Nine times out of ten, unless you order a specialty pie in Fairfield, you'll be served one that's right on par with a traditional Italian one. Maybe it's because many of the city's residents enjoy that comforting taste of home after being overseas or then again maybe not. Who knows for sure why, but thick crust pizza is the one Fairfield has become known for.

A thick crust pizza is much more appetite satisfying than a thin base pie and so perfect for quelling those ravenous hunger pangs when they appear. Thick crust usually comes layered with the sauce first, followed by the toppings and cheese. It's a great method of keeping things like pepperoni, bacon or peppers from overcooking and charring in the pizza oven's high temperatures. The cheese gets a good melt on it too so you can always expect some stringy bits when you take a bite, and that's all part and parcel of what makes pizza so much fun to eat.
