Matzah pizza

Because Jewish law prohibits the consumption of leavened bread during Passover, some people use matzo as a substitute for traditional pizza crusts during the holiday.

During Passover, Jewish law prohibits the consumption of food items that are made with yeast or leavening agents.

[3] However, some food manufacturers now supply traditional pizza crusts that are made with kosher-for-Passover ingredients,[4] and some recipes suggest substituting chopped matzo for yeast dough.

[11][12][13] For example, chef Spike Mendelsohn suggests topping matzah pizza with figs and asparagus, peppers and feta cheese, or cherry tomatoes, olives, and rosemary,[14] while Martha Stewart recommends placing a fried egg on top of a matzah pizza.

[22][17] Because it has large Italian and Jewish communities, the term is also occasionally used to refer to the town of Massapequa, New York.
