Main Ingredient

Main ingredient sorts dishes by the single component that defines them most. Pizza's own definition, Wikipedia notes, centers on "a flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomato, cheese, and other ingredients," naming wheat dough as the one element every pizza shares. This dimension groups dishes built around the same core ingredient.
