Etymology

The word Pissalandrea comes from the Italian terminology Pizza all’Andrea, or Pizza d'Andrea.[7] It is considered to be the Genoa pizza. The etymology of the word seems to originate from the Latin piscis,[8] which in turn became pissalat (via peis salat, "salted fish" in Ligurian and Niçard).[9]

Description

The dough is usually a bread dough thicker than that of the classic pizza Margherita, and the traditional topping usually consists of caramelised (almost pureed) onions, black olives, and anchovies (whole, and sometimes also with pissalat, a type of anchovy paste).[10] This dish subsequently spread to the whole of geographic and ethno-cultural Liguria, that is to say between the rivers of Magra and Var.
