Gizzada, also referred to as pinch-me-round, is an indigenous pastry in Jamaican cuisine. The tart is contained in a small, crisp pastry shell with a pinched crust and filled with a sweet and spiced coconut filling. It bears semblance to Portuguese queijada, from which it takes its name. {{Cite web |date=2012-03-15 |title=FIFTY SWEET TREATS |url=https://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20120315/cook/cook5.html |access-date=2023-07-17 |website=jamaica-gleaner.com |language=en}} Gizzada was contributed by Portuguese Jews{{Cite web |date=2020-10-13 |title= Portuguese Jews of Jamaica |url= https://jewishmuseum.org.uk/2020/10/13/jews-in-jamaica/|access-date=2024-11-15 |website=jewishmuseum.org.uk |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2003-08-03 |title= Pieces of the Past- |url= https://old.jamaica-gleaner.com/pages/history/story0054.htm|access-date=2024-11-15 |website= old.jamaica-gleaner.com |language=en}}
