€2-8Roman pizza bianca
Roman pizza bianca is a baked bread, not a "topped" pizza. It is made with soft wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and extra virgin olive oil. The dough is highly hydrated and baked at a high temperature, resulting in a crispy crust and a soft, airy interior with large holes. It can be eaten plain or filled, but it originated as an everyday food: breakfast, a snack, or alongside meals.

Origin story
Pizza bianca has been part of the tradition of Roman bakeries since at least the 19th century. It was the baker’s "test" bread: a piece of dough baked to check the oven temperature before baking the actual bread. Over time, it became a product in its own right, a symbol of the urban food culture of Roma.
