Grandma Pie

Grandma pie is an American pizza variety that differentiates itself by the crust – due to the fact that the dough isn't allowed to proof for a long time, it turns out thin and dense. The pizza is baked in metal pans, resulting in rectangular slices that are crispy on the bottom. It is typically topped with shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, garlic, and olive oil, although there are numerous variations with added ingredients such as sausages and broccoli rabe. Grandma pie originated on Long Island at a family-run restaurant called Umberto's.
