Pizza is a dish of Italian origin consisting of round, flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomatoes & cheese which is then traditionally baked in a wood-fired oven
Pizza (Italian: [ˈpittsa], Neapolitan: [ˈpittsə]) is a dish of Italian origin consisting of a usually round, flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and often various other ingredients (such as anchovies, mushrooms, onions, olives, pineapple, meat, etc.), which is then baked at a high temperature, traditionally in a wood-fired oven. A small pizza is sometimes called a pizzetta. A person who makes pizza is known as a pizzaiolo.
In Italy, pizza served in formal settings, such as at a restaurant, is presented unsliced, and is eaten with the use of a knife and fork. In casual settings, however, it is cut into wedges to be eaten while held in the hand.

    Recipe Spicy Mixed Mushroom Pizza (vegan)

    You could of course use just one type of mushrooms here if you wish but the mixed mushrooms do look more dramatic. You could also add cheese of your choice in which case I’d put it under the mushrooms so that the mushroom shapes still stand out. I love the way the individual mustard seeds are...

    Do You Prefer Your Pizza Plain or Loaded?

    In the wake of National Pizza Day, I'm once again reminded of a disconnect between what I like and what seemingly everyone else likes. When I order pizza, it's always with one topping: pepperoni.

    Pizza Places, What is Your Measuring Stick?

    I judge a pizza place by their pepperoni pizza. I like the sauce to be on the spicy side and the pepperoni to be quality. When I was in high school, there was a place that cubed the pepperoni and cut the pie into squares or close to it (the outer edges were triangular). I really liked the pizza...
