This is a classic Italian pizza.

My family is Italian and a tradition that helps keep us connected to Italy is making pizza! My great grandmother lived in Italy until around 1930 when she came to America. Her way of remembering and honoring where she came from was cooking traditional Italian meals. When my grandmother was born it became a tradition to get the whole family together and make pizzas every Christmas.  My great-grandmother taught my whole family about pizza making and even how to make the dough! Food is a big part in keeping culture or traditions alive, and while we have been slacking in the last few years its always a blast!
