You are correct. The pie that you made was Detroit style. Other than gaobest doing it in a square pan I don't know what he is doing different to call it that. In Detroit they use square pans because the corners are the best part---they use a steel pan.

It is thick but so is Chicago deep dish. The beauty of it is the super crispy edges. It is not school cafeteria pizza. How dare you!!
