Pizza is a dish of Italian origin, where various toppings are cooked on top of a bread base—usually these toppings will include tomato and cheese.

## Pizza types[edit]

* Marinara is tomato sauce, olive oil, and mozarella with the addition of garlic and oregano.
* Romana is prepared with anchovies and oregano
* Viennese has on the top German sausage and oregano
* Capricciosa has mushrooms, artichoke, cooked ham, and olives.
* Quattro Stagioni (or four seasons) is split in to four quarters with different ingredients on each quarter.
* Quattro Formaggi (or four cheese) has mozarella, stracchino, fontina, and gorgonzola (although sometimes ricotta or Goat's cheese is used)
