• "Detroit-style pizza is a style of pizza developed in Detroit, Michigan." I know this is conventionally how we start articles, but this is so obvious I can't believe it. Perhaps think of a different way instead of saying A-style B is B from A.

• "Small Detroit-style pizza from Green Lantern Pizza in Madison Heights, Michigan." no need to mention the restaurant and no period required as it's a fragment.

• Lead doesn't need that single-sentence paragraph, an article of this brevity probably only needs one lead para (per MOS:LEAD).

• "traced back historically" do you need both "traced back" and "historically"?

recast entire sentence, it was kind of a stinker —valereee (talk) 17:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• "Buddy's Rendezvous" where was this located?

done, but now it's a very complex sentence, see what you think —valereee (talk) 17:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• "Sources disagree whether the source " source x 2.

• "a "focaccia-like crust" with pepperoni pressed into the dough."[4] " a spare quote mark here.

done —valereee (talk) 17:30, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• "weren't " avoid contractions.

• I would link (pipe) Buddy's Pizza at Bobby's Rendezvous rather than wait for the rename.

• "The restaurant later became Buddy's Pizza. Over the next several decades" later but when later as without that, we have no context for when the next several decades took place.

Hm...can't find a date for the name change, but I've recast the following sentence, see what you think. —valereee (talk) 17:30, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• "in Hazel Park" ->"in Hazel Park, Michigan"

done —valereee (talk) 17:32, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• " as "Sometimes" sometimes.
• "wasn't " avoid contractions.
• "he'd " again.
• "ow do I figure this out?"[6] Randazzo..." merge paras.
• Merge next two paras too.
• "America"[15][10] " ref order.
• Merge last two paras. Starting to become a bit proseline.
• " topping.[19][14]" ref order.
• Reception section is too "listy". Merge those paras.
• Date formats in refs should be consistent.

That's all I have for a quick run through. On hold for now. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 16:19, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

The Rambling Man I think I've finished all of these, thanks for the excellent input! LMK what else! —valereee (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

All good, I made a couple of little tweaks, but now happy to promote. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 07:33, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
