Pizza capricciosa is typically made with a thin crust and baked in a [[Oven|wood-fired oven]], though home recipes often use conventional ovens. While core ingredients include [[mozzarella]], [[ham]], [[Mushroom|mushrooms]], [[Artichoke|artichokes]], and [[Tomato|tomatoes]], some regional or modern variations may include [[egg]], [[Anchovy|anchovies]], or [[basil]]. The toppings are generally scattered more freely than in pizza quattro stagioni, giving it a more rustic and less symmetrical appearance. Traditional recipes in [[Italy]] often use cooked ham rather than [[Prosciutto|prosciutto crudo]], and fresh rather than canned mushrooms. |

Pizza capricciosa (Italian: [ˈpittsa kapritˈtʃoːza, -oːsa]; lit. 'capricious/whimsical pizza') is a style of pizza in Italian cuisine prepared with mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, mushrooms (usually champignons), green and black olives, artichokes, and tomatoes.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] A variant includes anchovies. Although pizza capricciosa has similar ingredients to pizza quattro stagioni, they are arranged differently. Pizza capricciosa is typically made with a thin crust and baked in a wood-fired oven, though home recipes often use conventional ovens. While core ingredients include mozzarella, ham, mushrooms, artichokes, and tomatoes, some regional or modern variations may include egg, anchovies, or basil. The toppings are generally scattered more freely than in pizza quattro stagioni, giving it a more rustic and less symmetrical appearance. Traditional recipes in Italy often use cooked ham rather than prosciutto crudo, and fresh rather than canned mushrooms.
