Overview
No one really needs an introduction to pizza. In one form or another, it is enjoyed by millions of people in most countries around the world. Modern pizza was “invented” in Naples around 18th and 19th century, but even in ancient times, the people of the Mediterranean enjoyed pizza-like flatbreads and cakes.
