 The Italian dish of "pizza fritta" (plural "pizze fritte") originates in Napoli, and is usually made by frying a disk of pizza dough before applying toppings and serving.Alternatively, the fillings may be enclosed in a pocket of dough like a calzone, which is then fried; this is known as a panzerotto.Frying allows one to prepare a pizza without a pizza oven, for example from a street food cart where an oven is impractical.
