Tomato pie

Pizza is a relative of tomato pie, yet they are very different. Yes, the basic components are the same in both recipes, but the preparation gives them their distinct differences. You probably already know that a basic cheese pizza consists of a circular dough cooked with tomato sauce, seasonings, and a melted mixture of cheeses, ranging from mozzarella to cheddar, on top.

Contrarily, tomato pies are made with square dough that has been sliced into square pieces. Instead of melted cheese, there is a considerably thicker layer of tomato sauce on top, which is then sprinkled with grated parmesan once the pie has finished cooking. The warning? Usually, it is served cold. It may seem strange to you, but even if it tastes different from ordinary pizza, it still functions. Corrpolese, known for its tomato pies, also creates custom parmesan patterns. Three Corrpolese restaurants may be found in the King of Prussia neighborhood, just outside of Philadelphia, if you're interested in learning more about the tomato pie craze. Alternatively, you can find tomato pie at many different local establishments across the city.
