Sfincione is the Sicilian focaccia-pizza, a thick spongy dough topped with caciocavallo, anchovies, onion, oregano and breadcrumbs, baked in trays and cut into thick squares for street eating.

Sfincione is traditionally attributed to the 17th-century nuns of the Monastero di San Vito in Palermo, who baked it as a richer feast-day alternative to daily bread. The street-vendor tradition consolidated in the 20th century; the Bagheria variant uses caciocavallo and breadcrumbs without anchovy. Sfincione Fest in Bagheria each November is the dish's annual celebration.
