White pizza
Pizza without tomato sauce
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White pizza or white pie is a style of pizza that does not use tomato sauce.[1] The pizza generally consists of pizza dough, olive oil, garlic, cheese, salt and, sometimes, toppings including vegetables such as spinach, tomato, and herbs.[2][3][4] A béchamel sauce is sometimes used in place of tomato sauce, and sliced tomatoes may be added to top the pizza.[5]
