History of Pizza: Do You Know Who Invented Pizza?
Ok, it’s time to settle something right here, right now: who invented pizza? Along with that debate, many people also wonder when was pizza invented, and how far back its story really goes. Let’s be clear: Pizza was not an American invention. It’s true that we all love a good Brooklyn-style slice or a deep dish Chicago-style bite, but let's not forget the rich history of pizza. And, it’s also true that some of the best pizza comes from 7-Eleven, and we love debating whether pineapple belongs on it, but…pizza is not from America.
If it’s not American, then where was pizza invented? To answer when was pizza invented, you have to look beyond modern slices and trace its roots back to ancient flatbreads and, eventually, Naples, Italy. Well, that’s a little more complicated. The Greeks, Egyptians and Romans were all famous for eating flatbreads, but if you're wondering who invented pizza as we know it today, the answer lies in Naples, Italy, the bithplace of pizza.
Pizza in America: Pizza (And Pizza Delivery!) Becomes a Household Staple
So how did pizza become a household staple in the U.S.? It’s all thanks to Italian immigrants coming to the United States! People who immigrated from Naples to the U.S. brought delicious flatbreads. Then, after World War II, pizza became a household staple for many American families.
Soon, pizza was on every table in America, and people came up with new ways to enjoy the treat. These new ways included fruit pizza, dessert pizza, breakfast pizza, and faster, more convenient ways to buy pizza, like pizza delivery. And now you don’t have to wait around on your pizza delivery!
