Fugazza (from Genoese: fugassa) is a common type of Argentine pizza, originating in Buenos Aires, that consists of a thick pizza crust topped with onions and sometimes olives.
A similar variant known as fugazza con queso or fugazzetta includes cheese along with the aforementioned ingredients.
[1] It is derived from a combination of Neapolitan pizza with Italian focaccia bread.
Banchero's pizza shop continues to sell fugazza to this day in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Boca, which historically served as a home to Genoese immigrants to Argentina.
[4] Figazza is a version of fugazza from Uruguay, where the main difference is the lack of cheese or any middle filling, also the portions are cut to the style of Uruguayan pizza, which is in rectangular pieces, and it can have additional topping of olives and bell peppers, a less common version of Uruguayan figazza is figazza con muzzarella, where mozzarella cheese is put on top of the onions, almost same ingredients of Argentinian fugazza but backwards order.
