in Italian: ['pit.tsa]) (also called pizza pie in the USA) is the name of an oven-baked, flat, usually round bread covered with tomato sauce and often cheese, with other toppings left optional.
While originating as a part of Neapolitan cuisine, the dish has become popular in many different parts of the world.
A shop or restaurant where pizzas are made and sold is called a "pizzeria" (from Italian) although the phrase "pizza parlor" is also used in the United States and Canada.
