Modern pizza, as we know it today, originated in Italy as the Neapolitan pie with tomato and the cheese was added in 1889. The pizza is from Italy, but was not developed until after the cultivation of the tomato, brought back to Spain from Central America in the 1500's.
Pizza is a flatbread generally topped with tomato sauce and cheese and baked in an oven. It is commonly topped with a selection of meats, vegetables and condiments. The term was first recorded in the 10th century, in a Latin manuscript from Gaeta in Central Italy. The modern pizza was invented in Naples, Italy, and the dish and its variants have since become popular in many areas of the world. In 2009, upon Italy's request, Neapolitan pizza was safeguarded in the European Union as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed dish.
