Frequently Asked Questions About Pizza con cotto
What is pizza con cotto?
Pizza con cotto is an Italian-style pizza topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella and cooked ham. The word cotto means “cooked” in Italian, and the ham is usually prosciutto cotto, a mild, cooked ham rather than a dry-cured one.
What does cotto mean on pizza con cotto?
Cotto means “cooked” in Italian, so pizza con cotto refers to pizza topped with cooked ham. It distinguishes the dish from pizzas made with prosciutto crudo, the dry-cured ham that is often added after baking.
Is pizza con cotto the same as prosciutto pizza?
Not always: pizza con cotto specifically uses cooked ham, or prosciutto cotto. “Prosciutto pizza” can refer to a pizza topped with either cooked or dry-cured prosciutto, depending on the menu, so ask which type the restaurant uses.
Does pizza con cotto traditionally include mushrooms?
No, mushrooms are not essential to pizza con cotto; the classic version has tomato sauce, mozzarella and cooked ham. A ham-and-mushroom pizza is also common, but it is often listed in Italy as prosciutto e funghi.
Should the ham on pizza con cotto go on before or after baking?
For the usual version, put the cooked ham on pizza con cotto before baking so it warms with the cheese and sauce. Adding it after baking keeps the ham softer and less browned, so either method works if you prefer that texture.
Can I make pizza con cotto with store-bought dough?
Yes, store-bought pizza dough works well for pizza con cotto. Let chilled dough warm enough to stretch without tearing, add a thin layer of tomato sauce with mozzarella and cooked ham, then bake on a thoroughly heated tray or stone.
What toppings go well with pizza con cotto?
Mushrooms, artichokes and olives pair well with pizza con cotto and its mild cooked ham. Add toppings sparingly: watery vegetables can release moisture during baking and leave the center of the crust less crisp.
How should I store leftover pizza con cotto?
Refrigerate leftover pizza con cotto in a covered container rather than leaving it at room temperature. Reheat only the slices you plan to eat; prompt refrigeration is especially useful for a topping that includes both cooked ham and mozzarella.
What is the best way to reheat pizza con cotto?
A covered skillet over low-to-medium heat reheats pizza con cotto while keeping its base crisp and melting the mozzarella. An oven also works well; a microwave is convenient but tends to make the crust soft.
Can you freeze pizza con cotto?
Yes, you can freeze slices of pizza con cotto, wrapped individually to limit freezer exposure. Thaw them in the refrigerator before reheating for more even warming; the ham and mozzarella may have a slightly different texture afterward.

What is Pizza con cotto?
Pizza con cotto is an Italian-style pizza topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella and cooked ham. It is baked until the cheese melts and the crust turns golden, bringing together a savoury, mildly sweet and pleasantly soft topping. In Italy it is a familiar pizzeria choice; elsewhere, it works well as a casual lunch or dinner, served hot by the slice or shared at the table.
The crust supplies much of its energy, while the ham and mozzarella contribute protein; it provides 12.1 g of protein per 100 g. Pair it with a green salad for a fresher, lighter meal, or choose a modest portion if you want to keep the meal less filling.
