Pizza (contrary to the desire of Italians) first appeared in ancient Greece, where baked cakes were poured with olive oil and sprinkled with greens. This tasty tradition was adopted by the ancient Romans. Breadcakes with pieces of meat, olives, cheese, greens were part of the mandatory diet of Roman legionnaires.

In the 1st century BC, Marcus Apitsius (Roman) described in his book the first recipes of ancient pizza: dough pieces, mint, nuts, garlic, cheese were poured into olive oil in different combinations and proportions.

In 1522, tomatoes appeared in Italy, since then, and up to now, they are preparing classic pizza - a standard for kitchens around the world.

In the 17th century, special people appeared in Italy, preparing pizza for the peasants. Legend has it that in 1772 King Ferdinand I incognito in Naples tried the pizza and wanted to introduce this dish to the royal menu. The attempt was unsuccessful: his wife found the dish for common people unsuitable for royalty.

The next king - Ferdinand II - was more inventive: by his order, the pizza was secretly baked and served on the royal table on the day of the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of Queen Margarita of Savoy. Pizza on a recipe for royalty has since been called "Margarita".

In the 19th century, pizza was baked in America, where it became very popular due to the expansion of the delivery service and the production of semi-finished products.
