According to my Italian Culinary dictionary:
PIZZAIOLA (ALLA): A term used to describe stews and sauces made with tomatoes, capers, oregano and anchovies.
However, when I was growing up and my grandmother made anything pizzaiola it was in the style of pizza ie: tomatoes and oregano. Maybe she left out the capers & anchovies because I'd have spit them out. Now I'd want double capers!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> She used to make this yummy fish pizzaiola and put cheese on the top and bake it. Oh, my.....so good!! I've made it 100 times and while it's been good it's still not Nonna's! Maybe it was her love that was the extra special ingredient.
