Do you know anything about the history of pizza?

Let's go through a few questions about the history of how pizza has evolved.

? Where was the first pizza made? While most people mention Italy when they think of the first pizza, historians agree that the dish has an even longer history - provided you define pizza broadly. For example, large pizzas were baked, and the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians ate these topped with various oils and herbs. Even as early as the ?6th? century BC, Persians were baking bread covered with cheese and dates, pizza toppings that are common in modern artisanal pizzerias.

? When was pizza first invented? Historians haven't pinpointed the exact date when pizza was made, but they've been able to shrink the window a lot. Tomatoes originated in the West, but didn't make it to Europe until around the ?1500s (they weren't initially accepted because they were considered poisonous), so pizza didn't come into existence until that time. a description in a book from 1799: It describes pizza as dough with tomato sauce and cheese, so we know it was invented at least around that time.

? Who invented the margherita pizza? Like many of the greatest origin stories, the creation of this pizza is a bit murky. One version of the story claims that your favorite Friday dinner was created during a visit to Naples in 1889 by the soon-to-be King and Queen of Italy. In an effort to be a sort of "queen of the people," the future monarch insisted on eating like an ordinary person. This means pizza: food for the poor.

? Who invented pepperoni pizza? Unlike pizza, whose origins can be traced back to Naples, the origin of pepperoni pizza is far from Italy. In fact, Italians don't like pepperoni, and you'll never find it as a topping in this country.The sausage was first made in 1906?in Canastota, New York, and may have been the first to sell pre-sliced sausage. But food historians believe that pepperoni didn't become a pizza topping until the ?1950?s, when a New Haven pizzeria put pepperoni on a pie.
