What Is White Pizza?

White Pizza: Love It or Hate It?

June 15, 2010

This morning, we were gushing over photos from San Francisco's Golden Glass wine tasting — especially the incredible Italian dishes like Flour + Water's white pizza with pancetta. In case you aren't familiar with the term, white pizza (pizza bianca in Italian) refers to pizza that contains no sauce, just a slathering of cheese with other toppings. While I can think of a few people who hate it, I say there's a time and a place for it next to the original. What say you?

pink pirate, we have a few good pizza shops nearby so I have never made it. But via a quick google search, I found a recipe by Emeril that looks pretty good:http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/roasted-garlic-white-pizza-with-garlic-sauce-recipe/index.html

Nah, it's too rich for my tastes.

It's one of the few things I miss about eating dairy... I always used to order my pizza with no sauce :)

Depends on my mood, but I can definitely get in the mood for white pizza! Especially if there's big chunks of broccoli or spinach on it with garlic. Oh yum.
