Beach pizza

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 mozzarella cheese, and, additionally, can include slices of provolone cheese (usually the delicatessen form typically used in sandwiches).[1][2][3]
