Grandma Pizza
Grandma Pizza is a rectangular, thick-crust pizza that originated in Long Island, New York, often baked in a sheet pan with a generous layer of olive oil. It is typically topped with a simple combination of mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and fresh garlic, creating a crispy, focaccia-like base. This style is known for its rustic, home-baked feel and is often served in slices rather than traditional wedges.
