Deep fried pizza (Italian: pizza fritta) is an Italian dish consisting of a pizza that, instead of being baked in an oven, is deep fried, resulting in a different flavour and nutritional profile. This technique is known in both Italy and Scotland, but there are numerous differences between the Italian and Scottish variants, which probably developed independently.
