Pizza quattro stagioni (lit. 'four seasons pizza'), also called pizza 4 stagioni, pizza alle quattro stagioni or simply la quattro stagioni, is a style of pizza in Italian cuisine that is prepared in four sections with diverse ingredients, with each section representing one season of the year. Artichokes represent spring, tomatoes and basil represent summer, mushrooms represent autumn, and prosciutto and olives represent winter. It is a very popular pizza in Italy, and has been described as a "classic", "famous", and "renowned" Italian pizza. It is a variant of pizza capricciosa.
Preparation
Pizza quattro stagioni is typically prepared using a tomato sauce and cheese. It is most often made by adding artichokes, tomatoes, basil, mushrooms, prosciutto, and olives to four separate sections of the pizza. Other ingredients may also be used. Fresh-cooked or canned artichoke hearts may be used.
Some of the topping ingredients can be partially oven-dried so they do not make the pizza soggy. Baking it on a pizza stone can also prevent sogginess. The pizza may be finished with olive oil drizzled atop the pizza. It can be sliced into wedges or into its four sections. Pizza quattro stagioni can be vegetarian if prosciutto is substituted by a vegetarian option.
