It's real. Almost every Italian bakery in the state of RI has them. They're not bad for party/drinkin food for a crowd because they are best at room temperature. The profile is a heavily spiced paste like tomato sauce and a prevailing flavor of olive oil, sometimes with a tiny bit of inferior parmesan cheese on top. If it's a decent bakery, with decent dough and they use good ingredients, they're pretty good, because you can clearly taste the few ingredients present without any delicious melty cheese hiding any imperfections. If its poor, its really really noticiably bland and terrible. That and theres pizza Chips. I can't really explain those, you'd have to see them. Like room temp thin small palm sized disc shaped lightly sauced crisp dough pizza-esq things, usually sold in a cellophane bag.

The trick is to not think of it as pizza. The name is a misnomer. It’s just crispy bread with a flavorful red sauce on top, and it’s delicious. Simple, but satisfying, and an easy party food because you can buy a shitload of them for cheap.
