I changed the recipe a little, but I'm still going to give it 5 stars...

What is the difference between tomato pie and pizza?<\/h3>\"Tomato pie\" can refer to several different dishes\u2014including pizza, in some cases. This recipe is for Southern-style tomato pie, which is made in a pie crust with fresh tomatoes, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and bacon.
But in other parts of the U.S., \"tomato pie\" is a regional pizza style<\/a>. Philadelphia tomato pie is known for its thick, square crust topped with chunky tomato sauce but rarely any cheese. In Trenton, New Jersey, tomato pie is a type of pizza that has a round, thin, crust with cheese in the middle and sauce on top. \r\nWhere did Southern tomato pie originate?<\/h3>Tomato pie came about as a great way to use up an abundance of summer tomatoes, pantry staples and one of a Southerner's favorite ingredients: mayo. For more classic dishes from the American South, check out these iconic Southern comfort food recipes<\/a>. \r\n
Can you freeze tomato pie?<\/h3>We don't recommend freezing this tomato pie because it has a high water content. Instead, wrap any leftovers and store them in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. You can reheat tomato pie in a 350\u00b0 oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.
How can I make this Southern tomato pie more easily?<\/h3>If you're looking to make this tomato pie recipe more quickly, you can use a pre-made crust, or store-bought puff pastry or biscuit dough instead of a homemade crust. (Here are the best pre-made pie crusts<\/a>, according to our Test Kitchen.) You can also use canned tomatoes, and different types of cheese or herbs, depending on what you have on hand.
