Pizziola was discribed to me as "In the Sytle of the Pizza Maker"<as Carbonara is in the "style of the Charcoal-maker">. I saw it done on one of the Iralian cooking shows that were popular a few years ago. But I didn't think it was older than the middle of the 20th century, not sure how, but somehow I got the idea that it was a WWII thing, the extravagances of Musilini "El Duce"<sorry if I misspelled the italian, been a while>. 

but I could be wrong.
