๐ Pizza Vocab
Pizza names can describe several different things: a regional baking tradition, a crust shape or texture, a specific topping combination, or even the way the pizza is sold. A Neapolitan pizza is known mainly for its dough and high-temperature baking style, while a Margherita is identified by its tomato, mozzarella, and basil combination. Detroit-style pizza is a rectangular pan pizza with a crisp cheese edge, while pizza al taglio is sold by the slice or cut piece, often by weight. Learning what part of the pizza each name describes makes restaurant menus much easier to understand.
