Do you like eating pizza? Why?
The History of Pizza
Do you like eating pizza? Do you know who made the first pizza?
Italian people say that they made the first pizza. Long time ago, they added toppings to a piece of bread and baked it. The Greeks also had a kind of pizza and it was mostly vegetables. But the pizza in Italy was more similar to today’s pizza.
Italian people brought pizzas to America. An Italian named Gennaro Lombardi made the first pizza in the United States, and he opened the first pizza shop in New York City in 1905. It was not very successful at the very beginning, because many Americans never heard of the food before.
The Second World War (WWII) changed Americans’ pizza eating habits. At that time, soldiers fought in Italy and tried pizza there. And they could not get enough of it after they went back home.
Although the history of pizza is uncertain, people all over the world love the food.
