Pizza History
The history of pizza began with the Egyptians. It is believed that they
were the first to mix flour with water. Others believe that the pioneers
were the Greeks which made pastas of wheat, flour or rice and baked it in
hot bricks. The invention went to Etruria, Italy.
Despite the popular belief that Italians invented the pizza;
Babylonians, Hebrews and Egyptians had already mixed wheat, starch and
water to bake in rustic ovens for more than 5 thousand years. The pasta was
called “Abraham’s bread”, which looked like Arabic bread.
The Phoenicians, seven centuries B.C, used to add meat and onions
to the bread, Muslims Turks had the same habit during the Middle Ages
and because of the crusades this food arrived in Italy by the port of Naples,
being soon improved, which originated the pizza that we know today.
In the beginning of its existence, only regional herbs and olive oil
were the typical ingredients of pizza. Italians were the ones who added
tomato, discovered in American and taken to Europe by the Spanish
conquerors. However, at this time pizza didn’t have its round characteristic,
but folded like a sandwich or calzone.
Pizza was eaten specially by poor people in the South of Italy, when,
around the first millennium, the term “picea” is created in Naples, which is
considered the birth place of pizza. “Picea” indicated rounded baked pasta
with some ingredients on it.
The fame of the recipe went all over the world and the first pizzaria
that is know is Port’Alba, a meeting point of famous artists of that time,
including Alexander Dumas.
It had arrived to Brazil the same way, by Italians immigrants and
nowadays it can be found in almost all cities. Until the 50’s, it was much
more common to be eaten at Italian colonies, but soon it become part of
Brazilian culture. Since 1985, it is celebrated on July 10th the Pizza’s day.
