Hi there, my favorite food is pizza, I love the endless possibilities when it comes to toppings.
Pizza is delicious! I love vegetable and cheeze pizza the most!
Definitely a good one. I just recently found out that modern day pizza was invented in Naples. Of course other variants of the pizza have evolved in other parts of the world though.
Really? That's neat! I knew it came from Italy but I never knew it came from Naples!
Oh yeah, everyone associates pizza with Italy. Pizza was originally eaten in the country of Italy but that changed after World War 2 when troops stationed in Italy came to enjoy pizza and other foods there.
Oh that makes sense! Maybe after World War II was when pizza started migrating to a ton of other different places.
Perhaps, yes. An awfully long time from when the modern day pizza came about in the 18th century.
Wow never knew it was from the 18th century either! Looks like pizza has been around for a super long time!
called pizzettas.
The term "pizza" was first recorded in the 10th century in a Latin manuscript from the Southern Italian town of Gaeta in Lazio, on the border with Campania. Modern pizza was invented in Naples, and the dish and its variants have since become popular in many countries. It has become one of the most popular foods in the world and a common fast food item in Europe and North America, available at pizzerias (restaurants specializing in pizza), restaurants offering Mediterranean cuisine, and via pizza delivery
baked pasta, as well as vegetable soups, green salads, desserts, and soda or Japanese tea. There is also a strong tradition of using Tabasco sauce on cooked pizzas.
Pizza toppings in Japan also differ from that found in the United States. One of the unique pizza toppings found in Japan is squid. Seafood may be found on pizza everywhere, but having squid as the focal ingredient is unique to Japan.
Local crust variants also exist, for instance mochi pizza (crust made with Japanese mochi cakes)
