This dish can be found in the city of Gaeta and all over the province of Latina, but lately, there are people that make it even in other regions.
This is basically a mix between a pizza and a cake where the inside of the pizza is filled with vegetables and many amazing things. It is usually cut in slices and the shape is rounded most of the time so that you can cut it like a cake.
