It’s a real thing, but that doesn’t make it right.
I think it may be a Mid-Atlantic thing. (I grew up in Maryland and loved it and was surprised when people from other places didn’t know it by name.)
White pizza has a white sauce of some sort on pizza dough. Cheezy Bread has no sauce and is usually on breadsticks, not pizza dough.
Can’t you and your roomie just order separate pizzas, each to your own liking?
Ooh! A roomie feud! Did you put a white piece of tape down the center of your place yet?
I think it could be either. Could you either send some to dracoi or post a pic?
Two for 12 dollars on Thursdays… and add a 2 liter bottle of Coke for just a dollar more!!!
Pathos!
Pathos!
Fugazza is an awesome pizza, onions cheese blue cheese, no tomatoes and if you eat it listening to Fugazi, it just makes it more complete.
This. When I was in Naples (and other parts of Italy) pizza did not necessarily have red sauce or tomatoes on it.
My local pizza place has certification from the VPN Association (Association of Vera Pizza Napoletana) or the Association of True Neapolitan Pizza. They call it pizze bianche (white pizza). You lose. And I win as I’ve decided we’re having pizza for dinner.
One of my favorite pizzas is eggplant, spinach, onion, mozzarella and garlic. Definitely a “white” pizza.
With those first two ingredients, more like ‘white death’ IMO. :eek:
Your roomie is wrong about tomatoes – tomatoes are DELICIOUS! Therefore I declare him/her wrong about everything else. Why didn’t you screen your potential roommates better?
I’d call it pizza, based on the fact that I bought pretzel crust pizza from Little Caesars. It has cheddar cheese sauce and is topped with pepperoni and four types of shredded cheese. Not a drop of tomato sauce, but it was topped with the requisite meat and cheese. It was flat and cut in slices, so, pizza it is.
Whether you can call Little Caesars “pizza” should be a debate for another thread. 
Exactly. Of course, it’s pizza. And, no, pizza doesn’t even need sauce. Or cheese. One of the best pizzas I’ve had is an Italian-style potato and rosemary pizza (pizza con patate), with thinly sliced potatoes, rosemary, olive oil, and the version I had had some cheese (that’s not even required.) I know it sounds like carb overload, but it’s delicious. This week I had a white pizza from a fantastic Neapolitan-style pizzeria which included peas and asparagus on it. (See here for pictures and the various red and white pizzas they offer.) My absolute favorite pizza in the world is the Rosa from Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix. It has pistachios, red onions, rosemary, and parmsean, and is finished with olive oil. The bread is the soul of pizza.
Is chicken al fredo pizza considered a white pizza?
Thirded.
I live in Italy and pizza bianca (white pizza) is totally a thing and some pizzerias with a large selection of topping even have sections of the menu devoted to them.
Garlic bread I’ve never seen in Italy. White “sauce” on pizzas - I just do. not. want. to. know.
Grazie.
Nah, we’ve had them in New England too by that name since the mid-80s at the latest.
But yes, the OP’s roomie is right, it’s a white pizza.
Yeah, some places do something like an alfredo or similar white type of sauce on them. I don’t like those kinds of white pizzas. I like the ones that are sauceless.
