Blueprint: The Ultimate Boston-Style Supreme Pizza – Gluten-Free & Flavor-Packed
Introduction & Concept
Boston-style pizza is known for its thick, chewy crust, slightly crisp edges, and generous layers of toppings. Unlike New York-style’s thin, foldable crust or Chicago’s deep dish, Boston-style pizza falls somewhere in between, offering a sturdy, doughy base that holds up to heavy toppings.
This gluten-free version brings the iconic Boston pizza experience to a health-conscious audience, packed with bold flavors, a rich tomato sauce, and an overloaded supreme topping selection.
