In Japan, it is called pizza, but if you write it faithfully to the original Italian pronunciation, it is called pizza. The origin of the word is unknown. A typical Neapolitan pizza is made by kneading flour, live yeast, salt, sugar, olive oil, etc. to make dough, spreading tomato sauce on the dough, topping it with oregano, mozzarella cheese, and anchovies, sprinkling tomatoes with the skin and seeds removed, drizzling with olive oil, and baking in a baking oven. The pizza with the fewest toppings is the sailor's pizza, which is topped only with oregano and tomato sauce. The pizza with the most toppings is the four seasons pizza, which is topped with four types of ingredients selected from clams, mussels, boiled octopus and squid, anchovies, ham, salami, mushrooms, black olives, and artichokes, taking into consideration the color of the toppings. Originally a food of central and southern Italy, it is now popular not only throughout Italy but also around the world. In Italy, pizza is a common food eaten as a single item at pizza shops called pizzerias, and is not served in ordinary restaurants. [Nobuo Nishimura] "Pizza Encyclopedia" by V.

日本ではピザともよばれるが、イタリア語の原音に忠実に表記すればピッツァとなる。語源は不明。代表的なナポリ風ピッツァは、小麦粉、生(なま)イースト、塩、砂糖、オリーブ油などを練って生地(きじ)をつくり、生地の上にトマトソースを塗り、オレガノ、モッツァレラチーズ、アンチョビーをのせ、皮と種(たね)を除いたトマトを散らし、オリーブ油をかけて天火で焼いたもの。いちばん具の少ないのは水夫風ピッツァで、オレガノとトマトソースをかけただけのもの。もっとも具の多いのは四季のピッツァで、アサリ、ムール貝、ゆでたタコとイカ、アンチョビー、ハム、サラミ、マッシュルーム、黒オリーブ、アーティチョークなどから、色合いを考えながら4種類を選んでのせたものである。 もともとは中・南部イタリアの食物であるが、いまではイタリア全土はもとより世界中に普及している。ピッツァはイタリアでは、ピッツェリーアとよばれるピッツァ屋で単品で食べる庶民的な食べ物で、普通のレストランでは出さない。 [西村暢夫] 『V・ブォナッシージ著『ピッツァ大事典』(1984・小学館)』 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
