At first glance, Glasgow and Detroit might seem worlds apart—separated by an ocean, different accents, different skylines. But look closer, and you’ll see two cities cut from the same cloth.
Both Glasgow and Detroit are post-industrial powerhouses that once thrived on heavy industry—shipbuilding in Glasgow, automobiles in Detroit. Both have weathered hard times and come out stronger, rebuilding themselves through creativity, resilience, and a love for music, culture, and food.
And at the heart of it all? A deep-rooted passion for great pizza and groundbreaking music.
The Industrial Spirit: From Steel to Soundwaves
Both cities were once engines of the modern world—Detroit’s Ford factories revolutionized mass production, while Glasgow’s shipyards built the vessels that connected the world. But when industry declined, these cities didn’t crumble. Instead, they transformed.
Detroit became the birthplace of Motown and later, Techno—a sound that defined underground electronic music globally. Glasgow, with its legendary club scene and venues like Sub Club, embraced techno as its own, making it one of the best places in Europe to experience the genre.
Hard work, reinvention, and creativity—that’s in our DNA, whether you’re in Motor City or the Dear Green Place.
Pizza: A Shared Obsession 🍕
Detroit’s influence didn’t stop at music. It gave the world something equally life-changing: Detroit-style pizza—a thick, airy, caramelized cheese-crusted masterpiece.
Glasgow, already known for its deep appreciation of good food and great company, has taken that love of pizza and run with it. And now, the best of Detroit’s food scene has found a home here in Scotland.
That’s where we come in.
