What is pizza?

① "Pizza" is an Italian-style food made of a special crust, cheese, sauce and fillings. But in fact, this kind of food has transcended language and cultural barriers. It has become a global famous food and is loved by consumers from all over the world. But when and where this delicacy originated is currently unknown. Nowadays, facing the millions of pizzas baked every day in Pizza Hut restaurants, the "pizza experts" around the world, everyone naturally thinks that this was pioneered by bakers in Naples, Italy 400 years ago.

So who invented pizza? Some people believe that pizza originated from China: when the famous Italian traveler Marco Polo was traveling in China, his favorite was a scallion pie popular in the north. When he returned to Italy he always wanted to be able to taste it again, but didn't know how to bake it. One Sunday, he and his friends gathered at home. One of them was a chef from Naples. Marco Polo had an idea and called the chef to his side and described the chive stuffing in northern China "such and such". Here comes the cake. The chef also enthusiastically made it according to the method described by Marco Polo. But after working for a long time, I still couldn't put the filling into the dough. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon and everyone was already hungry. So Marco Polo suggested putting the stuffing on the dough and eating it. After everyone ate it, they all said "good". After the chef returned to Naples, he made it several times and paired it with Naples cheese and condiments. Unexpectedly, it was very popular among diners, and "pizza" has been spreading since then.

According to statistics, there are more than 20,000 pizzerias in Italy, including 1,200 in the Naples area. Most Neapolitans eat pizza at least once a week, and some eat it almost every day for lunch and dinner. Diners, whether rich or poor, are accustomed to folding the pizza and eating it in their hands. This has now become one of the basis for identifying the quality of pizza handiwork. The pizza must be soft and hard so that even if it is folded "like a wallet," the outer layer will not break.

At present, the most famous pizza chain company in the world is Pizza Hut, which was founded in Kansas, USA in 1958. The "red roof" is the distinctive symbol of Pizza Hut's appearance. In more than 90 countries and regions around the world, Pizza Hut has more than 12,300 branches, including nearly 40 branches in China, receiving more than 4 million customers every day and baking more than 1.7 million pizzas. [Edit this paragraph] The Origin of "Pizza" Pizza originated 3,000 years ago when people made flat buns or pies on hot stones. That round or pie served on a tin plate was pizza, the first non-leavened bread in human history. After the Egyptians discovered yeast, people began making leavened bread. The name 'pizza' comes from the Latin 'pinsa', which is the past participle of the Latin 'pinsere', meaning 'to flatten'. People in Mediterranean areas, such as Egypt, Greece and Rome, were accustomed to eating buns or pies made with barley, water and different seasonings. Of course, it could be argued that these buns or pies were the ‘predecessors’ of pizza.
