white pizza
No tomato flatbread
White pizza is pizza made without tomato sauce, typically using olive oil, garlic, and cheese—often ricotta, mozzarella, or both—as the base.
Toppings vary but commonly include spinach, mushrooms, or other vegetables.
The name distinguishes it from standard red-sauce pizza: I ordered a white pizza with spinach and garlic.
