artisan pizza
Wood-fired gourmet flatbread
Artisan pizza is pizza made with attention to traditional craft—hand-stretched dough, quality ingredients, wood-fired ovens.
The term distinguishes small-batch or restaurant pizza from mass-produced chains: The new place downtown serves artisan pizza with locally sourced toppings.
Like many "artisan" labels, it can be genuine craft or marketing buzzword.
