Greek pizza

Common card · No. 268273

In the cuisine of the United States, Greek pizza is a style of pizza crust and preparation where the pizza is proofed and cooked in a metal pan rather than stretched to order and baked on the floor of the pizza oven. A shallow pan is used, unlike the deep pans used in Sicilian, Chicago, or Detroit-styled pizzas. Its crust is typically spongy, airy, and light, like focaccia but not as thick. The crust is also rather oily, due to the coating of oil applied to the pan during preparation. In the United States, Greek-style pizza is common in New England and parts of eastern New York State, and restaurants serving the style are often identified by the epithet pizza house or house of pizza.
