Unit 5 What a delicious meal! Reading Pius巩固练习 The History of Pizza 披萨的历史 Do you know pizza is one of the most popular fast foods in the world? In fact, around the world, people eat 5 billion pizzas every year! But where did pizza come from and what makes it so popular? Read on to find out. Thousands of years ago, the Greeks, Italians, and Persians（波斯人）started putting vegetables, oil, cheese, and other things on flat bread. The ingredients depended on the area, but there was one thing in common: Everyone put the toppings on some type of bread. This was the ancient form of "pizza". Our modern pizza goes back to the Romans more than 2,000 years ago. They put cheese and olive oil on bread. In the 1700s, a pizza with tomato sauce and cheese became popular in Naples（那不勒斯）, Italy. Later, Italians brought the pizza to America, and then it became a popular food all over the world, with different pizzas from different places. Photographs of movie stars and famous athletes with pizza helped it become more and more popular, and that led to competitions. Today, we have the World Pizza Games. There are also all kinds of world records. For example, in 2017, there was a new record for the world's longest pizza. It was over 1.9 kilometers long!
