thick-crust pizza
Bread-heavy Italian pie
Thick-crust pizza is a style of pizza characterized by a substantial, bready base rather than a thin, crispy one.
The crust may be fluffy and airy like focaccia or dense and chewy, depending on regional variations.
Chicago-style deep-dish and Detroit-style pan pizza are well-known thick-crust varieties, though the term also applies to simpler preparations where the dough is simply rolled or stretched thicker than usual.
I prefer thick-crust pizza because there's more bread to soak up the sauce.
