OrderPizza strips
Bakery-style Sicilian rectangular pizza, cut into strips, sauced with sweet tomato but typically served without cheese. Eaten at room temperature, by hand; the Rhode Island Italian-American snack and party staple.
Pizza strips (also called bakery pizza, party pizza, or 'red strips') developed in southern Italian immigrant bakeries in Providence and the Federal Hill area through the early 20th century. Caserta Pizzeria on Spruce Street has been selling them since 1953; D. Palmieri's Bakery has carried the same tradition since the original Providence shop opened in 1905, now operating in Johnston. The strips are typically a 12-by-18 inch tray pan baked in a brick oven, sauced with sweet tomato puree, and cut into 3-by-4 inch rectangles that sell for a few dollars each.
