Greek Pizza


Greek pizza has a distinct style to it that is unlike other forms of pizza. Instead of being baked on bricks in the oven, Greek pizza is baked in a pan. The crust is thicker and chewier than that of other types of pizza. There is no set toppings that go along with Greek pizza, it is more so known for how it is baked. If someone were to order a Greek pizza it would most likely come topped with feta cheese, gyros, olives and spinach. This style of pizza is mainly found in the New England area and not in many other places in the US.

All of the pizza places near my house make the Greek style pizza. Even if my family wants to get pizza from a different place one time it is guaranteed to be Greek style unless we head to Papa Ginos. I like this style of pizza not only because it is what I grew up eating, but also that it is a lot less greasy than other kinds of pizza. (which might have a lot to do with the place we get it from). I think it would be very interesting to see what real Greek pizza tastes like, I bet it is much different.
