Pizza bianca is a type of flatbread originating in Rome, Italy.
It is a plain yeast flatbread which more closely resembles focaccia than typical cheese-topped pizza.
[1] It can be split and filled with ingredients such as prosciutto, Parmesan cheese or rocket[2] and is typically served hot.
[3] The mention of a pizza bianca mastunicola in 1666 in Italy was reported in a PDO file for the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana as a dough base coated with lard complemented with cheese and basil.
In 1903, Italian workers ate pizza bianca in the Old Port of Marseille.
