Oak City Pizza Co. in Edmond delivers Detroit-style pizza that exceeds expectations, even for those familiar with the original style. The crust offers a perfect balance of crispiness and chew, with a bubbly edge that enhances each bite. Cheese sticks and cheese bread arrive as standout items, a phenomenal addition to the menu.
The kitchen staff, including an owner present, provides efficient service, ensuring orders are hot and accurate. The self-serve drink station is a practical touch, though the layout of the seating and televisions presents some navigational challenges. The fountain area, in particular, can become difficult to access during busy periods.
Despite minor issues with service flow, the quality of the pizza makes it a destination. Some patrons experienced burned pizza edges and under-melted cheese on certain pies. The dough, described as chewy, and an unexpected flavor profile in the garlic knots detracted from the otherwise strong showing.
