The concept combines the traditional pizza base with sweet toppings, resulting in a baked dish that serves as a dessert. A dough, often similar to that used for savory pizzas, is typically topped with ingredients such as fruit, chocolate, nuts, and sweet sauces. For instance, a baked dough round might be covered with Nutella and sliced strawberries, or mascarpone cheese and caramelized apples.
This culinary innovation provides an alternative to conventional desserts, offering a warm, customizable option that is shareable and relatively simple to prepare. Its appeal lies in its adaptability to various tastes and seasonal ingredients. The practice of topping baked flatbreads with sweet components has roots in various cultures, although its modern iteration as a distinct dessert item has gained traction more recently.
