Which Italian pizza includes mozzarella, prosciutto, mushrooms, olives, artichokes, and tomatoes?

Pizza capricciosa includes mozzarella, prosciutto, mushrooms, olives, artichokes, and tomatoes.

This Italian pizza is known for combining salty, savory, earthy, and acidic ingredients on a tomato-based pie. The usual toppings include mozzarella, prosciutto, mushrooms—often champignons—green and black olives, artichokes, and tomatoes. Some versions also add anchovies, so recipes can vary while retaining the characteristic ingredient combination.

The name capricciosa means “capricious” or “whimsical,” a reference to the varied assortment of toppings. It is often compared with pizza quattro stagioni because the two pizzas share many ingredients, including mushrooms, olives, artichokes, and cured meat.

The distinction is usually in presentation rather than the basic ingredient list. Quattro stagioni traditionally divides its toppings into separate sections representing the four seasons, while capricciosa generally combines them across the pizza. Pizza marinara is a frequent wrong answer because it is also a classic Italian style, but marinara traditionally centers on tomato, garlic, oregano, and olive oil and does not contain this assortment of toppings.
