Pizza or pizza pie is the name of an oven-baked bread usually covered with tomato sauce and cheese, and often with other toppings. While it is a typical dish of Neapolitan cuisine, it has become an extremely popular dish all over the world. "Pizza" is the Italian word for "pie".
Various toppings may be added, most typically:
- sauce, traditionally tomato based
- cheese, traditionally mozzarella but often Provolone or a blend of other cheeses
- herbs and seasonings, like basil, oregano, or garlic
- vegetables such as tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms red onions, chillies or olives
- meat or seafood, such as sausage, (especially pepperoni or salami), ham, bacon, ground beef, anchovies, or chicken

In some pizza recipes the tomato sauce is omitted (termed "white pizza"), or replaced with another sauce (usually garlic butter but sauces can also be made with spinach or onions).
