Detroit, MI - Amar Pizza; Pizza is pizza right? Some restaurants use more cheese than others, while some try to flare their pizza with fresh herbs and larger leaves of basil, etc. There are other places that just offer the ordinary pizza and you wouldn't be able to tell from one pepperoni pizza to the next.

Not Amar Pizza. You can get all the traditional pizza you want, but what you won't find at other places is the adventurous and flavorful experience with a Bangladesh spin. This pizza place was one of the stops on our Bizarre Foods culinary tour of Detroit to follow in Andrew Zimmern's shoes.

DO NOT LEAVE THIS PLACE WITHOUT TRYING THEIR DRIED FISH PIZZA! I wrote that in caps for a reason, seriously you have to try it. It was by far one of the best pizzas I have ever tried. Its unique, delicious, and packs a kick of heat.

It is made with dried shrimp, roasted garlic, onions, cilantro, spicy fish paste containing ghost peppers. It does have a small fish flavor, but its minor. The fish is dried and then mashed together, then spread on the pizza. So when it cooks, it becomes dehydrated and becomes this wonderfully crunchy topping. When you combine the fish along with the garlic and shrimp paste, it makes a harmony of flavors. Be careful though, if you don't like spicy food, you may want to stay away from this one. A small amount of ghost pepper is used so it has a kick. It doesn't hit you at first but when the heat arrives slowly, oh you know it. We did ask the owner how they came up with this pizza and it was fascinating how they did, but I can't reveal their secret.  You'll have to go to try it first and ask them yourself.

Be advised, you do order through bullet proof glass, but we didn't see any problems near by or felt unsafe.
