gourmet pizza

Upscale flatbread dish

Gourmet pizza is pizza made with higher-quality or more sophisticated ingredients than standard pizzas—think prosciutto, arugula, truffle oil, or goat cheese instead of pepperoni and mozzarella.

The term appears on restaurant menus and frozen pizza packaging alike, sometimes reflecting genuine culinary ambition, sometimes just marketing: We ordered a gourmet pizza with fig and gorgonzola.
