This is the other breed of 'go 'za.
It's apparently called "tavern-style" but IRL we call it "thin crust".
It has a thin, cracker crust and is often cut into squares (inb4 autism).
All of the bars up here in the North Shore serve a variety with a very distinct taste I can't quite put my finger on.
I found a similar taste when putting basil & oregano on some fried cheese, so I suspect those herbs are involved, but I'm a cooking plen, so I could be way off base.
I would quite like to try and cook one of these at home.
Are there any 'goans who are familiar with this style and can help me get to the bottom of this?
Its probably marjoram and basil

Lol squares
Place by me makes their medium pizzas oblong and cut into squares. Don't mind though, they make great fucking pizza. Picture doesn't do it justice.

Ex-Chicagoan here. The toppings are usually under the cheese with this style of pizza, and the crust is usually cooked just short of being burnt, so it's super crispy.

Yeah no. No one calls it "tavern style," ever. It's a thin crust pizza. That's it. And the sauce has nothing to do with it, it's minimal and is undoubtedly a doctored up commercial paste (basil, oregano, or "Italian seasoning"); it's the crust, it must be crispy and cracker-like, so that when you hold a piece it doesn't droop. And toppings under the cheese is false.
