In the cuisine of the United States, Greek pizza is a style of pizza crust and preparation where the pizza is proofed and cooked in a metal pan rather than stretched to order and baked on the floor of the pizza oven.[1] A shallow pan is used, unlike the deep pans used in Sicilian, Chicago, or Detroit-styled pizzas. Its crust is typically spongy, airy, and light, like focaccia but not as thick.[2] The crust is also rather oily, due to the coating of oil applied to the pan during preparation.[1][3]
In the United States, Greek-style pizza is common in New England and parts of eastern New York State.[1][4]
