Dominoes in italy is akin to red lobster on the coast.

Tell me though...
My mother visited italy in 1971. She told me that street vendors were selling sardines(not little canned fishes) folded in dough, calling it pizza. Is/was that a thing?

@Carla It's probably local to her place, I don't recall seeing anything similar here.

Her where I am the traditional way to prepare sardines is "sarde in saor":

Or, once cured, with bigoli:

I put the salty/cured ones on pizza, while I'll eat the fresh ones roasted but on their own, with a little bit of olive oil, not on a pizza or anything

Both look delicious, @Elessar.

@Carla They are, if you like sardines 😌

@Carla Stuffed sardines perhaps? It's not wrapped in dough, but it's stuffed with a mixture that includes bread crumbs. I've had Sardines stuffed in pita bread in Cyprus and Lebanon.

@Northwest it was a long time ago. She was telling me a story about her italian pizza encounter. I wish i could ask her about it

@Carla I would not rule it out. Street food in parts of Italy varies so much, it's like food carts in the US, depends on which one you hit. I can see a sardine pizza, it would be no different from decorating your pizza with anchovy (I hate it, too salty).

This month it's heirloom tomatoes pizza month at Pagliacci Pizza.

@Northwest ahhh...this month it's fresh grape tomatoes(heirlooms not quite there yet) and fresh basil, in carlas back yard🙂.
I enjoy anchovies on occasion. I will pop a few small pieces on for a salty bite.
