Fox Hollow Farm Pizza at The Bricks
15201 Kercheval Ave, Grosse Pointe Park; 313-925-3430; thebrickspizzeria.com
The Bricks kitchen pulls many of its ingredients off the land at the farm it owns north of metro Detroit, and those are on display in the excellent Fox Hollow Farm egg pizza with red sauce, mozzarella, pancetta, red onion, and a fried egg that's dusted with dried Hungarian pepper from Detour spices. The gooey egg yolk mixes well with the salty, fatty pancetta — essentially Italian bacon — and red onion. The salt-acid-smoke combination over the sour background from Bricks' sourdough, Neapolitan-style crust is what makes it. This pie stood out in a year full of a lot of new pizza in and around Detroit. —Tom Perkins
