Sardenaira

Sardenaira (also known as pissalandrea, pizza all'Andrea,[1] piscialandrea, pizzalandrea,[2] pissadella[3] or sardenaira[4]) is a pizza dish, without cheese, from the Liguria region of Italy.

[8] In the city of Sanremo, in western Liguria, it is garnished with salted anchovies, local olives, garlic cloves, and capers.

[6] It is known as sardenaira or pizza all'Andrea, after admiral Andrea Doria (1466–1560), whose favorite food was the dish: a slice of bread with olive oil, garlic, and salted anchovy.

[7][8] The dish predates the better-known Neapolitan pizza.

[7] Since the dish was created before the Columbian exchange, traditionalists do not add tomatoes.
