slice. The overstuffed casserole-style pizza from Chicago is almost as iconic as Wrigley Field. And the thin-crusted, delicately topped pies of California almost belong in a "Visit CA" ad campaign.This is tomato pie, my friends.Anyone? Well, anyone who's actually tried them certainly can't. For years I've been singing the praises of Trenton tomato pie, the local moniker for their crisp-edged, tomato-forward pizza, to anyone who'll listen.
But no matter. Because the pie is the same: Like any pie called "tomato" should be, it was dominated by, well, tomatoes: a generous topping of hand-crushed canned tomatoes, seasoned just with salt, in lieu of a layer of seasoned tomato sauce.the tomatoes, the sparse mozzarella topping melted directly onto the crust. And that crust? It was thin but had plenty of charred backbone, without the fragility and near-instant sogginess of a true Neapolitan pie.
And you need the experience of picking up a slice, expecting it to sag in your hand but discovering that despite the toppings, it's so well-charred that it's stiff as a board. A slice, mind you, that isn't even triangle-shaped, but follows the random geometry of whoever slices up the pie. These irregular-sized pieces aren't just homespun—they make it delightfully difficult to track how many "real" slices of pizza you've eaten.
