Originally, it was a simple baked tomato pie created in Italy. The word itself is loosely translated "point" which is no
surprise since it's so delicious after the first bite or two; you've most likely reached the point of no return.
With apology to the Italians, it really could have been created by anyone inventive enough to mix together flour,
water and seasonings. Back in those days, most baking was done on a heated stone, and it wouldn't have been too
much of a stretch to create this treat.
People years ago also used this creation to help soak up gravies and broths. And the man who worked many hard
hours found it to be an easy-to-carry lunch food.
Interestingly enough, history speaks to the fact even as far back as the 6th
century B.C. empire leaders and soldiers went on long marches to conquer
other kingdoms. They would often bring along a sort of flat bread that they
ingeniously baked upon their shields over an open flame and afterwards
covered with dates, cheese and meat.
Ingredients such as herbs, cheese, meat, flour and olive oil were prevalent in
those days. They were often the stuff used in a variety of cooked entrees. In
their excavations, archaeologists have discovered many petrified and
perfectly preserved flat flour cakes.
In the year 1522, history also says that originally tomatoes were considered to be poisonous but eventually some
surly knave tested them and did not die. So, they were added to the list of ingredients for baked pie. Poor people
everywhere rejoiced because they were easy to grow and very tasty. The city of Naples in Italy has been given the
honor of being the first to add them to their pies.
In the later half of the 19th century, every Naples restaurant was boasting of the best pizza on the block. It was sold
everywhere and was eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many of these places became the forerunner of modern-
day pizzerias.
With the advancement, courage and migration of brave Italians, pizza finally reached America's heavenly shores. If
the story can be believed, a street peddler in Chicago was the first person in the USA to travel up and down the
streets selling this wonderful delight for only
Have you ever wondered, "Who invented the circular thing that keeps the pizza from hitting the inside of the box
top?" Well wonder no longer the package saver for pizza and cakes was invented by Carmela Vitale of Dix Hills,
NY, who filed for US patent #4,498,586 on February 10, 1983, issued on February 12, 1985.

Pizza Topping Trivia:
Americans eat approximately 350 slices of pizza per second. And 36 percent of those pizza
slices are pepperoni slices, making pepperoni the number one choice among pizza toppings
in the United States. However, in India pickled ginger, minced mutton, and paneer cheese
are the favorite toppings for pizza slices. In Japan, Mayo Jaga (a combination of
mayonnaise, potato and bacon), eel and squid are the favorites. Green peas rock Brazilian
pizza shops and Russians love red herring pizza.
