Probably not cooked at high enough temp as the rest of the crust other than edges was soft and not crispy. Used the monterrey jack and muenster slices with 8oz of each alternated and two layers. Any other thoughts on why dough was not crispy?Normally you cook at a lower temp for a longer time to get a crispy crust.Most Detroit pizza recipes I have been reading are recommending 550°-600° instead of the 450° that I used. I am not even sure how high the settings on my oven will go or whether using convection would be any better. I think if you cook at too low a temp you don't get the melting of the cheese dripping to the sides of the pan for what really is the crux of the flavor profile of this style of pizza from what I have been reading. Having only had two Detroit pizzas in Detroit a few weeks ago I remember the flavor and texture. Unfortunately, I am new to pizza making so trying to learn that and get it close to what I remember eating may take me a while. And, I need to get the proper cheese even though the substitute worked OK.

Will try the oil and can go to 550° in the oven, so will try that again!
I believe it. I have a friend who is in the Minneapolis area. Also Chippewa Falls, WI. I said if he could find any to bring me some home, he has not been able to locate it. It must be a real regional thing!
