Pizza's history traces back to ancient flatbreads, but the modern pizza, as we know it, originated in Naples, Italy, in the 18th or early 19th century. The addition of tomato sauce was a pivotal moment. Over time, regional variations and preferences led to a diverse array of toppings and styles. The 'Cannibale' variant, focused on meat, reflects a later development, likely influenced by North American preferences for heavily topped pizzas.

The Cannibale pizza is a savory explosion of meaty and cheesy goodness, dominated by the flavors of cooked meat and tomato, with a slight richness from the mozzarella.
The prominent flavors are savory and rich. The ground beef and sausage contribute a deep, meaty umami flavor. Pepperoni adds spice and saltiness. Ham provides a sweeter, smoky element. Tomato sauce offers a tangy counterpoint and a base of sweetness and acidity. Mozzarella cheese melts and binds the toppings, adding a creamy, milky flavor and texture. The crust provides a neutral base.
Premium Feature
Meat Quality
Use high-quality ground beef, sausage, pepperoni, and ham for the best flavor. Consider using Italian sausage for an authentic touch.
Sauce Consistency
Ensure the tomato sauce isn't too watery to prevent a soggy crust. Reduce the sauce beforehand if necessary.
Cheese Distribution
Distribute the mozzarella evenly to ensure proper melting and coverage across the pizza.
Pre-Cooking Meats
Consider pre-cooking the ground beef and sausage to render some of the fat and ensure they are fully cooked on the pizza. This will prevent a greasy pizza.
