About California Pizza

Originates from: USA
This is where they came from, or are apparently most popular currently. Let me know if there are any corrections if you know better.
Pizza Type: Meat

There are two types of base sauces which distinguish different types of pizza. Red, which normally means tomato or chill sauce, and white, which is often either olive oil, cheese or a cream sauce.
