Trenton tomato pie or New Jersey tomato pie is a type of circular thin crust pizza named after Trenton, New Jersey. In this style of pizza, the mozzarella and toppings are placed on the crust first, with tomato sauce on top.
Joe's Tomato Pie (now defunct), which opened in 1910, was first restaurant to serve Trenton-styled tomato pie. Papa's Tomato Pies, whose proprietor learned the trade at Joe's, was opened two years later in 1912. The Trenton region is home to both the two oldest currently operating New Jersey tomato pie restaurants in the United States, Papa's and De Lorenzo's.
