    The pizza is known for its distinctive cold toppings which are added after the pizza is cooked. It was nicknamed “The Poor Man’s Cheesecake” in the 1940s. In 2018, DiCarlo said he did not remember why the pizza was originally prepared that way but speculated that it may have been to avoid burning the toppings. The style became a part of local cuisine in Ohio and West Virginia, and was replicated by several other chains. However, its method of preparation is polarizing, and it has been negatively compared to Lunchables.

    🤣😂🤣

        The crust is baked like normal, it’s just that the toppings are added afterwards. The comparison to lunchables is apt though, I’d only recommend it if you require pizza and the only other choices offer St Louis or Altoona styles.
