It's kind of silly to talk about the moment when pizza was "invented." It gradually evolved
over the years, but one thing's for sure-it existed long before the
discovery of he Americas. The idea of using pieces of flat, round bread
as plates came from the Greeks. They called them "plakuntos" and ate
them with various simple toppings such as oil, garlic, ions, and herbs.
The Romans enjoyed eating something similar and called it "picea." By
gut 1000 A.D. in the city of Naples, "picea" had become "pizza" and
people were experimenting with more toppings: cheese, ham, anchovies,
and finally the tomato, brought to Italy from Mexico and Peru in the
sixteenth century. Naples became the pizza capital of the rid. In 1889,
king Umberto I and Queen Margherita heard about pizza and asked to try
it. 'y invited pizza maker Rafaele Esposito to make it for them. He
decided to make the pizza e the Italian flag, so he used red tomatoes,
white mozzarella cheese, and green basil leaves. The Queen loved it and the new pizza was named "Pizza Margherita" in her honor.
Pizza
migrated to America with the Italians at the end of the nineteenth
century. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 at
53'/z Spring Street, New York City, by Gennaro Lombardi. But the
popularity of pizza really exploded
when American soldiers returned from Italy after World War II and raved
about "that great Italian dish." Americans are now the greatest
producers and consumers of pizza in the world.
