Sicilian pizza
Sicilian Pizza
Sicilian pizza (pronunciation: /sɪˈsɪliən piːtsə/) is a type of pizza that originated in Sicily, Italy. Unlike the more familiar Neapolitan pizza, it is typically rectangular, with a thick crust and topped with tomatoes, onions, anchovies, and herbs.
Etymology
The term "Sicilian pizza" in the United States often refers to a type of pizza with its origins in Sicily. In the Sicilian language, pizza is known as "sfincione", which translates to English as "thick sponge". The word is derived from the Latin word "spongia", meaning sponge.
Ingredients
Sicilian pizza is known for its thick, bread-like crust, which can be up to an inch thick. The crust is often topped with a simple tomato sauce, onions, anchovies, and herbs such as oregano and basil. Some variations may also include cheese, although this is not traditional in the original Sicilian version.
Variations
There are many variations of Sicilian pizza, both in Sicily and around the world. In the United States, for example, a common variation is the "Sicilian-style" pizza, which is typically a square pizza with a thick crust and is often topped with cheese and a variety of other toppings.
