grandma pizza

Square pan pie

Grandma pizza is a style of pizza baked in a rectangular pan, yielding a thin, crispy crust with a chewy interior.

The cheese goes directly on the dough with sauce on top, reversing the usual order.

The name evokes Italian grandmothers who made simple home-style pizza before pizzerias standardized the round pie: We ordered a grandma pizza to share.
