The History of Pizza

As early as AD 997 in Gaeta, the first pizza was documented. They say that it was made for the Queen of Italy. Looking back at its bread evolution it probably started with focaccia bread where they added toppings. Fast forward a little, modern pizza was found in Naples where tomato sauce is smeared on top before adding toppings.

For almost two centuries, pizza has been there for us, making our lonely movie nights better than ever.

Fast Pizzas

A lot of open air stands and casual dining popped out of nowhere. If you drive around the city, you’ll see them almost every other block.
