So do you know the impressive history behind this delicious dish? Even if you love pizza, you might not know how it came to be, many centuries ago. Historians believe pizza can be traced back to a simple flatbread creation made with flour and water and seasoned with herbs. This early flatbread likely resembled present-day focaccia and went by the Latin word pinsa, which may have provided the linguistic link to the word pizza.

The invention of mozzarella would bring the flatbread closer to the pizza we know and love today, it would take hundreds of years before tomatoes were actually added to the dish. Once upon a time, these bright red beauties were widely thought to be poisonous, so believe it or not, no Italians would eat them! But thanks to some hungry peasants who braved the deadly food, the tomato would soon make its indelible mark on Italian cuisine of all kinds.
