Pizza-Pedia 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. ©2018 Hilton Worldwide. ©201 Hilton Worldwide.
