Did you know that the Italian word pizza actually means a pie? Some classic versions of pizzas have double crusts, are topped and baked similar to pies in large tins, and sliced for serving.

The spinach and ricotta pie is a classic whole meal pizza pie of this genre, with an interesting filling of garlic, spinach, ricotta cheese, and sultanas. You can prepare this recipe ahead of time, but remember to warm it before serving.
