Pizza with tomatoes - 110 cooking recipes

The birthplace of this most popular food in the world is Naples. This sun-soaked city is home to the best tomato pizza recipes. The simplest version with tomato sauce and cheese won over even the wife of the Italian king, spoiled by delicacies, and was named after her – Margherita. There are an incredible variety of types of pizza: vegetable, meat, cheese, seafood and even dessert. This Italian is not obstinate and allows a democratic attitude towards her ingredients, so it is very easy to prepare at home from available products.

But in order to be called classic, it requires four components: olive oil, basil or oregano, tomatoes and mozzarella. Tomatoes are often added not only fresh, but also dried. The base must certainly be thin, but the shape can be different. The signature variety in Padua is rectangular, and southerners eat calzones - a closed pizza in the shape of a crescent, as if a traditional flatbread was folded in half with the filling inside. It is also customary to sprinkle the finished dish with grated parmesan. A special round knife is used for cutting. Making pizza is like visiting Italy, touching its traditions and great culture. Buon appetito!
