thin-crust pizzas

Cracker-like Italian pies

Thin-crust pizzas are pizzas made with a flat, crispy base rather than thick, doughy bread.

The style emphasizes toppings over bread, with a cracker-like texture that holds its shape when lifted.

New York and Roman styles are classic examples: I prefer thin-crust pizzas because you taste more of the cheese and sauce.
