Pizza Funghi (Mushroom Pizza)

Pizza Funghi is a vegetarian Italian classic: a crispy, thinly baked pizza crust, flavorful tomato sauce, juicy sautéed mushrooms, and golden, melting mozzarella come together for an umami-rich delight. Enhanced with fresh parsley, herbs, and optionally sun-dried tomatoes or chanterelles, the pizza becomes a multi-faceted specialty. Simple, flavorful, clear in taste, and easily customizable — this is how to achieve authentic Mediterranean pizza enjoyment every day.
