A thin, cracker-crusted pizza cut into small squares rather than wedges, the Midwest tavern style common in central Indiana neighborhood bars.
Tavern-style pizza migrated to Indianapolis from St. Louis and Chicago neighborhood bars in the mid-20th century, the format crystallised at Iaria's Italian Restaurant and The Aristocrat Pub by the 1960s. The square cut and cracker crust suited eat-with-one-hand bar dining and a low oven; the Italian sausage on top reflected the central Indiana pork supply, with the canonical version pulled by neighborhood tap houses across the Mass Ave corridor.
