Pizza - The Universal Food

Pizza is undoubtedly one of the most universally loved foods. You could attribute it to its long history, or it might just be because it tastes so good. Many places offer pizza in almost every country on the planet!

In Southern Italy, around 997AD was the first time that "pizza" was recorded. It is believed that it was derived from "pitta," a Middle Eastern flatbread. It was popularly made in Naples and usually included tomato-based sauce, fish, and cheese. It wasn't until 1889 that Queen Margherita was served a pizza from Naples. The pizza was named "Margherita pizza" after her. This Margherita pizza was topped with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil to represent the colors of the Italian flag. Pizza was once peasant food. After being tasted by a queen, it was a tourist attraction. Many vendors opened "pizzerias" in Naples, making pizza a popular Italian food.

The United States saw the first appearance of pizza in late 19th-century America when Italian immigrants arrived. It gained popularity in New York and Chicago, where there was the highest concentration of Italian immigrants. It gained its most incredible popularity in America in the 1940s when soldiers returning from World War II brought their love of pizza home. It was a difficult time for troops stationed in Italy to find good food. The soldiers discovered pizza, and its demand was so great that local bakers couldn't keep up. Dwight D. Eisenhower even expressed appreciation for the dish.

The birth of Pizza Hut, Wichita, Kansas, in 1958 gave rise to the modern pizza industry. In the 1950s and '60s, pizza was trendy. People would drive miles to get their pizza through which Pizza chains emerged due to the increasing popularity of pizza. This has resulted in the globalization and popularity of pizza.
