  • INSIDER rounded up 20 of the most mouthwatering varieties of pizza from around the world, including versions in America, Italy, France, Japan, and Turkey.
  • Detroit-style pizza is a deep-dish pie with an extra-crispy crust topped with "brick cheese" and a layer of sauce on top.
  • In France, a tarte flambรฉe is topped with fromage blanc or crรจme fraรฎche, onions, and lardon (bacon).

Americans are obsessed with pizza. As our unofficial national food, there's nothing quite like a heavenly pie topped with generous heapings of cheese and sauce. But baked dough with toppings is not an exclusively American or even an Italian culinary tradition.

INSIDER has curated a list of pizza-like dishes from around the world, from more familiar iterations like the thin-crusted Tarte Flambรฉe in France to Sfiha, a Middle Eastern open-faced pie topped with ground mutton.

Keep scrolling to create your own travel bucket list of "pizzas" to try around the globe.

No cheese or sauce: just pizza bread with olive oil and seasoning.

What's known as "white pizza" in America is actually totally different in Rome. There, pizza bianca is a street food that traditionally does not have sauce or cheese, and is instead simply pizza dough sprinkled with sea salt and sometimes other seasonings. It's comparable to a flatter foccacia bread.

This Korean fusion dish that combines Western pizza with Korean barbecue has become very popular in South Korea recently. Pizza dough is topped with bulgogi (Korean marinated barbecued beef), vegetables like corn and peppers, and a bulgogi sauce (white wine, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar) instead of Western barbecue or marinara sauce.
