Today, pizza is one of the world's favorite foods. All over the world, people make different pizzas. But where does pizza come from? And who made the first one?
The First Pizza
People have been making pizza for a very long time. In the
Stone Age, a very early time in human history when people used
things made of stone, some people mixed flour with water to make
dough. Then they cooked it on hot stone. Over time, people started
using the cooked dough as a plate, covering it with other foods,herbs
and spices to add taste. They had made the world's first pizza.
A New Ingredient
Then----in the early 1500s----European explorers brought the first tomatoes back from the America.Tomatoes are a basic ingredient in many pizzas today. At first, however, most Europeans thought eating tomatoes would make them ill. So, for about 200 years, few people ate them. Slowly, people learnt that tomatoes were safe to eat, and tasty, too. In the early 19th century, cooks in Naples, Italy, started the tradition of putting tomatoes on pizza. In 1830, a cook in Naples took another big step in the history of pizza---he opened the world's first pizza restaurant.
A World Food
Today, about five billion pizzas are made every year around the world. In the U.S. alone, people cat about 350 pieces every second! Did you know? The world's biggest pizza was made in Italy, the birthplace of pizza. It was about 40 meters across.
