thin-crust pizza

Cracker-like Italian pie

Thin-crust pizza has a base that's rolled or stretched thin and baked until crisp, in contrast to thicker, breadier styles.

The crust may crackle when folded.

New York–style pizza is thin-crust but pliable; Roman and St.

Louis styles are thinner and crunchier.

I prefer thin-crust pizza—less dough means more toppings per bite.
