Dayton-style pizza has a thin, crisp, salty crust, sometimes described as a "cracker crust", dusted on the bottom with cornmeal and topped with a thin layer of thick unsweetened sauce. Cheese and other topping ingredients are heavily distributed and spread edge-to-edge with no outer rim of crust, and the finished pizza is cut into bite-size squares. The style shares some characteristics with other Midwestern pizza styles, which tend to be thin-crusted and square-cut.
