Pizza is a dish of Italian origin consisting of round, flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomatoes & cheese which is then traditionally baked in a wood-fired oven
Pizza (Italian: [ˈpittsa], Neapolitan: [ˈpittsə]) is a dish of Italian origin consisting of a usually round, flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and often various other ingredients (such as anchovies, mushrooms, onions, olives, pineapple, meat, etc.), which is then baked at a high temperature, traditionally in a wood-fired oven. A small pizza is sometimes called a pizzetta. A person who makes pizza is known as a pizzaiolo.
In Italy, pizza served in formal settings, such as at a restaurant, is presented unsliced, and is eaten with the use of a knife and fork. In casual settings, however, it is cut into wedges to be eaten while held in the hand.

    Pizza dough

    Every time I make pizza at home I have a problem getting the crust light and crispy.

    Vegan pizzas?

    I'm new to dairy alternatives. Has anyone discovered a good vegan pizza? I hear that the problem with vegan cheeses is that they don't melt. I'd love to find a tasty vegan pizza, or know of a good melty cheese so that I could make my own. Or do you simply have to forgo the 'cheese' altogether?
