New Haven's "White Pizza" (1980), "Stuffed Pizza" (1969)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   OED doesn't have "white pizza."  OED doesn't have "stuffed pizza."  I don't know what those editors eat, but it can't be much.
   This is what the full-text NEW YORK TIMES has.  New Haven isn't that far from New York.  The cites, however, are years late.  I wouldn't be surprised if the "pizza" articles in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE beat the NEW YORK TIMES coverage of New Haven.


   16 February 1983, NEW YORK TIMES, "The Pizza Trend in America" by Florence Fabricant, pg. C1:
   The "white pizzas" without tomatoes sold at places like Ray's on Prince Street, Dean & DeLuca and DDL and the "pizza blanca" popular in Rome share a common inspiration.  Another kind of white pizza is the white clam sauce pizza, which many people associate with Sally's, a restaurant in New Haven.  It is also made at Tomasso's in the Italian North Beach area of San Francisco and, for the last two years, in New York at Aiello's Pizza Emporium on Second Avenue and 32d Street.

   2 January 1980, NEW YORK TIMES, pg. C1:
   ...in New Haven, you can find a version of "white pizza," a thick, yeasty dough covered with white clam sauce.

   19 March 1969, NEW YORK TIMES, pg. 35 ad:
   Eat yourself down to a size ten by giving up stuffed pizzas for Breakstone Yogurt.
