Pizza has a long history. The ancient Greeks first had the idea of putting
vegetables on large flat pieces of bread, and ‘pizza ovens’ have been found in the
ruins of Roman cities. But for centuries one vital ingredient was missing - the first
tomatoes were not brought to Europe until the sixteenth century, from South
America. It was the nineteenth century before Rafaele Esposito, a baker from
Naples, began to sell the first modern pizzas. He was asked to bake a special pizza
for a visit by the Italian King and Queen in 1889, and so the first pizza Margarita
was created, named after the Queen.
Pizza became a favorite dish in Italy, but it was after the Second World War, when
thousands of American soldiers went home from Europe, that pizza really became
an international dish. Soon there were pizzerias all over the USA, and American
chains like Pizza Hut spread the idea around the world. Today the average
American eats over ten kilograms of pizza a year, and the world's largest pizza
(measuring thirty meters across) was baked not in Italy, but in Havana, Cuba!
