No, Detroit has (optionally) a couple lines of sauce on top, and most places I know that make Detroit style skip the sauce lines. Chicago style has sauce on top of the entire thing.
Though I just looked it up and it looks like there are multiple different “Chicago style” definitions.
Chicago style is a kiddie pool of a crust filled with an alarming miasma of sauce and toppings (bafflingly, placed under the sauce). It’s more of a “savory pie” than a “pizza-pie”. Great for if you want to drown a toddler in a food item; not so great for folding up and eating as you walk around town.
They can be tasty. I just object to them being classified with the rest of the pizza genus, because they’re wildly different in terms of construction to any other pizza species.

Pizza means pie.
