Pizza predates tomatoes coming to Italy. There is a 2000 year old fresco that has a pizza in it (without tomato sauce obviously). Tomatoes made it to Italy around 500 years ago.
And there are still pizzas today that use a different base for their sauce than tomatoes. But taste is subjective so it’s hard to say if those are “the best”.

Damn! Today I learned, thanks for the info
“White pizza” using sour cream as the sauce/base is pretty good.
