White pizza explained

White pizza
Alternate Name:Italian: Pizza bianca (in Italian)
Country:Italy
Region:Rome, Lazio
Type:Pizza

White pizza (Italian: pizza bianca) is a style of pizza that does not use tomato sauce. Outside Italy, it generally consists of pizza dough, olive oil, garlic, cheese, salt and, sometimes, toppings including vegetables such as spinach, tomato, and herbs.[1] [2] [3] A béchamel sauce is sometimes used in place of tomato sauce, and sliced tomatoes may be added to top the pizza.[4]

Italian: Pizza bianca, as served in Rome, is a plain yeast flatbread which more closely resembles focaccia than typical cheese-topped pizza.[5] It can be split and filled with ingredients such as prosciutto, Parmesan cheese or rocket[6] and is typically served hot. In 2019 the government of Italy declared Pizza Bianca Romana alla Pala del Fornaio a traditional agri-food product of Italy.[7]
