Midnight Pizza Cru
Restaurant offering Detroit-style pizzas and Sicilian-inspired square pizzas, including at least one vegan pizza option
Address:
Sunderland Street, Sunderland, SR1 1UW
The business was founded by Dan Shannon, who originally made pizzas at home during lockdown after being made redundant in late 2020.
Midnight Pizza Crü specialises in Detroit‑style pizza, which is quite different from standard takeaway pizza:
- Baked in rectangular steel pans
- Thick, airy base with a caramelised, crispy cheese edge
- Sauce often layered on top of the cheese rather than underneath
They also offer Sicilian‑inspired square pizzas, which are slightly lighter but still pan‑baked
