We could write books about the magic of the Detroit square pizza. It's a wonderfully thick, crispy and cheesy treat that put the Motor City in the ranks of the best 'za in the land. But today we're paying tribute to an unsung pizza hero: the slice. When an entire square is either too much for your appetite or your pocket book, the simple slice joint will tide you over for about the same amount of change that's collecting under your car seat. Here, we've dug up 15 bargain-friendly spots that satisfy everyone from the starving student, the busy office worker, and the late night barfly .

Slices Pizza, 1043 Woodward Ave
All the new sit-down eateries hitting downtown certainly give workers more dining options, but the fact remains that there will always be days when a quick and cheap slice is all you can manage on break. Here, you'll always find a special, like a slice and a pop for $4. Before you know it, you'll back in the office with full tummy.

Backroom, 605 Church St., Ann Arbor
Late-night cramming sessions are tough enough as it is. After midterms, you'll find plenty of releving co-eds out at the bar, followed by this popular slice joint, where the menu is simple: huge slices of cheese for $1, $1.50 for pepperoni.

New York Pizza Depot, 605 East Williams, Ann Arbor
No, the foldable slices here is not particularly authentic by some New Yorkers' standards, but you'll still get a stealthily-sized slice with your choice of toppings, specialty selections, or even Chicago-style. They even have a mac & cheese pizza that sounds as glorious as it looks.
