Sicilian pizza comes from Palermo, the capital of Sicily. It is called sfincione in mainland Italy, and sfinciuni in Sicily itself.

The way the Sicilian pizza is made varies from one province of the island to another, but usually the base is a thick crust of a rectangular shape. It’s often topped with herbs, onions, anchovies, tomatoes, hard cheese, and tomato sauce. The latter is sometimes placed on top of the toppings to prevent it from soaking into the thick dough.

In the Italian province of Siracusa, Sicilian pizza is slightly different from the classic one: it’s usually round in shape and resembles the Neapolitan pizza. In the province of Catania, potatoes, sausage, and broccoli can be added to the topping.
