Why is it called pizzetta and how does it differ from pizza?
The term "pizzetta" comes from the Italian word "pizza" which simply means "pie" or "flatbread." However, the "-etta" suffix denotes something smaller or more diminutive in Italian. The name "pizzetta" may sound like a call-back to a diminutive version of its larger counterpart, pizza, but it holds its own unique charm and flavour profile.
So, why the distinction? While both pizzetta and pizza share the same basic components of dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings, they differ in size and sometimes in preparation. Pizzetta is traditionally smaller in size compared to a standard pizza, making it perfect for individual servings or appetiser portions.
Pizzetta also comes with a thinner crust than pizza, resulting in a lighter and crispier texture. This allows for a higher ratio of toppings to crust which intensifies the flavour experience. Pizzetta toppings also vary from those typically found on the classic pizza, with a focus on unique combinations and inventive flavours tailored to its smaller size. While pizzetta shares similarities with pizza, its smaller size and distinctive characteristics set it apart as a delightful culinary treat with its own identity and charm.

Pizzetta Bread / Dough / Base
At the heart of every pizzetta is its delicious foundation: the pizzetta bread or pizzetta dough base. Unlike traditional pizza, pizzetta features a thinner and more delicate crust which allows for a delightful balance between crunchiness and chewiness. This thinner base provides the perfect canvas for showcasing unique and delicious flavours in every bite.
The dough used for pizzetta is hand-stretched with precision which ensures an even thickness throughout - every inch is perfect! This attention to detail results in a crust that is light and airy, yet strong enough to hold a generous portion of toppings without becoming soggy. Baked to perfection, the result is a base that is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and utterly mouth-watering.
Pizzetta Toppings
From classic combinations to innovative flavours, the possibilities are endless when it comes to topping a pizzetta.
Classic toppings like tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil are staples of traditional pizzetta - which ensures a timeless flavour profile that never disappoints. However, the beauty of pizzetta is its versatility which allows for endless experimentation with toppings to suit every palate.
From savoury options to indulgent combinations, there's something to tantalise every taste bud.
