tavern-style
Thin, crispy squares
Tavern-style describes pizza with a thin, crispy crust cut into squares rather than triangular slices—the kind served in Midwestern bars and neighborhood joints where pizza was meant for sharing over drinks.
The crust is typically cracker-thin and firm enough to hold toppings without flopping: We ordered a tavern-style sausage pizza at the corner bar.
