There’s a secret pizza style found only in Rhode Island. Known as a pizza strip, red strip, or bakery pizza, this hyper-local flatbread pizza leads to quite the controversy since it’s topped with nothing but a thick layer of tomato sauce. That’s right—a pizza made without any cheese. Originally, Rhode Island bakeries had pizzas topped with cheese—a snack for customers looking for pastries and cakes. But the pizza was stored at room temperature and local health departments objected to the lack of refrigeration. However, without the cheese, there was less concern the food would spoil and the red strip was born. Borelli's Pastry Shop in Coventry, Rhode Island is thought to be the first bakery making the red strips.

Chicago-style pizza is pizza prepared according to several different styles developed in Chicago, widely referred to simply as deep dish pizza due to its cooking style. The pan in which it is baked gives the pizza its characteristically high edge which provides ample space for large amounts of cheese and a chunky tomato sauce. Chicago-style pizza may be prepared in deep-dish style and as a stuffed pizza. According to Tim Samuelson, Chicago's official cultural historian, there is not enough documentation to determine with certainty who invented Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. It is often reported that Chicago-style deep-dish pizza was invented at Pizzeria Uno in Chicago, in 1943, by Uno's founder Ike Sewell.

No one knows who created pecan pie, though this dessert recipe was first published in a St. Louis cookbook in 1898. Over time, pecan pie became popular in Texas and other parts of the United States.

The Detroit-Style Pizza legacy began at Buddy’s Rendezvous Pizzeria on Six Mile and Conant Street on Detroit’s eastside when in 1946 Gus Guerra and team made their first square-shaped pizza. Baked in forged steel pans borrowed from local automotive plants, they were able to produce a very light and crispy crust which is now known as Detroit-Style Pizza. This was the first known square pizza in the U.S. and now, more than 75 years later, the pizza style has become a national favorite.

Cajun and Creole food are both native to Louisiana and can be found in restaurants throughout New Orleans. One of the simplest differences between the two cuisine types is that Creole food typically uses tomatoes and tomato-based sauces while traditional Cajun food does not. However, the distinction runs much deeper into the history of New Orleans. An authentic Cajun meal is usually a three-pot affair, with one pot dedicated to the main dish, one dedicated to steamed rice, specially made sausages, or some seafood dish, and the third containing whatever vegetable is plentiful or available.

New York-style pizza is thin crust style pizza made with a characteristically large hand-tossed thin crust, often sold in wide slices to go. The crust is thick and crisp only along its edge, yet soft, thin, and pliable enough beneath its toppings to be folded in half to eat. Traditional toppings are simply tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. This style evolved in the U.S. from the pizza that originated in New York City in the early 1900s, itself derived from the Neapolitan-style pizza made in Italy. Today it is the dominant style eaten in the New York metropolitan area states of New York, New Jersey, and variously popular cities throughout the United States. Regional variations exist throughout the Northeast and elsewhere in the U.S.

A hoagie is a bread roll sandwich piled high with deli meats, cheese, fixings, and dressing, and is usually at least six inches long. The term ‘hoagie’ is most commonly used in Philadelphia and South Jersey, and has several possible origin stories. One explanation for the name is its popularity with the Italian immigrants who worked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, also known as ‘Hog Island’. The workers and their favorite sandwiches were known as ‘hoggies,’ which changed over the years to ‘hoagies’. An alternative explanation also has the name starting out as ‘hoggies,’ but this time because you had to be a hog to eat such a big sandwich.

A Dutch baby, sometimes called a German pancake, a Bismarck, a Dutch puff, or a Hootenanny, is a large American pancake. A Dutch baby is similar to a large Yorkshire pudding. Unlike most pancakes, Dutch babies are baked in the oven, rather than fried. They are generally thicker than most pancakes and contain no chemical leavening ingredients such as baking powder. They can be sweet or savory and can be served at any meal. The idea of a Dutch baby pancake may have been derived from the German Pfannkuchen, but the current form originated in the US in the early 1900s.

According to Eater, the dessert was originally a Texas invention and has been found in cookbooks as early as 1898. The pecan nut is native to the United States and was a central ingredient in Native American cooking. The word "pecan" comes from the Algonquin word "paccan", as per Zingerman's Bakehouse, and they were an essential part of the Native American diet.
