What is Grandma Pizza?
Grandma pizzas are rectangular or square pizzas cooked in the oven. My first encounter with a “Grandma Pie” was when I was a little girl. My dad’s business partner is Italian and his mother used to bring the entire office lunch a few times a week. Our family was invited one day and this tiny, adorable old lady came out holding giant sheetpans filled with cheesy, melty pizzas. It’s a great way to feed a crowd and is always a hit, wherever it is served.
How to make Grandma pizza
Can I make this ahead?
The dough and sauce can be made two days in advance and kept in the fridge. Any leftover pizza can be wrapped in foil and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a hot pan until the crust is crisp.
Serving suggestion
I think this pizza is pretty perfect on its own but you could add a simple green salad with lemon-Parmesan dressing if you’d like to serve a side with it.
