Pizza ( , in Italian: ) (also occasionally called "pizza pie" in certain parts of the United States) is the name of an oven-baked, flat, usually round bread covered with tomato sauce and often cheese, with other toppings left optional. While originating as a part of Neapolitan cuisine, the dish has become popular in many different parts of the world. A shop or restaurant where pizzas are made and sold is called a "pizzeria" (from Italian) although the phrase "pizza parlor" is also used in the United States and Canada. Various toppings may be added, most typically: · sauce, traditionally tomato-based but pesto, alfredo, barbecue sauce, and occasionally even ketchup are also used; · cheese, usually mozzarella but also provolone or a blend of other cheeses; · herbs and seasonings such as basil, oregano, and garlic; · vegetables such as artichoke hearts, bell peppers, eggplant, olives, onions, and spinach
