Familiarize yourself with some of
these more unique pizza varieties.
PIZZA STRIPS
A.k.a. “party pizza” and a.k.a. “bakery
pizza.” Regardless of what you call it, the
important things to know and appreciate
about this Rhode Island treasure is that the
dough is thick, the tomato sauce is heavy,
the cheese is nonexistent — unless you
ask for a sprinkling of parmesan — and
the final product is served cold (yes, you
read that right).
WOOD-FIRED
Think: A classic eleven to thirteen-inch
Neapolitan pizza baked at a temp of 600–
900° F. The humid heat of the wood oven
creates a thin center and a puffy crust.
BRICK-OVEN
This iteration is heated in, you guessed it, a
coal-fired brick oven. Most pizza makers will
prepare a New York-style pie before cooking
it, resulting in a thicker, crisper crust.
GRILLED
Rumored to have originated in Rhode Island,
throwing some dough and cheese on the grill
is the best method for attaining chewy,
smoky, blistered perfection.
SICILIAN
Around since the early 1800s, this style
features a rectangular, spongy bread base
(like focaccia) and is traditionally topped in
onions, anchovies, tomatoes, herbs and toma
cheese (though plain old tomato sauce and
mozzarella will do the trick, too!).
NEW YORK-STYLE
Bada bing, bada boom: Bakers usually start
with a large piece of dough and then hand-
toss it until the middle is soft and pliable while
the edges remain thick. It’s often served in
wide slices which allow for easy foldability
before consuming.
GREEK-STYLE
Unlike an Italian-style pizza, Greek pies are
baked in a shallow pan rather than directly
on the bricks of an oven. The crust is
normally chewy and puffy but not too thick,
and is often paired with traditionally Greek
toppings like olives and feta cheese.
