Pizza has a long history, spanning back to ancient civilisations, such as the Greeks and Romans, who made flatbreads topped with various ingredients. However the birth of the modern-day pizza can be traced to 18th-century Naples, Italy, when Neapolitans started using tomatoes on their flatbreads. This earliest form of the pizza was often sold by street vendors, offering a quick, nutritious, and in-expensive meal. Over time, the toppings became more varied, including anchovies, cheese, and garlic. While pizza remained a popular snack in Naples, its spread throughout the rest of Italy remained limited. However, in the US, Italian immigrants from Naples in the late 19th and early 20th centuries started replicating pizzas in cities such as New York and Chicago. Pizza’s popularity quickly spread to other cities and suburbs, with new and exciting flavours and variations quickly emerging, giving birth to the modern-day pizzas we know and love. Today, pizza is a global food phenomena, with pizza restaurants and global pizza food chains found in almost every country in the world.
