In the United States, Sicilian pizza is a thick, square-shaped crust with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce. The sauce is frequently placed on top of the cheese to ensure that the crust is fully cooked. This pizza was invented in Sicily by immigrants and was later called sfincione.

Sicilian-style pizza, which tops its sfincione with mozzarella, was born in Italian bakeries in New York City, where mozzarella was cheap and accessible. Sicilian-style pizza is popular among Italian Americans throughout the Northeast.

9. Pizza Capricciosa

This pizza is topped with mushrooms, artichokes, cooked ham, and mozzarella cheese (sometimes also with extra cheese). The name means “capricious” because one does not know what topping will be on the pizza until it has been ordered and the pizzaiolo has decided to use it. This probably dates back to the time when only a few ingredients were available, and people would say: “All’una capricciosa” (“At one capricious”) when they were invited to lunch at someone’s house.

8. Pizza Quattro Formaggi

Italian for “four kinds of cheese,” a pizza made with four different types of cheese: mozzarella, gorgonzola, taleggio and Parmigiano Reggiano (aged hard cheese). As might be expected from its name, four-cheese pizza differs in flavour and colour because each type of cheese has a different texture and taste.

7. New York Style Pizza

This is perhaps the oldest type of pizza in Naples, called “Pizza ‘e Mozzarella.” The first historical testimony dates back to 1738 when this kind of simple food was sold on the city’s streets by public mariners who had become popular cooks. It was also prepared for poor fishermen coming back from the sea to celebrate their return with friends and family. Pure simplicity!
