Sicilian pizza

Thick rectangular pie

Sicilian pizza is a thick, rectangular pizza with a spongy, bread-like crust, baked in an oiled pan.

The style originated with Sicilian immigrants in the United States and differs from round Neapolitan pizza in both shape and texture.

The crust is typically an inch or more thick, crispy on the bottom and airy inside: We ordered a Sicilian with pepperoni.
