Grandma Pizza: Not Just on Long Island - Find the Best in NEPA!
Grandma Pizza is a style of pizza that is most commonly described as a "thin Sicilian" pizza. It originated on Long Island and is said to get its name from grandmothers cooking their hearty pasta sauce all day on the stove. When the kids would come inside hungry from playing and the sauce wasn't ready, grandma would take some dough, press it into a pan, and toss some cheese and the spaghetti sauce on top to make a quick snack for the children. For more information about its history and characteristics, check out this article on Huffington Post Life.
