Preparation
In the most traditional Italian pizza al taglio shops, such as pizzerie and bakeries, the pizza is often cooked in a wood-fired oven.[4] In today's establishments, electric ovens are also often used. The rectangular pizza shape[4] makes it easier to cut and divide the pizza to the buyer's desire, which is often distinguished by weight.[5] The dish is often eaten as a casual, takeaway dish that is eaten outside the restaurants where it is served,[3] such as in a piazza.[4]
Varieties
The simplest varieties include pizza Margherita (tomato sauce, cheese, and basil), pizza bianca (olive oil, rosemary and garlic),[4] and pizza rossa (tomato sauce only). Other typical toppings include artichokes, asparagus, eggplant, ground meat and onions, potatoes, prosciutto, salami, sausage, ground truffles, zucchini, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, Gorgonzola, anchovies, and black olives.
Outside Italy
This style of pizza is popular casual food in Argentina, Uruguay and Malta, where for many years it has been a common way for people to grab a quick snack or meal. Pizza al taglio shops are also appearing in the United States. In each country, the style of crusts and toppings may be adapted to suit their own cultures.
