Holiday, celebrate
Holiday, celebrate
If we took a slice of holiday
Been a while since we ate
Just one pie, just one slice
It would be
It would be so nice
Everybody spread the 'roni
We're gonna have a bloated belly
All across the world
Or at least in Motown
It's time for the good slice
Forget about the bad slice
The sauce and dough will meld together
So if you're hungry like a predator
We need some Holiday
Holiday Pizza, celebrate
Holiday Pizza, celebrate
If we took a holiday and took some time to celebrate, maybe what we would be celebrating would be this amazing Detroit style pizza. Of course Detroit has the best pizza in the world along with maybe Buffalo, and this is one of the best examples of it.
It's doughy (like you if you eat too much of it), it's gooey (like my underwear when I first tasted it), it's wet (like Barbie 24 7), it's cheesy (like my jokes), it's rich (like Barbie's clients) because of the tomato sauce, and it's perfection (that's Barbie again) from frostbite to last. Actually that was meant to say first bite, blame voice dictation. Then again if you try and eat your pizza outdoors in Detroit between October and April, frostbite is exactly what you'll end up with.
If it were Middle Eastern, it'd be Holiday Pita. If it were served in church, it'd be Holy-day Pizza. If it were a Pokestop, it'd be Holiday Pikachu. If it refused to serve any meat at all, it'd be Holiday PETA. And if it allowed all the residents of Detroit to die from natural disasters and chemical poisoning while pocketing all the profits from the government (aka people of America) giving funds, it'd be Holiday FEMA.
Also there's a bunch of cute people that come in here. But that's beside the point. You won't find better Detroit pizza than here at Holiday. You might even feel like you're on Holiday.
A few words on Detroit-style Pizza in general.
Pizza in Detroit is something very special. As I've said before, a lot of the locals and definitely out-of-towners don't appreciate just how miraculous it is. Thick, doughy pizza bread with delicious hearty homemade tomato sauce and thick layers of cheese, with greasy-ass pepperoni as the throne on the king that is Detroit Pizza. Or king on throne. Whatevs.
The city knows how to pizza.
It is the only city other than Buffalo that has such a sky-high standard of local pizza like this. Funnily enough the pizza in Detroit - much like that in Buffalo - is best found south of the city. Morons will tell you that there is no South Detroit and that Journey were wrong, but there really is. It's called Downriver. It's technically Southwest of the downtown, but it's South enough. The Pizza of perfection is specifically in Allen Park. I highly recommend BC Pizza (my fave) and Bella and Paul's, as well as the Allen Park location of local chain Primo's. In the West Burbs, Vizzy's is the best of the bunch, and may be the best in the state. But if you're in the North part of Detroit there's one shining star and that is right here. Holiday Pizza. One of the few North Suburb Pizzerias that is on the level of the South ones and Vizzy's in Westland.
If it served Indian Chicken, it'd be Holiday Tikka. If it served Pineapple Coconut alcoholic cocktails, it'd be Holiday Pina Colada. If it served Easter Candy, it'd be Holiday Peeps. And if it was old men at my gym, it'd be Holiday Pedo.
I know people say NYC has the best pizza, and honestly, 4 of the best 5 slices in the country are probably in NYC. But in terms of overall standard across-the-board, nothing comes close to the standards of Buffalo and Detroit.
Bear in mind you may not like this pizza if you are into hipster traditional healthy locally sourced stuff. For that I recommend skipping Detroit and Buffalo completely. Head to Williamsburg and stop hogging Yelp.
Now we'll let Green Day finish this review.
"The representative from California has the floor"
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (hey!)
To find, the pizza's on the other side
Can I get another Amen (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a Pizza tray
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the sharing of the rest of our slice
