Sicilian Pizza in The US
In the United States, a Sicilian pizza is typically a square pie with dough over an inch thick. It is derived from the Sfinciuni and was introduced in the States by the first Italian (Sicilian) immigrants. Thick-crust and deep-dish pizza is often mistakenly called Sicilian pizza in the US. Sicilian-style pizza is popular in Italian-American enclaves throughout Boston, Detroit, Portland, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, and also in Utica, New York, a city whose sizable Italian-American population is predominantly Sicilian. Detroit-style pizza is a direct descendent of Sicilian pizza.
