A classic Italian pizza variety, pizza patatosa is a type of potato pizza that is traditionally topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and potatoes. Prior to arranging them onto the pizza base, the potatoes are cut into wedges or thin slices, then combined with olive oil and aromatic herbs such as rosemary or thyme, which give the dish a lovely flavor and fragrance.

There are numerous versions of this pizza variety across Italy, from those that call for fried potatoes or mashed potatoes instead of baked ones, to those that use a plain white pizza as a base. In Italy, potato pizza can be found in various shapes, including circular, oblong, or rectangular.
