Thin crust pizza was invented by Giuseppe Panico, an Italian immigrant to America who opened a pizzeria in New York City in 1896. Thin crust pizza is made by using a very wet dough. As it cooks, most of the liquid cooks off and what’s left is a crispy crust that can be foldable without breaking. It is usually topped with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce.
