Looking for a tomato-free alternative pizza recipe? Fugazza is an Argentine pizza topped with onions, olives, and olive oil, and then finished with Parmesan cheese. This is my take on the Argentine original using some Neapolitan dough I had sitting around. A version truer to the original would be thicker and more akin to a pan pizza, but this version is quick, easy, and very tasty also!
Fugazza (Argentine-Style Pizza)
This simple pizza, inspired by Argentine Fugazza, is subtly delicious thanks to the browned onions and optional green olives. It's the perfect choice if you want pizza but aren't in the mood for tomato sauce.

Servings: 3 12″ pizzas
I bought 15 pizza ovens to hands-on test.It’s a hobby, not an obsession! Here are the best pizza ovens.Equipment
- Home pizza oven (I used a Karu 2 Pro.)
- Pizza peel
- Stand mixer with dough hook attachment (or a regular mixing bowl if you don't have a stand mixer)
Ingredients
- 1 batch Neapolitan Pizza Dough prepared
For topping the pizzas:
- 2 Yellow onions sliced thinly
- 16 oz Low moisture mozzarella cheese grated
- 8 oz Pitted green olives (optional) halved
- Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- 2 oz Parmesan cheese grated
- Kosher salt
Seriously. I have a lot of pizza ovens.Let me show you the best after hundreds of hours testing. Read my in-depth pizza oven reviews!Instructions
- Begin by preparing the dough. Don't forget to remove it from the fridge 3 hours before cooking.
- Preheat your oven to 750-800°F, or use your home oven at 550°F with a pizza stone preheated for an hour.
- Stretch each of the three dough ball into roughly 12" rounds.
- For each pizza, drizzle the dough with olive oil, spread about a third of the cheese evenly, top with about a third of the onions evenly, add a third of the olives (if desired), and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake in the pizza oven for roughly 90 seconds while rotating to get desired browning. If using a home kitchen oven, this process will take longer—just keep an eye on the pizza and rotate as needed for around 4-5 minutes.
- Remove pizza from oven and finish with a good sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
