Yes, history
Ah, the history of pizza, a fascinating topic indeed! Did you know that pizza has a long and rich history that can be traced back to ancient times? The origins of pizza can be found in ancient Egypt, where flatbreads topped with various ingredients were consumed. However, it was in Naples, Italy, in the late 18th century, that pizza as we know it today began to take shape.
One interesting historical fact is that the Margherita pizza, named after Queen Margherita of Italy, is said to have been created in 1889. The pizza was made with toppings representing the colors of the Italian flag: red tomato sauce, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil leaves. This iconic pizza became incredibly popular and helped to establish pizza as a beloved dish worldwide.
