White pizza explained

White pizza or white pie is a style of pizza that does not use tomato sauce.^[1] The pizza generally consists of pizza dough, olive oil, garlic, cheese, salt and, sometimes, toppings including vegetables such as spinach, tomato, and herbs.^{[2] [3] [4]} A béchamel sauce is sometimes used in place of tomato sauce, and sliced tomatoes may be added to top the pizza.^[5]

It is sometimes referred to as Italian: pizza bianca, but this can also refer to a type of flatbread originating in Rome.
