Pizza is a popular Italian dish that consists of a round, flat base of dough topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and a variety of toppings.
The dough is usually made from wheat flour and water, and can be flavored with herbs and spices. The toppings can include a wide range of ingredients such as vegetables, meats, seafood, and herbs. Pizza is typically baked in an oven and served in slices.
It is a popular food worldwide and comes in many different styles and variations, such as Neapolitan, Chicago-style, and New York-style pizza.
