Grandma pies said to originate in New York, have one attribute that is highly likable (beyond all the ingredients), it's the fact that it can be made in a standard baking sheet. The surface of the pizza is filled with cheese and a variety of toppings, including sausage, chicken, beef and other meat, as well as black olives, tomatoes, pineapple, and other rich vegetables and fruits. There are two kinds of pizza: meat and fruit. There are many kinds of meat: chicken pizza, beef pizza, salmon pizza, bacon pizza, ham pizza, pineapple, blueberry and so on.
