Greek-style Pizza

Greek-style pizza is a thick, chewy, focaccia-like pizza that originated in the Greek-American communities of New England, particularly in the 1950s. It is characterized by its generous use of olive oil, which creates a crispy, golden crust, and is typically topped with ingredients like feta cheese, olives, tomatoes, onions, and herbs.
