The History of National Pizza Day
Though flatbreads with toppings were consumed by ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks, the modern birthplace of the pizza is southwestern Italy’s Campania region, home to Naples. The city was known for its throngs of working poor, and these Neapolitans required inexpensive food that could be consumed quickly, according to National Today.
Pizza — flatbreads with toppings that can be eaten for every meal — fulfilled this need. Early pizzas featured toppings such as tomatoes, cheese, oil, anchovies, and garlic.
Pizza would remain relatively unknown beyond the borders of Naples until the 1940s. Across the ocean, immigrants flocking to the United States from Naples replicated their flatbreads in New York and other American cities. The flavors and aromas of pizza began to intrigue non-Neapolitans and non-Italians alike.
