Pizza is the name of an oven-baked, flat, usually round bread that is usually covered with tomatoes or a tomato-based sauce and often mozzarella cheese, with other toppings added according to region, culture or personal preference. While originating as a part of Neapolitan cuisine, the dish has become popular in many different parts of the world. A shop or restaurant where pizzas are made and sold is called a "pizzeria" (from Italian) although the phrase "pizza parlor" is also used in the United States.
Various toppings may be added, most typically:
sauce, although traditionally tomato-based, pesto, alfredo and barbecue sauce are also used;
cheese, usually mozzarella but also provolone, cheddar, or a blend of other cheeses;
herbs and seasonings such as basil, oregano and black pepper;
Clients can always ask to alter the ingredients of the chosen pizzas. Ingredients can be left out or added. If expensive ingredients are asked, an extra $0.25 will be added.
"Sicilian Pizza" refers to a pizza with the toppings baked directly into the crust. All pizza varieties can be baked Sicilian-style.
