> In Italy there's a bunch of things called "pizza" which are not round flat bread. True, although the canonical/widespread pizza is the round/flat one. I've never heard of "Pizza di Pasqua" and "Pizza sbattuta" in Italy (I don't doubt they exist, but they must be very uncommon). Pizza in teglia is common, at least in certain parts of Italy; I believe it's generally sold in bakeries rather than in pizzerias (restaurants). Pizza alla pala is not so common in Italy, at least in restaurants (not that I remember). In other countries is very common in takeaways. There's also a type of pizza that is round but thick, and with lower-quality toppings. I can't find any reference to it; it's somewhat widespread over Italy, but considered a "lesser pizza" :)

I just want to add this because i think it’s interesting, but the word pasqua (Easter) actually comes from Passover. Also Passover in Italian is Pasqua ebraica.

Pizza inferiore that you allude to without reference - this is the one often often found entombed in a cardboard box?

  This is an example: https://imgur.com/a/PQlxEXc https://imgur.com/a/PQlxEXc (not sure why Imgur tags it as mature). I've found this type of pizza both in the north and in the south. The overall quality is consideraly lower, starting from the cheese, which is not mozzarella (I believe they use provola, which is cheaper).

    oh god... that dough looks more like frozen pizza, apart from in some tourist traps I have never seen it served seriously in my area

If you look at historical sources, what is called pizza, in i.e. Scampi's "Opera Nova" is more of a pie, that may be open or closed, sweet or savoury, and may not even have flour dough, but say almond flour
