From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pizza capricciosa (Italian: [ˈpittsa kapritˈtʃoːza, -oːsa]) is a style of pizza in Italian cuisine prepared with mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, mushrooms (usually champignons), green and black olives, artichokes, and tomatoes.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] A variant includes anchovies. Pizza capricciosa was invented in the restaurant La Capricciosa in Rome in 1937, from which it gets its name.[a][8]

Notes
- Note that while capricciosa means lit. 'capricious or whimsical' in Italian, the pizza was named after the restaurant La Capricciosa in Rome rather than the pizza being named capricious or whimsical itself.
