A List of Regional Pizza Styles

From a native Chicagoan to all the people saying that Chicago style stuffed pizza does not have a layer of crust on the top: look again!

Giordano's and Edwardo's and everywhere else I've gotten stuffed pizza in Chicago has a VERY THIN top crust right on top of the cheese, but under the sauce. It's so thin, you probably don't notice it. It IS there. I can promise you that.

There's another style of pizza that's missing: French Crust Pizza. I've only ever had it at Breadaux in Millstadt, IL, and Pagliai's in Charleston, IL. It's pretty basic, but very good. The crust is thin, but fluffy.

what the hell? where is dayton styled pizza? that is a glaring omission. it's ohio's own unique pizza style.

basically it's very, very thin round pizza, but cut into tiny squares. they use moz and the toppings go all the way to the edge. often to keep the pie from sticking the bottom it is salt crusted (rather than cornmeal or flour), which really gives it a great taste.

i think of it as extremely addictive party pizza.

the city of dayton, ohio has many individual outlets and chainlets. the biggest chainlets are cassanos:

also, donato's of columbus, oh....recently bought and owned by freakin mcdonalds for awhile (!!!) is yet another version of dayton-style pizza:

my gawd, you guys really blew it by mentioning nebulous ohio valley and leaving this truly and extremely unique and locally popular ohio style off your list. i am hoping maybe you were just confused and really meant dayton-style pizza?
