Although concept of pizza had been known for centuries, we can´t speak about pizza we all know today until early 18 th century. At that time the recipe for pizza reached Italy as baked bread with olive oil. Italy is famous for their pizzas, but there is one city that shines above them all – Naples. When fresh tomatoes came to Naples, the pizza we know today was born.

An inexpensive food with a variety of toppings quickly found their customers. In the beginning of 19 th century a mass migration brought the recipe of pizza from the south of Italy into the USA. This is where the story of pizza got new chapters. This favourite meal was reshaped to adapt to range of minorities coming to USA. Everyone made their own impact, giving it its own unique twist and flavour with ingredients they had in hand. Soon after this pizza started to spread all over the world. A saying goes that pizza was created in Italy, but given to the world by America. Meeting different cuisines and flavours shaped pizza even more, adjusting to every place it stepped in.
