SLAB Detroit Pizza is a Detroit-style pizza pop-up located inside The Lord High Admiral pub on Stonehouse Street in Plymouth. The pub sits in historic Stonehouse, one of Plymouth’s oldest districts, known for its maritime heritage, independent businesses and close proximity to the waterfront. The area has a strong community feel, and The Lord High Admiral is well regarded locally for its relaxed atmosphere, craft beers and welcoming character.
SLAB operates as the pub’s in-house kitchen, serving Detroit-style pizza, a deep-dish, square-cut style originating from the US Midwest. The pizzas are baked in traditional blue-steel pans, producing a crispy, caramelised cheese edge and a soft, airy base. This distinctive style has become a signature draw for the venue, appealing to both pizza enthusiasts and casual diners. SLAB describes its food as 'comfort food with attitude,' designed for sharing over drinks, enjoying with friends or pairing with the pub’s weekly events such as quizzes.
The menu includes a rotating selection of full slabs, half slabs and pizza slices, with toppings ranging from classic pepperoni to more inventive combinations such as Hot Sweet Meat Treat and Holy Cluck That’s Hot. Vegan options, including the Vegan Red Top and Vegan Wedge of Veg, ensure broad appeal. Sides include fries, dips and meal deals such as the Full Slab Meal or Share a Slab, which pair pizzas with drinks and sides.
The Lord High Admiral complements the food offering with independent beers, natural wines and classic pub drinks, plus a covered courtyard and a friendly, community-driven atmosphere. Together, the pub and SLAB create a lively, informal dining experience that blends Plymouth’s local pub culture with one of America’s most distinctive regional pizza styles.
