These places don't really advertise as Greek right?

How does one tell the difference??

I remember someone telling me when I was at UConn that husky Pizza was Greek and that's why that person didn't like it.

Greek pizza is normally cooked in a greased pan. It kind of has a distinctive looking crust that is a bit more rounded and crispier than other styles.

I don't know if it's a widespread Greek pizza thing, but most (if not all) of the Greek pizza I've had from the northeast has their large pizzas cut into squares rather than wedges/slices.

I know two places in the central ct area, people's choice and George's pizza in Unionville, that cut it in squares...I found it wierd and not a huge fan tbh

A lot of Greek pizza places square cut their pizzas. I'm a fan of the center "crustless" pieces.

Hope I don’t get down voted here, but I’m Italian and do not like Greek pizza at all. Most of them put the tipping UNDER the cheese, and burn the cheese, and the crust (and sauce) have no salt. Just my opinion. And my old neighbor owned a pizza place by UCONN. never liked his pizza.

I guess I'm just saying is there a "Greek style" or just pizzerias owned by people of Greek descent?

Like I probably had it and just thought it wasn't great pizza. I liked husky Pizza I think but it has been a decade

Not many pizza places I would say I dislike. (Georges /olive bar is the only one it comes to mind that I think is overrated)

There is defiantly a "Greek style" pizza. It's a pan baked pizza and it's a little thicker than "New Haven" or "NY" style pizza. It's also not "charred" like brick oven pizzas.
