History<\/strong> <\/span>
\nThe pizza has ancient origins. Someone says pizza was already present in Etruscan times with forms and ingredients obviously very different from today.
\nIt was born as a poor dish that needs simple and easy to find ingredients such as: flour, oil, salt and yeast.
\nThe pizza was created around 1600 in the South of Italy, aiming to making more attractive and tasty the traditional \u201cschiacciata\u201d (flat bread). At the beginning it just was dough for bread baked in wood oven, seasoned with garlic, lard and salt or, to enrich it, with cheese and basil.
\nThe arrival on the tables of the modern pizza, begins with the discovery of the tomatoes! So the era of modern pizza began in Naples and also in America.
\nIndeed in the XIX century the pizza with tomatoes reaches America thanks to Italians emigrated to New York.\"pomodod1\"<\/p>\n

In that same period in Naples the \u201chistoric marriage\u201d with mozzarella takes place.
\nA Neapolitan pizza maker, Raffaele Esposito and his wife, prepared the famous pizza with tomatoes and mozzarella in honor of the Queen Margherita, wife of King Umberto I of Italy.
\nThe pizza maker and his wife prepared 3 pizzas: one with lard and basil, one with tomato and garlic and a pizza with tomato, mozzarella and basil, thinking to the Italian flag.
\nThe Queen Margherita liked it tremendously and for this reason it was named \u201cPizza Margherita\u201d.<\/p>\n
