The first thing you do is put tomato paste on the pizza base. Otherwise the topping won't stick.

 

As far as I'm concerned you can put whatever topping like on it after that.

 

Must have grated or shredded cheese over everything so it doesn't fall off when you lift the slice up to eat it.

 

Enjoy!

 

I don't really mind the Imams or the Rabbis putting their blessing on it but I can do without it.

Traditional Italian pizzas sold in Italy do have tomato on the base (comparing food options with what was available pre 1700 is a very unusual thing to do).

I was surprised at how simple they were in Italy ( not heaps of different things on each pizza) but they certainly did have tomato on the base.
The base was freshly handmade so tastes better of course than that from pizza chain shops.

We ate at a pizza restaurant in Rome................ the menu specified white pizza and red pizza.

White had no tomato

red had tomato.

White Pizza. Hmm. Would look a bit anaemic to me.

 

I guess not everyone can have tomato re allergies or what not.

 yes i heard some people can't eat tomato, i wonder if it's only when 'cooked' and becomes acidic?
 
 
on some pizzas i'll ask to swap anchovies (and or maybe pineapple) for fresh tomato, mmm  
Signatures suck.

Was the menu written in Italian?

No lace on my pizzas 🙂

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Real pizza (the modern version) has tomatoes as a tribute to the Italian flag and, at the time, the monarchy.

green (basil), white (mozzarella), and red (tomato)





The café I go to the most, has introduced mini pizzas, which are made by the owner.

The owner was taught how to make the bases by his friend, who was in turn taught by the guy who just won the world's best pizza maker award 🙂

Even third hand, it is pretty darn good.

He uses flour imported from Venice. It does make a difference to the base, to have it made by hand with a flour designed for pizza baking.
