Author: Sanjay Kumar Anand

 Hello friends! Today is all about the fun and tasty pizza! In this blog, we will be taking a look at the history and evolution of pizza. Let's move on…

Flatbreads with toppings have been consumed for centuries by the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. One of the earliest references to a pizza-like food is documented in the 'Aeneid', an epic written by Roman poet Virgil between 29 and 19 BC. The modern variant of pizza was born in the city of Naples, Italy. Naples had a large number of working-class people who preferred affordable food that could be consumed on the go. Pizzas served this purpose. These street-side pizzas were flatbreads with various toppings such as tomatoes, cheese, oil, anchovies (a type of fish) and garlic.

In the mid-1800s, King Umberto 1 and Queen Margherita of the Kingdom of Italy visited Naples. This is seen as an iconic event in the history of pizza. The royal couple wished to dine on an assortment of pizzas made in the city. Until then, pizzas were primarily consumed by the working class and were frowned upon by the elite. The queen's favorite pizza was called pizza mozzarella, which was topped with cheese, tomatoes, and basil. Since then, this pizza has been known as pizza Margherita!

However, the popularity of pizza never spread to the rest of the world, until it became a hit in the US. Taken to the US from Naples in the early 1900s, pizza became an instant hit in the region. After World War 2, pizza came to be known as a fun fast-food. Food historians claim that pizza became popular in its birthplace in Italy only after the war. Today, there are several pizza chains across the world and several flavors to cater to local flavors.
So, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!
