Still a little jiggly, but they are still warm. Oh, and I can confirm that shaking cloves of garlic in a mason jar is a good way to peel them.

It is a thin pie crust, so it isn't exactly what you posted. Oh, I forgot that I also added a quarter of a red onion finely chopped. It just seemed right.

If that congeals nicely you have hit a real home run.
There's a legendary place in Brooklyn called Spumoni Gardens that makes a similar pie but with mozzarella under the sauce.
The filling was quite tasty. I will be eating some tonight, so the flavors ought to marry real nicely. I have been looking for reasons to eat more tomatoes since I found the beefsteaks at the market a few weeks ago, so your post was a timely inspiration.
The crust broke apart, but the filling set up nicely. It was tasty.

Hmm, will try that next.
I live in Syracuse. My grandma was from Utica and my grandfather was from Rome. Tomato Pie was a family staple growing up. We used to get it from this garage in Utica. It is so hard to find anything close to the real deal anymore. I can't believe I came across this recipe, and on this site of all places!!! Thank you, August West. This is amazing! I will make it as soon as I can (might not be for a few weeks though) and let you know how it turns out.

I work in Utica (yes believe it or not there are still a few jobs amidst the rust.) I've heard the locals refer to this as "hot pie."
So I have been thinking about this pizza since I read the post. I decided to make some for lunch. My recipe is a little different, but pretty close. The dough is very hydrated so it's chewy like a focaccia. I sprinkle the dough with a little fresh rosemary and salt.
You can see there was a little collateral damage in the second picture, so I had to eat it.

That looks great, Chris. I am going to go with a thicker crust like you and Tony posted next time.

Looks fantastic!
Thanks guys. I have to say that I enjoyed it. I brought some into my wife's office and I have already had a request to make a few trays for one of their upcoming parties. That'll teach me.
