Pizza is one of the most popular fast-food in the world. From kids to elders everybody loves to savor the unique taste of this dish. For its growing popularity many take away pizza shops have come up in different parts of the world.
Though pizza is a very popular food, its history dates back to the ancient times. It was the Greeks who first introduced this dish. They used to bake a round flatbread in a stone oven. The bread was topped with oil, spices and herbs. However the home for modern pizza is Naples where it was a cost effective meal for the peasants. Raffaele Esposito popularized this dish by baking a special one for the Queen.
In the Italian pizza the flatbread is smeared with tomato sauce and is served with different toppings and then baked in a wood fired oven. Olive oil, tomato sauce, herbs, vegetables, meat and lots of cheese are mostly used as topping. Many also use seafood instead of meat which adds a unique taste to it. For also baking it in the wood fired ovens the pizza gets a smoky flavor which also adds to its great taste.
