In Steubenville, Ohio, and other Ohio River towns, local pizzerias dole out square pies covered with piles of cold — uncooked — grated cheese. Known as Ohio Valley-style pizza, these crisp-crust pies come out of the oven with just a coating of tomato sauce and are then covered with fresh cheese and often pepperoni. Each bite is warm, cool and crunchy all at once.

So, someone forgot to put cheese on the pizza before putting it in the oven. Then they took it out and was like "oh shit, I'll just put the cheese on now and hope it melts."

And when they got called out for having cold cheese on warm pizza they were like "yeah, that's how we do it in Ohio. Specifically Ohio Valley. Fuck you, stop asking questions."

Pretty much how half of all new foods are invented.

There was one of these at the end of my street in Akron. I was all, “cool, a pizza joint I can literally walk to for lunch”, then the pandemic happened and the opening was delayed. I finally got to try it in spring ‘22, just to find out that this was their gimmick. I mean, it’s pizza, I’m not gonna turn it down if it’s offered to me but it’s gonna be at the bottom of my list of regional pizzas, above Altoona and St. Louis styles. I’ll just take the five-minute drive to Jet’s and get the way better Detroit style.

It appears a lot of people felt the same way. A different pizza joint opened in its place a couple of months ago.

Well known in pittsburgh.. really just tastes like a really shitty lunchable IMO. Every time im visiting the city, i grab a piece due to its regional uniqueness.. every time though, i immediately regret my decision.

Also, not sure if it is actually a thing, or if it is just a really weird restaurant, but just east of pittsburgh, theres a pizza restaurant that uses pie dough (like for apple pies) instead of pizza dough. They pair it with an extremely sweet tomato sauce. Was super weird

I don't know who they are, but I am going to find them and burn their place down while calling the police to deliver my humanitarian award.

I'm from Chicago, I lived in Pittsburgh for 7 years. Best pizza in Pittsburgh was Domino's.
