Square-pan pizza is a different proposition from the round kind: cheese is usually laid right to the edges of the pan, caramelising into a crisp, deeply flavoured rim around a soft, airy base. That density means a square portion eats heavier than it looks, so it pays to order less than you would with round pizzas when feeding a group. The corner pieces are the prize, and on a base this thick, simpler topping combinations tend to shine.
For reviewers in Takanini, the crisp-outside, soft-inside squares at Square Pizza have done what few pizzerias manage — converted self-declared non-pizza-fans.
