Many people think pizza was first created by Italians. It is true that they are the best in making it, but it has been originated somewhere else. I will show a brief history of pizza and the reason why people think it’s originally Italian.
It was first made by the early Greeks who were making round flat bread and they added herbs, oil, spices and dates to it. In the 18th century, the idea of the round bread flew to Italy were they name it “Pizza”. The Neapolitans had their touch on it by adding tomatoes to it. It was sold in the streets to the poor in Naples. Queen Margherita had tasted it during her tour in the Italian kingdom. So, she brought a chef from his pizzeria to the palace to make a selection of pizzas for her. Chef Rafaelle Esposito decided to make a special pizza for her by adding the colors of the Italian flag to it and it became the queen’s favorite food.
Now, Pizza has spread to most of the countries all over the world, and the queen’s pizza is sold in most of the pizzerias in the world having her name on it and people are enjoying it.
