While there are different types and styles of pizza, every pizza consists of the same basic design: oven-baked, round and flat bread covered with tomato sauce and cheese and some other toppings (e.g., anchovies, lamb, chicken, fish, pineapple, etc.) depending on individual preference. Vegetarian and vegan versions of pizza can be made too. For vegetarians, no meat is used, and for vegans, no cheese and meat.
