  • When I heard New England beach pizza called "America's worst pizza," I knew I had to give it a try. Featuring a thin crust, a very sweet sauce, a scant sprinkle of mozzarella, and full slices of provolone - it does possibly deserve its dubious reputation. But, I will admit that it’s good in a guilty-pleasure sort of way, and this was a fun experiment. Enjoy!

    Since I know what chef John call a "touch of sugar", I was really scared when he said "a stupid amount of sugar". Glad to be wrong for once!

    I've been making beach pizza for years for two purposes, to please kids and to serve as an hors d'oeuvre. I make two minor changes to the recipe you've showed. I smash 2 anchovy fillets (I use King Oscar) into the olive oil just before adding the tomato paste. I do NOT use Prego type sauce, I use Contadina Pizza sauce--this sauce is thick, very strong tomato flavor without that "dusty old herbs" flavor. I do add some fresh oregano and thyme from the plants in my window (or sometimes not). I also add the chili flakes, I use the Calabrian crushed dried chili flakes, they are fruitier and still nice and spicy.
    If I'm making this for kids , they like it best with smoked mozzarella (from whole foods), I just chop it up as best I can and put it all over the pizza . . . no provolone.
    If I'm making this for adults at a drinks buffet, I use regular mozzarella and add the provolone OR the smoked mozzarella and use more of it. Then I cut it so that each slice of provolone becomes 4 pieces.
    This pizza, which in our house is known as "square pizza" is also a super favorite for pot-luck, I get, "Why don't you bring that square pizza with the round cheese."
    There are NEVER any leftovers.
    If the crust is yeasty and the sauce is tomatoey (which it needs to be) this is a good pizza. I think it is its own category of pizza.

      I am a terrible, intolerable snob when it comes to pizza or any other Italian food, and I can't argue with anything you said. You didn't specifically address the issue of that ridiculous amount of sugar (I probably would add little to none, and if I did, it would probably be a SMALL amount of Chinese sugar), but you had my full attention with the word "Contadina". YES!! I have loved Contadina for decades. I have an Italian meatloaf recipe that gets topped for its last 15 minutes in the oven with a little 8oz can of Contadina and some freshly grated pecorino romano. The Contadina that runs off of the meatloaf mixes with the juice/grease in the pan and makes a sacred substance that bread MUST be dipped in.

    As someone who's eaten quite a bit of this on New England beaches, the sauce never goes all the way to the edge (there is a dry crust), and when they make it they stretch the corners of the dough over the edge of the pan to keep them from shrinking back, and then tuck them back inside after saucing. They're also always removed from the sheet pan and baked a second time directly on the floor of the oven (after adding the provolone, if it's being used) which makes the crust nice and crispy.

      You can still get them, Walmart carries them. Now they only include crust and sauce, you have to add your own cheese and toppings, but they're just as delicious and awful as they were when I was a kid, lol.

      Chef Boy Ardee pizza kits. Includes: Dough mix (add water and mix), cheese (kraft parm, box insists you try the kit with additional grated cheese), sauce, and, if you picked up that one, pepperoni in the sauce (little pepperonis though in some kits the pepperoni was separate). My family tried them twice, once without buying additional cheese/pepperoni to put on it and a second time we did buy additional cheese. They weren't bad. They weren't stellar, they were... alright.
      There are two worst pizzas I ever had , one from Dominos the other from Pizza Hut. The Dominos pizza had so much seasoning on the crust it was practically inedible. It was slightly doughy, as it wasn't cooked long enough, and the toppings were terrible. The crust, the parts that were cooked, was awful. And this was after they implement their new crust. Can't stand Dominos. The Pizza Hut one might have been worst. Got a stuffed crust pizza. The part of the crust that was stuffed was fine, kind of meh. The rest of the crust was hard like hard tack hard, couldn't even cut it with a sharp knife. Chewing it was like chewing wood. The toppings slid off the curst and their was so much oil the box was soaked through. It was disgusting. There was so much orange oil that it was DRIPPING when the delivery driver handed it over and the oil coated the inside of his bag and his hands.
