From Roseland's long list of classic specialty pies(which are served on a fancy doily instead of plain paper) we chose the humdinger shrimp, mozzarella, garlic and prosciutto... We called it the "Derby slider" due to its top-heaviness. It's more like eating a shrimp open-faced sandwich than a slice of pizza. Unlike gralic bread, mozzarella is sprinkled sparsely, used more as a bonding agent than topping. 1, record 2, English, - shrimp%20open%2Dfaced%20sandwich
