Sardenaira (also known as pissalandrea, pizza all'Andrea,[1] piscialandrea, pizzalandrea,[2] pissadella[3] or sardenaira[4]) is a pizza dish, without cheese, from the Liguria region of Italy.[5] It is very similar to the pissaladière.[5][6][7][8] Although termed a pizza, some consider it more akin to a focaccia.[8]
In the city of Sanremo, in western Liguria, it is garnished with salted anchovies, local olives, garlic cloves, and capers.[6]
It is known as sardenaira or pizza all'Andrea, after admiral Andrea Doria (1466–1560), whose favorite food was the dish: a slice of bread with olive oil, garlic, and salted anchovy.[7][8]
The dish predates the better-known Neapolitan pizza.[7] Since the dish was created before the Columbian exchange, traditionalists do not add tomatoes.[7]
