Focaccia bread is not only thicker but also has a softer texture when compared to pizza. Since focaccia is usually served as an appetizer or an accompaniment to soups and salads, it is lightly garnished. This usually consists of olive oil, salt, herbs, onions, olives and tomatoes. On the other hand, pizza is considered a meal and its toppings may include tomato sauce, cheese, and various salumi, meats and vegetables.
