Texas-Style Pizza: The Honest, Useful Definition
Texas-style pizza is best understood as a regional influence, not one standardised crust.
Texas does not have one legally binding crust, and that is useful. Thin pies, pan pies, wood-fired dough, smoked meats, chillies, and border flavours all share the table. We name the choice, explain what balances it, and avoid assigning a single origin story where the evidence is really a crowded menu.
