Grandma Pizza - Central Jersey at its best

Since moving to Central Jersey, I have found three things food wise that the area does better than the rest - the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, the fresh, straight from the ocean seafood and, last but not least, grandma style pizza.  I had never even heard of grandma pizza before moving to the area.  Whenever I had heard the term "sicilian," it always meant thick crust.  This is not the case in Central Jersey.  Here, a grandma pizza is a thin crust, sicilian pizza served best when made with fresh mozzarella.  It is definitely one of my new favorite things.  My husband have tried them at Old Bridge Pizzeria and Bacci Brick Oven.  The two pies have their own unique flavors, but both are delicious in their own ways.

The only problem with Grandma Pizza is that it only ever comes in one size.  My husband and I can eat a decent amount of pizza, but when it comes to trying to finish a Grandma, there is always some that goes to waste.  It feels like such a shame to throw away such a tasty meal.
