Not only did the city of Fremont enter into a new era of development in the 20th century, the pizzas being served in the pizzerias there did too. While the Italian migrants may have arrived in Fremont from several states and different regions of their home country, it wasn't traditional pizza they dished up but a new Americanized version. It was so popular that it wasn't long before Fremont was known for California-style pizza. California-style pizza is a thin-based pie, although the dough isn't as crispy as the cracker-like base of a St Louis-style pie. There's no crusty border left bare of ingredients on California-style pizza either, and the toppings are spread right up to the very edge. That's a big bonus if you're someone who always leaves your pie crusts on the side of your plate. Toppings on California-style pizzas have always been creative, so it's more or less a case of anything goes, which makes for very interesting pies.
