Didn't realize that the Kardashian-Jenner clan ladies were considered to be "self-made"

[Yuri]

I decided to google Detroit's lady.

I didn't know what Little Caesar was and it's 3rd largest pizza chain in the US. The 2nd one is Domino, that one I knew from movies and they're present down here. Anyway, both are HQed in Detroit area. What's up with Detroit and pizza chains?

[JDRCRASH]

No JLo for NYC? Apparently her net-worth is pushing $400m.

Possibly due to suburbanization exploding in Detroit early, people wanted quick pizza to pickup or get delivered for their family dinner?
As opposed to other pizzerias that were sit down restaurants.


While I haven't been to Detroit yet, Detroit style pizza is tasty and becoming more and more popular.
Different then the sub par to average (at best) Little Caesar's and Domino's stuff.

Oh yes, Pizza is huge in the US. Though idk why they're in Detroit.

Isn't Little Caesar's Detroit style pizza?

Thinking about it I guess I’ve read Little Caesar on the Detroit’s thread, but I haven’t paid any attention, I assumed it was one of their casinos.

Yeah, there are a few pizza chains that originated in the Detroit area. Jet's Pizza and Hungry Howie's are two other national/semi-national chains that are based in the Detroit area. But I think Jet's is the only Detroit based chain that has standard "Detroit style" pizza on the menu and has locations outside the Detroit area.

Is Jet’s Pizza any good? There’s one in Pittsburgh and I’ve always wondered if I should give it a try.

There’s a local place in Pittsburgh called Iron Born Pizza which is Detroit style. Very good.

A certain sex tape helped one of them.

Still pretty impressive to turn a sex tape into $2 billion. Full respect, if that’s actually how much she’s worth.

I can see how you'd get there. Vegas has a pretty famous casino named Caesars

It's definitely better than Domino's or Little Caesar's. I've eaten at one of the locations in Manhattan a couple of times, and they do Detroit style pretty good.
