An Italian white pizza menu: the third in a collection of pizza restaurant menus from Maremma in Italy. A place loved by Italians for their weekend getaways and summer vacations, but as yet undiscovered by English or American visitors to Italy.
Italian white pizza is pizza without the covering of tomato-based sauce before the toppings are added. In this pizza menu, the Pizzeria Ristorante La Lanternina 2 on the seafront at Pratorantieri, has chosen to use "schiacciata" as the base of their white pizzas.
Schiacciata in Tuscany is a type of "foccacia", an oven baked flat bread seasoned with olive oil and salt. Before baking, the surface of the dough is liberally indented - usually with your knuckles - forming its characteristic surface "holes" when cooked. We eat it sliced open and filled with hams, salami and cheese etc, but it makes great pizza too! The schiacciata of Grosetto in Maremma is registered as "i Prodotti agroalimentari tradizionali italiani" - one of Tuscany's traditional Italian food products.
