White pizza (Italian: pizza bianca) is a style of pizza that does not use tomato sauce. The pizza generally consists of pizza dough, olive oil, garlic, cheese, salt and, sometimes, toppings including vegetables such as spinach, tomato and herbs.[1][2][3] A béchamel sauce is sometimes used in place of tomato sauce, and sliced tomatoes may be added to top the pizza.[4]
Pizza bianca, as served in Rome, is a plain yeast flatbread which can be split and filled with ingredients such as prosciutto, Parmesan cheese or rocket.[5]
