For a town that is located in New Jersey and not so far from New York, Westfield pizza lovers are intentional about their favorite pie and wouldn’t be easily swayed by New Yorkers. Instead, they are all about Sicilian pizza and wouldn’t trade the tomato sauce topping for anything. Without it, the pizza just does not feel or taste complete. There are a number of differences between the “Westfield Sicilian Pizza” and the original Italian version, though they are subtle. For starters, instead of having the pizza in a rectangular shape like the original Italian delicacy, some Westfield pizza lovers prefer to go with the circular form that they’ll eat in triangular slices. Moreover, they fancy their mozzarella cheese going on top of the dough before the meatless tomato sauce which will sit on top of the cheese. This, of course, doesn’t mean that all the room on the pizza will be taken and there won’t be any space for additional toppings. Far from it! Onions, sausage, and breadcrumbs are just a few of the items that residents enjoy on their pie. There’s no hard and fast rule about whether the crust should be thick or thin here. Whatever works for you is what works for you, and pizzaiolos know how to treat their customers to just that.
