10th place. Pizza 4 seasons





The trick is pizzas, as you might guess, in the “seasons.” According to the original idea:

1. Spring - artichokes;

2. Tomatoes or basil - summer;

3. Gibs - autumn;

4. Ham, prosciutto and olives - winter.

Although today there are a great many variations for filling the “seasons” of the year.

9th place. Hawaiian pizza (pineapple pizza)



Here comes the pizza that sparked the great social media wars. There were so many memes and jokes associated with her. Some people considered it the most terrible dish on the planet, while others, on the contrary, fiercely defended pineapples. However, in 2014, Time magazine included Hawaiian pizza in its list of the "thirteen most important pizzas of all time."

It was first prepared in 1962 at the Satellite restaurant in Ontario, Canada. The creator's name was Sam Panopoulos. It was he who decided that ham, pineapple and cheese complement each other perfectly.

8th place. Pizza Capricciosa





Pizza Capricciosa was invented in the restaurant of the same name in Rome in 1937. In many ways it resembles 4 Seasons Pizza. Its filling includes: baked ham, mushrooms, artichokes, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.

7th place. Calzone or "closed pizza"



A calzone is essentially a pizza-flavored pie. The word literally translates from Italian as “stuffed envelope.” The history of the dish goes back more than 200 years and is still very popular today. However, in our area it is not ordered so often. In the authentic recipe, sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella are placed in the calzone. And today the filling can be almost anything. Even with fruit!

6th place. Neapolitan pizza



Neapolitan pizza is tomatoes, a lot of cheese and basil leaves. A simple yet perfect mix! And it sounds like the same Margherita pizza. That's right, only Margherita is a type of Neapolitan pizza. The difference is in the sauce. "Margherita" is made with San Marzano tomatoes from the southern slope of Vesuvius and buffalo mozzarella, and Neopolitan marinara is made with the tomato sauce of the same name with garlic, oregano and olive oil.

5th place. Pizza with seafood



The main feature of this pizza is its delicate milk-cheese sauce, which goes well with shrimp, mussels and other seafood. In general, the recipe allows your imagination to run wild.

3-4 place. Pizza "Diablo"



Diablo includes a wide variety of sausages (Bavarian, Vienna, pepperoni), soft mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Well, the main feature is the Mexican jalapeno pepper.

3-4 place. Pizza "4 cheese"



And here is the most cheesy pizza. As the name suggests, we have 4 varieties of it here: mozzarella, gorgonzola, fontina and parmesan. This is a classic combination. But today other non-Italian cheeses are also added to pizza. It is believed that the type of pizza originated in the Lazio region at the beginning of the 18th century.

2nd place. Sicilian pizza



Sicilian pizza or "sfinciuni" has a very long history, full of legends. Actually, almost all “old-style” pizzas have their own myth. Therefore, it is difficult to say when it was invented and by whom. The only thing we know is that her homeland is Sicily, and the main character of the recipe is anchovies or sardines.

1st place. Pizza "Margherita"



And here is the legendary Margherita pizza. Everyone has heard the legend of how she was born. It is believed that its creator is Raffaele Esposito. He created this simple dish from "what he had" for the Italian Queen Margaret of Savoy in 1889. The cook thought he would fail because this was a poor man's dish. But she really liked it!

As a token of gratitude, the queen sent a letter of compliments to the chef. Raffaele was so proud that he named the new dish after her - "Margherita". After this, a decree was issued that pizza with the royal name could only be baked in the palace - for this they even built a special oven, which is located in the residence. However, despite the ban, a new type of pizza began to be prepared in almost all local pizza shops.

As a result... the simplest and most understandable pizza is still the most popular not only among ordinary eaters, but also among gourmets.
