Pizza bianca is an Italian style of pizza that is made without traditional tomato sauce. The name "bianca" means "white" in Italian, referring to its lack of red tomato-based ingredients. Instead, pizza bianca typically features a base of olive oil, salt, and sometimes garlic, with various toppings that can include cheeses like mozzarella or ricotta, vegetables, herbs, or cured meats.
In Rome, pizza bianca is commonly prepared as a simple flatbread topped with just olive oil, salt, and sometimes rosemary, served as a snack or sandwich base. In other regions, it can include a wider variety of toppings but always maintains its characteristic absence of tomato sauce.
