The history of pizza

Long time ago in Italy, in the year 1000 A.D.,

people used to eat bread but what they really enjoyed
from the bread was the “Picea”, which is a Latin word
meaning crust. Years later, in Naples, which is a place
southeast Rome, women used to combine flour, olive
oil, lard, cheese and herbs to produce a pie. This pie
was very popular and people thought that it was the
best in the country.

Within time, this pie become so famous

that people start combining different elements to
produce pies with different flavors but one thing
was always kept, and it was the flour crust. This
is why people began to call this dish: Picea, and
finally: Pizza.

The most popular of all pizzas is the Pizza

Margherita, in honor of the Italian Queen
Margherita. This is the result of combining flour,
olive oil, lard, cheese and herbs whit a touch of
white mozzarella cheese, red tomato and basil. These last three elements resemble the Italian
flag because of their colors: white, red and green.
