About the dish

Pizza di scarola is one of the most popular Neapolitan dishes, but despite the name, it is not a typical pizza, but more of a savory pie known as torta salata . It consists of a delicious filling made with escarole, garlic, black olives, capers, anchovies, pine nuts, and raisins, placed between two layers of dough, then baked until golden brown. Pizza di scarola is traditionally associated with Christmas Eve, but delicious as it is, the dish is typically enjoyed throughout the year.
