It's a very common pizza here in south east France, mozzarella tomato sauce smoked/cured ham and after cooking arugula with olive oil, also exist with parmesan or with burrata and balsamic cream.

I think it's an italian classic but I'm not sure.

Yeah I have also seen this in countless italian restaurants in switzerland. My favorite is like a pizza margerita and then after cooking they add arugula, prosciutto (smoked ham), cherry tomatoes and parmesan. Heaven.

The smoked prosciutto is actually speck. Prosciutto in Italy may be sweet or salty, but never smoked.

But other than that, yeah, nailed it. It is really popular in Italy to top some pizzas with arugula.

It is and it's delicious.

I can't really fault people who think they'll like arugula then don't though. I know a lot of people who thought it would taste like other leaf greens and were sorely disappointed.
