HMMM: Bar Pizza

This is a whole type of pizza I did not even know existed. There’s rules involved AND it only originated up the road from me on the South Shore of Boston. Just. Crazy.

Bar Pizza Rules

“So let’s get right to it—first and foremost, one bar pizza feeds one person. It is not meant to be split amongst a group and you don’t order it by the slice. While trading slices is fine, the pies are relatively small, so the first rule of bar pizza is: one person, one pizza. Any more than that and it disorients South Shore sensibilities, much like taking the Red Line past Park Street Station. Some say they’ve even seen newborn South Shore babies with a pie to themselves. Two parents, one baby— three pizzas.

As ironclad as the one pizza per person rule, the next oddity of bar pizza separates it from all other pies. South Shore bar pizza is a pan pizza. It’s ALWAYS cooked in a small steel pan “ - Edible Southshore
