Seafood Apizza

The people in Connecticut have their own unique pizza it’s called apizza. It has less cheese the normal pizza it’s coal-fired(due to rain I cooked instide) and also has a lot of clams on top so I thought I’d try it. The most unique thing is they have an oblong pizza. The other thing is the use of seafood toppings, I’m using clam, scallop and lobster meat. The cheese I used was burrata and Romano giving bite, salt and the melty factor. They also have as you can see a lot of flavor. So be like the folks in Rhode Island and have apizza. I hope you like it.
