A
Pizza is a pretty common treat, but where did it start? Here are three things you probably
don’t know about pizza.
1: Pi
zza’s Origins Are Half
-Baked.
The Neapolitans in Italy are proud of saying they invented pizza, but it’s probably more
accurate
to
say
they
perfected
it.
The
idea
of
putting
toppings
on
a
flatbread
and
baking
it
started
in the 6th century B. C. But the people of Naples were the first to put the tomato on a flatbread
in the 16th century. From its start, pizza was the food for the poor, as it was cheap, filling
and easy to eat on the run. In Italian, the word “pizza?nbsp;re
fers to anything that is made and
then pressed flat.
2: Pizza Margherita Is Not Exactly a Symbol of Italy.
It is said that one day in 1889, a local baker named Raffaele Esposito created three pizzas
for Queen Margherita when she was on a tour of Italy. The queen loved the version that had the
tomato,
basil
and
mozzarella
cheese,
and
it
just
happened
to
match
the
colors
of
the
Italian
flag.
So Esposito named the pizza after her.
But Scott Wiener points out that Italy was unified in name only in 1889 so it was unlikely
any Neapolitan baker woul
d want to celebrate the “Northern conqueror?/p>
. Further, the letter of
gratitude for the pizza from the royal household that Pizzeria Brandi displays appears to be a
fake and may just have been a marketing strategy.
3: Hawaiian Pizza Invented by a Canadian.
Sam
Panopoulos,
from
Greece,
originally
moved
to
Canada
at
the
age
of
20.
In
1962,
he
decided
to put some ham and pineapple on a pizza at one of his restaurants in Ontario.
