pizzaer

Pizzaer is the plural form of pizza in Norwegian and Danish, used to refer to multiple pizzas. In culinary terms, a pizza is a dish featuring a flatbread base typically topped with tomato sauce and cheese, then baked. Toppings vary widely and can include vegetables, meats, herbs, and other ingredients.

Originating in Naples, Italy, in the 18th or early 19th century, pizza evolved from simple flatbreads into a dish defined by the use of tomatoes and mozzarella. The Margherita, with tomato, mozzarella, and basil, became emblematic after 1889. From there, pizza spread through Italy and later to the United States and other countries.

Global styles include Neapolitan, Roman, Sicilian, New York–style, Chicago deep-dish, and others. Neapolitan pizza emphasizes a soft, blistered crust and is traditionally cooked in a wood-fired oven at high temperature. Roman pizza is often thin and crisp; Sicilian pizza is typically thick and square. Dough composition, fermentation, and oven type influence texture.

Today pizza is a global staple with extensive regional variations and dietary options, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free crusts. In Norwegian and Danish, pizzaer is used to refer to multiple pizzas, a plural form distinct from the singular "pizza".
