Sfincione is Sicily’s answer to pizza—but with a twist that sets it apart from the classic Neapolitan version 🍕🇮🇹. It’s thick, fluffy, savory, and layered with bold flavors. Here’s what makes it special and how to make it at home:
🍞 What Is Sfincione?
Sfincione (pronounced sfeen-CHO-nay) is a rectangular, deep-dish pizza with a focaccia-like crust. It’s traditionally topped with:
- Anchovy and onion tomato sauce
- Grated pecorino or caciocavallo cheese
- Toasted breadcrumbs
- Oregano and olive oil
Unlike typical pizzas, Sfincione doesn’t rely on gooey melted cheese—it’s all about the umami-rich sauce and crispy topping.
