/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Looks like what we call a "grandma pie" in NY.

Variations abound, but the basic outlines are as follows: a thin layer of dough is stretched into an oiled, square "Sicilian" pan, topped sparingly with shredded mozzarella, crushed uncooked canned tomatoes, chopped garlic and olive oil, and baked until the top bubbles and the bottom is crisp.

[Michele] Scicolone [Manhattan resident, Italian food expert, and co-author of Pizza: Any Way You Slice It] observed that grandma pie sounded a lot like "pizza alla casalinga" (housewife-style pizza), "the kind of pizzas you'd get in Italy if you were invited to someone’s home."
