Pizza

Pizza is a popular dish originating from Italy, typically consisting of a round, flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and various other ingredients. It is baked in an oven, traditionally at high temperatures. The basic form of pizza includes a crust, which can vary in thickness and style, and is often topped with a sauce, most commonly tomato sauce, followed by cheese, such as mozzarella, and a variety of toppings that can include meats, vegetables, and herbs. Pizza can be served in slices or as a whole pie and is commonly associated with informal dining and fast food. However, it has also become a versatile meal option that can be adapted to include various regional flavors and dietary preferences.
