Greek-Style Pizza

Greek pizza was created by Greek immigrants in Boston, in the late 1960s. It is characterized by its thick, wettish dough, greasy cheese, and tomato sauce with a strong taste of oregano. This type of pizza is usually baked in a heavily greased pan, which results in a lacy, crisp edge and fried bottom crust. Greek ingredients such as artichokes, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives are favorable for the toppings, and although not necessary; pepperoni is also often used as a topping. As this dish does not reheat well, it is advised to consume it within the first fifteen minutes after baking.
