flatbread pizza

Thin, crispy pizza

A flatbread pizza uses thin, unleavened or minimally leavened bread as its base instead of traditional pizza dough.

The crust is typically crispier and less chewy than conventional pizza, often rectangular or oblong.

Flatbread pizzas appear frequently on restaurant menus as lighter alternatives or appetizers: We split a flatbread pizza with arugula and prosciutto.
