The Style

What Is Square-Cut, Tavern-Style Pizza?

Square-cut pizza — also called tavern-style or party-cut — is a thin, crispy pizza sliced into squares instead of triangles. The crust is rolled thin so it bakes up crackly, the toppings go edge to edge, and the square cut means every pie has two kinds of pieces: crispy corner squares and cheesy, sauce-forward center squares.

J. Burns’ has cut its pizza this way since 1965. The dough is made specially for us, and the style hasn’t changed in 60 years — because it hasn’t needed to.

Gluten-Free, Done Seriously

Two gluten-free crusts, available every day at all three shops: a rice flour crust in 10″ and 14″, and a cauliflower crust in 10″. They are prepared at their own dedicated station, separate from the regular dough, so we can serve guests with celiac disease and not just guests avoiding gluten by choice.

Good to Know

Pizza Questions, Answered

Thin, crispy, square-cut pizza — the style often called tavern-style — made the same way since 1965. Every pie starts with a dough made specially for us, gets topped edge to edge, and is baked until the edges crisp, then cut into squares instead of wedges.

They’re the same thing. Tavern-style (or party-cut) pizza is a thin, crispy pizza sliced into squares. At J. Burns’ it has simply been the house cut since 1965. You get crispy corner squares, cheesy center squares, and a pie that’s easy to share.

Yes — two gluten-free crusts, available every day at all three shops: a rice flour crust (10″ and 14″) and a cauliflower crust (10″). Both are made for guests with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, and nearly any topping can go on either crust.

The cauliflower crust is a gluten-free option made for guests avoiding wheat; it isn’t a vegan or keto claim. If you have specific dietary questions, call your shop and the crew will walk you through the ingredients.

Absolutely — pick a crust (original thin and crispy, gluten-free rice, or cauliflower) and load it from our topping lineup: pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, ground beef, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, banana peppers, black or green olives, pineapple, tomatoes, and extra cheese.
