Copycat Recipe - AKA - Party Pizza

"This Rhode Island recipe is inspired by the bakery pizza I used to have growing up that can only be had in Rhode Island. Don't let the lack of toppings stop you from trying this delicious recipe. It's great for a party and kids love it!"

HELLO My New England PIZZA STRIP lovers... 🍕

Every bakery had their own take on it, and let me tell you—everyone had very strong opinions! If you walked into a room full of Rhode Islanders and asked, “Okay, so which bakery has the best strips?” you'd instantly get a flood of passionate responses. You’d hear names like Calvitto’s in Providence/Cranston, DeFusco’s in Warwick, DePalmieri’s in Johnston, Crugnale’s in Rumford/Cumberland, DePetrillo’s in North Prov./Smithfield, or La Salle in Providence. The loyalty runs deep—but for me? It’s always been Calvitto’s. Past, present, and forever my fave! 💛🍕

And if you’ve ever moved away from Rhode Island, you know the craving for those strips hits hard. So with this recipe, I’m really hoping my version brings you right back home. Fingers crossed it hits the spot for you too! 🤞🍞❤️

*For the authentic Rhode Island serving style, wrap each strip in a folded piece of wax paper. Yup that'd be me! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Keeping it real!

Notes:

I like homemade pizza dough, but use what's convenient for you. Supermarket dough works just fine. Just don't use a pre-made pizza shell; it doesn't taste the same. It's got to be fresh dough. - Trust me on this one!
