What does “Pizza strip” mean
A Rhode Island Italian-American bakery snack: a thick rectangle of bread dough smeared with a sweetened tomato sauce and served at room temperature, never with cheese. Sold by the strip at Federal Hill bakeries since the early 1900s, it's a fixture at Rhode Island birthday parties, wakes, and graduations.
