Chicken pizzaiola in Venice, ItalyBeef pizzaiola with potatoes and artichokes
Carne pizzaiola or carne alla pizzaiola (roughly translated as 'meat in pizza style'), sometimes referred to just as pizzaiola, is a dish derived from the Neapolitan and Apulian tradition that features meat (often less expensive cuts of beef) cooked with tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and white wine long enough to tenderize the meat. Most versions also include tomato paste, oregano, and basil.[1][2]
History
The history of the pizzaiola is somewhat uncertain, even if the origin is almost certainly Neapolitan.[3] The recipe has known a wide diffusion and has been the subject of numerous reinterpretations.
