There was a little Italian verity store around the corner from where I lived in Rome, New York. Every day after school, twenty five cents a slice. That was many years ago. It was made by DeBardino’s bakery. When they were in business, they have since closed after baking for over 100 years, I asked them how they got the crust tasting so good. They told me they never washed or cleaned the baking tins, never!

When we moved from Philly to Milwaukee, WI the only thing I missed was Corropolese tomato pie! We lived outside Norristown and EVERY Sunday visited the bakery for our pie. Thanks for the recipe! I plan to try it and make my adult kids very, very happy. They both grew up in the Norristown area and, believe it or not, have car-pooled round-trip to Philly just to pick up stacks of tomato pies and hot-tail it back to Wisconsin (along with bags of cheese steaks)!

I’ll try you tomato pie it sounds very tasty, and I was sooooo please to see the schiacciata con l’uva mentioned! As a Florentine I miss it very much, and I happy to report that in the Bay Area there is always a schiacciata con l’uva during the grape harvest season…. or at least there is one – seeds and all – in my home in Fairfax :-)

@Lori: I lived in Providence for a bit but never remembered seeing pizza strips. I do however remember an abundance of amazing Portuguese bakeries…and now I would love nothing more than fresh sweet bread! Hope you enjoy the recipe!

@Amanda: You raise a valid point, and I am counting down the days until I can make a Tomato Pie with some ripe Early Girls. I should also mention that if you’ve had the foresight to can a stash of tomatoes from last summer, those would do very well here.

HI KQED!
This is not the right time of year to publish this story/recipe. Tomatoes are not in season until late summer/fall here in KQED land.
This means the tomatoes you buy now have traveled many miles (fuel!), and they will simply not taste as good as they will later in the year.
Let’s feature recipes for produce that is in season here!
Thanks.

In Rhode Island, you can find this in most every bakery. They are known to me as pizza strips. I am looking forward to trying to make my own with your recipe. Thank you!
