An ancient pizza story proves that this dish will be popular at all times. Another ancient Greeks and Romans used sliced bread for the supply of dishes. However, the place of birth of classical pizza is Naples.
In the XV-XVII centuries. There was a special profession – “Pizzioli”, whose representatives prepared this dish for peasants.
It is interesting that only the poor were preparing and eating pizza and when I tried and appreciated it and appreciated the wife of King Naples Ferdinand IV Maria-Carolina Gabsburg-Lotaring, pizza spread in the highest circles.
In honor of Margarita Savoy, the wife of the Italian king Umberto I was called one of the types of pizza. Wanting to try the favorite dish of her people, Margarita asked the cook Rafael Esposito to cook pizza for her. Of course, she liked her.
At that time, pizza was an open cake from a special dough with cheese baked on it, tomatoes (which appeared in Europe only in 1552), meat, seafood, vegetables or mushrooms.
If today the food delivery service will bring pizza to the specified address, then in the old days the dish could be bought on the street. Over time, “pizzerias” opened in Naples, and since 1957, pizza-semi-dummies appeared in stores.
Pizza is currently very popular. This is a simple dish that is quickly prepared, and often “out of nothing”, but in different countries pizza acquired its national flavor. So, in Japan, pizza is prepared with seafood and vegetables that are laid on a fried cake lubricated with sauce. On top, the dish is sprinkled with chip from dried tuna. Israelis love partially kosher pizza.
Every year, the popularity of pizza in the world is only growing. Our country is no exception.
