This list of pizzerias includes notable pizzerias and pizza chains. Pizza is a dish of Neapolitan origin and cuisine, made with an oven-baked, flat, generally round bread that is often covered with tomatoes or a tomato-based sauce and mozzarella cheese. Other toppings are added according to region, culture, or personal preference.
A shop or restaurant where pizzas are made and sold as main food is called a pizzeria (Italian pronunciation: [pittseˈriËa]).
