Tomato Pie

(New Jersey-Style Tomato Pie)

Tomato pie (New Jersey-style) is a thin-crusted dish that inverts the typical pizza's "sauce on the bottom, cheese on top" formula, and it is basically pizza in reverse. Dating back to the 19th century, this dish is derived from Sicilian pizza and is typically found in Sicilian-American communities.


The ingredients are mostly the same as for the regular pizza, the only difference being that the cheese in tomato pie is added first, while the tomatoes are added on top. Ideally, the crust should be thick and crispy. Although there are many varieties of tomato pie, pizza joints in Trenton, New Jersey are said to follow the most authentic recipe.
