Pizza al Trancio has a thick, airy, focaccia-like crust that's crispy on the bottom, and it's usually baked in a pan at very high heat. It's known for having a generous amount of savory, thick tomato sauce, and lots of mozzarella and toppings.

The best part is that you can make this recipe, portion and freeze cookies in little balls, then bake them when you want them, a few at a time. I make batches of ~30 and pull them out when I want a snack, or sometimes, when I'm cooking something else, but the oven is hot. Even works on the grill:
