Pizza Marinara, Pizza Margherita, and Pizza Margherita extra are the three variations of Pizza neapolitan.

#4. Greek Pizza

If you think this pizza was invented in Greece, then don't be fooled by the name, it has no relations with Greeks. The pizza was invented by Greek immigrants who migrated to America and was made a part of Italian Pizza. The pizza has its own rules, and you'll find the crust chewier and puffier.

#6. The Tomato Pie

As you can assume from the name, you're going to get a treat of tomatoes if you order this pizza.

The pizza is filled with tangy tomato gravy over a crispy crust.
