00:00Hi, I'm Theo with Manchester World and welcome to Detroit Slims

00:04It's a brand new pizza place that opened last Saturday on Oxford Road right around the corner from Federal

00:09And I was invited down last week to give it a try and talk to the owner Daniel

00:13So let's go see what he had to say. Hi, my name is Daniel Mullen. I'm the co-founder of Detroit Slims

00:18We'll target everyone, we'll target students, we'll target locals, we'll target the whole shebang

00:23I've always wanted to get into the high street

00:25And there wasn't really a sort of a grab-and-go sort of takeaway style pizza

00:28You know, the traditional mindset of a pizza is you've got a big box

00:32so we kind of put our Detroit style slant on it and put it in a little box and

00:37Now we've got Detroit Slims. Fresh Detroit pizza, good fresh to go, you know.

00:42Quality of the dough is number one. Well, the quality of everything. It's the quality of the dough and the quality of the toppings

00:46But I think the dough and the fermentation of the dough, slow and low fermentation overnight and the hydration levels as well

00:53So it's got to be quite a wet dough

00:55It's really light, fluffy and bubbly and then another really important aspect of this particular pizza

01:01is you've got to cook it fresh to order. Price point was also a big thing for us

01:06We looked at a lot of our competitors and they were pretty pricey

01:10And I think this is sort of a, you know, a really top-end quality product, but a really good value perception

01:16So it's a really good value offering. We tested out a lot of our competitors and they were sort of between

01:216 minutes all the way up to 18 minutes. Fast food, frozen fast food

01:26This is fresh food baked to order in less than 6 minutes and when we're busy as well

01:31It's going to be even faster when we're busy because the oven can spit out around about

01:3520 seconds, about 25 pizzas

01:38So the busier we are the faster we can get it out

01:41Now the quality of the food is absolutely top as you can see here

01:45Now one of the great things about Detroit Slims is not only does it offer a great lunchtime snack

01:49But because it stays open until midnight on Friday and Saturday

01:52It also offers a great option if you're on the way back from the pub and want to avoid a greasy kebab

01:56So give it a go. Let us know what you think and follow Manchester World for more
