A pizza pie typically consists of a base, sauce, cheese, and toppings. The base is made from a type of bread dough, which is rolled out and shaped into a thin circle. The sauce is typically tomato-based, but variations exist, such as white pizza which uses a base of garlic sauce. The cheese is usually mozzarella, but other types of cheese such as cheddar, feta, and gorgonzola are also used. The toppings can include a variety of vegetables, meats, and sometimes seafood.
