California-style pizza
Gourmet topped flatbread
California-style pizza is a variety that emerged from California cuisine in the 1980s, characterized by unconventional, often gourmet toppings on a thin crust.
Where traditional pizza uses tomato sauce and mozzarella, California-style might feature smoked salmon, goat cheese, arugula, or duck sausage.
The style emphasizes fresh, local ingredients and creative combinations over tradition: The menu had a California-style pizza with barbecue chicken and cilantro.
