# Event Details - **Event Name**: National Detroit Pizza Day! - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: They're closed on Tuesdays. That's the first thing you need to understand. Hotline Pizza is open Thursday through Sunday. That's their whole week. And on June 23rd, National Detroit Pizza Day, they are opening on a Tuesday night, exclusively for us, exclusively for Rhode Island: The Pizza State, exclusively for that one night. If you know Hotline, you understand why they are different. This place launched in 2020 out of a pandemic kitchen, taking orders through Instagram DMs only. No phone number. No website. No walk-ins. Ordering sometimes closed in sixty seconds. The only way in was to win a quiet digital lottery and hope. They eventually moved to a brick-and-mortar shop in Providence, then landed at the Thirsty Beaver in North Kingstown, where they've been doing their thing ever since. With 33,000 Instagram followers treating every post like a notification worth dropping what you're doing for. Their everyday pizza has its own unique identity. Greg will tell you it's "Detroit-like" and leave it at that. Different pan, a blend of cheeses, sauce underneath. It works because it's unique and absolutely delicious. But that is not what we are eating on June 23rd. To honor National Detroit Pizza Day properly, Hotline is going back to the source. In 1946, a Detroit restaurateur named Gus Guerra grabbed blue steel pans from an automotive plant floor and baked a pizza in them. Nobody fully understands why. What came out of that oven changed everything. The blue steel ran searingly hot. The Wisconsin brick cheese, high-butterfat, slightly tangy, built to melt, crept up the sides of the pan and caramelized into something that is no longer just cheese. A dark, lacy, shatteringly crisp wall running the perimeter of the rectangle. The frico. The sauce went on top. And Detroit-style pizza was born. On June 23rd, Hotline is doing exactly that. Blue steel pans. Wisconsin brick cheese. Sauce on top. They're calling it The OG Detroit, brick cheese, tomato sauce, and whatever you want on top. It did not exist anywhere on their regular menu before or maybe after out night together. And they're making it accessible for anyone. A special size created just for this event, six slices, $12.99. Try to find a deal like that on a Detroit anywhere. This opportunity exists because of the holiday, and because Rhode Island: The Pizza State and Hotline made it happen together. If you love Hotline, you know why you need to go. If you love Detroit-style pizza, you know why you need to go. If you've never had either, you just found out what you've been missing.
