The story the reviews tell

Pizza bianca is Rome's answer to a blank canvas — a plain, yeast-driven flatbread that leans more toward focaccia's pillowy territory than cheese-draped pizza. Split it open while still hot and you've got a vessel ready for prosciutto, Parmesan, or peppery rocket. It's the kind of thing that proves you don't need toppings baked in to make something worth seeking out.

What makes this version distinct

Pizza bianca is a type of flatbread originating in Rome, Italy. It is a plain yeast flatbread which more closely resembles focaccia than typical cheese-topped pizza. It can be split and filled with ingredients such as prosciutto, Parmesan cheese or rocket and is typically served hot. In 2019 the government of Italy declared Pizza Bianca Romana alla Pala del Fornaio a traditional agri-food product of Italy.
