Beach pizza is a style of pizza popular in the coastal communities of New England north of Boston, particularly in northeastern Massachusetts and coastal New Hampshire. It has a very thin crust and is rectangular, being typically cooked on a baking sheet. The crust is topped with a noticeably sweet tomato sauce, a sprinkling of cheddar cheese, and, traditionally, can include slices of provolone cheese (usually the delicatessen form typically used in sandwiches).[1][2][3]
Beach pizza was invented in 1944 at Tripoli Bakery in Lawrence, Massachusetts, a mill city along the Merrimack River in the Merrimack Valley, approximately twenty miles west of the Atlantic Ocean.[4] It was popularized during the touristic heyday of Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts, in the mid-to-late twentieth century.
