in the best way). Tucked behind a busy street, Zephyr’s is the kind of spot you don’t just find β€” you uncover. Plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and a vibe that screams: underground music venue meets gourmet pizza lab. Inside? Tin ceilings, local art, and an open kitchen firing off pies like it’s rock β€˜n roll night. It’s cool without trying, hip without the ego, and absolutely stacked with pizza that slaps. I went classic and spicy β€” because balance. First up: The Kurt. 16 inches of crispy, pillowy, garlic-laced, parm-showered perfection. That dough? Flavorful and airy. The sauce? Sweet, acidic, and seasoned like it came from Nonna’s secret playbook. Basil. Olive oil. Harmonious AF. Then came The Zesty ’Nduja. Same dreamy dough, this time slathered in spicy, spreadable salami. Add goat cheese (for the tang) and mozz (for the smooth talk), pepperoncini for the bite, and honey sriracha for the sweet heat. Flavor. Bomb. The rest of the Mob devoured pies like Street Corn, Truffle Honey, and Four Queso β€” and all I heard was β€œMmm,” β€œYo,” and β€œHoly…” (you get the idea). Bonus: Dante β€” owner, pizza wizard, and all-around good guy β€” came out for a quick chat and a photo. Total class act. Bottom line? Go to Zephyr’s. Come for the vibe. Stay for the crust. Leave with a new favorite pizza. Slice Mob Approved."

"Zephyr is a hidden gem of a pizza spot. It should be better known and getting a lot more love. As soon as you open the door you're hit with the wonderful smell of their pizzas. They have a diverse mix of pizzas and use quality ingredients. Pricing is good and portions are large. Even their individual slices are large and delicious. My kids have now dubbed Zephyr our new official Pizzeria. There is a small seating area inside the Pizzeria and some umbrella tables outside. There's also a paid parking lot (WeHa πŸ€¦πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ) and three 15 minutes pickup/drop off spots right by the entrance."

"I wish I could give this spot more stars. Really accomidating. You can tell the manager really cares about the comfort and satisfaction of his customers. Pizza was delish! We got 2 pies for 4 people and it was enough (with some leftovers)! Salad was fresh too. Ambiance is nice and cozy. This stop along our trip throughout New England was a nice one. Thank you Zephyrs β™‘"

Detroit-Style Pizza: A Caramelized Crust Delight

Detroit-style pizza, characterized by its rectangular shape and thick, airy crust, owes its unique texture to baking in rectangular steel pans originally used for holding small auto parts. This style's signature feature is its crispy, caramelized cheese edges, created by scattering cheese all the way to the pan's sides. This adaptation highlights the innovative spirit of American pizza-making, turning industrial tools into culinary treasures.
