Pizza is a popular dish of Italian cuisine that has become widespread around the world. It consists of a usually round, flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and various other ingredients baked at a high temperature, traditionally in a wood-fired oven. The following is a list of notable pizza varieties:

Varieties of Pizza

Neapolitan Pizza

Neapolitan pizza is the original pizza from Naples, Italy. It is made with simple and fresh ingredients: a basic dough, raw tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and olive oil. No fancy toppings are allowed!

Margherita Pizza

Pizza Margherita is a type of Neapolitan pizza made with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, salt, and extra-virgin olive oil. It is widely attributed to baker Raffaele Esposito, who created it in honor of the Queen of Italy, Margherita of Savoy.

Chicago-Style Pizza

Chicago-style pizza is a deep-dish pizza developed in Chicago. It has a high edge and a thick crust, with ingredients layered in reverse order: cheese, fillings such as sausage or vegetables, and then topped with a chunky tomato sauce.

New York-Style Pizza

New York-style pizza is characterized by its large, foldable slices and crispy outer crust. It is traditionally hand-tossed and features a light layer of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Sicilian Pizza

Sicilian pizza is a thick-crust or deep-dish pizza originating from Sicily, Italy. It is often rectangular, with a spongy, bread-like base, and is topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and other ingredients.

Greek Pizza

Greek pizza is a style of pizza crust and preparation where the crust is typically thicker and puffier than traditional thin-crust pizzas. It is baked in a pan rather than directly on the bricks of the pizza oven.

California Pizza

California-style pizza is known for its unusual ingredients, such as barbecue chicken, artichoke hearts, and goat cheese. It is a fusion of Italian thin crust and New York-style pizza.

Hawaiian Pizza

Hawaiian pizza is a pizza topped with pineapple, ham, and sometimes bacon. It is a controversial pizza variety due to the sweet and savory combination.

Detroit-Style Pizza

Detroit-style pizza is a rectangular pizza with a thick, crisp crust and toppings such as pepperoni and mushrooms. It is traditionally baked in a square pan.
