Lost in the Pond delivers 'British Verdict on the Detroit-Style Pizza' for Detroit-Style Pizza Day

Happy National Detroit-Style Pizza Day! I'm continuing last year's theme of Brits try Detroit Pizza for Detroit-style Pizza Day with Lost in the Pond delivering British Verdict on the Detroit-Style Pizza.

I gave you my verdict on the New York and Chicago style pizzas, now it's time for something in between. Here's my verdict on Michigan's own, Detroit-Style Pizza. But how many Lorenzos did I give it?
I'd give it more than four, but I live in metro Detroit.

Laurence recorded and posted the above video on National Pizza Day 2020, more than a year before the first National Detroit-Style Pizza Day, so can be forgiven for not recording on the right day. It didn't exist yet! As he and his wife Tarah mentioned, he also reviewed New York and Chicago pizza. Here's the first of the two, A Brit's Verdict on Chicago-style Pizza.

After the controversy surrounding Jelly-gate, I thought I'd try an American food item closer to home: a Chicago-style pizza.
Well, at least I know what Jelly-gate was about. Also, this video lacks something — two things, actually, Lawrence's sing-song, self-mocking delivery that is on display in his more recent videos, like 'Let's Talk About America's Iconic Bald Eagle' and Tarah. She's in the next video, British Verdict on America's New York-style Pizza, recorded during National Pizza Week 2020.

Since it's National Pizza Week, it only seems right that I present to the world–with the help of Old Fashioned Af–my verdict on America's New York-style Pizza.
I grew up on New York style pizza in Los Angeles, but people from the East Coast looked down on it. They said it was better cold. Now that I think about it, they were right.

That's a wrap for Lawrence's take on pizza. I have more videos of Brits eating Detroit-Style Pizza that I'm saving for next year. I'm an environmentalist; I conserve my resources. In the meantime, stay tuned for the first of two World UFO Days, the last of the current string of holidays.
