Boxcar Pizza works in the Detroit style: thick, deep-dish focaccia-like crusts made from naturally fermented sourdough dough. The shop is locally owned and puts real weight behind its vegan offerings, aiming for pizza that happens to be vegan rather than a lesser stand-in for the traditional version.
The menu runs through Detroit-style squares alongside items like the Cheeseburger Pizza and Bacon Jalapeno Cheesy Bread. Regulars have built a loyal following around the vegan pies in particular, with a reputation strong enough that people will drive across town for them.
Opinions on consistency vary from visit to visit, but the shop has carved out a devoted base in the Kerns neighborhood.
