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.
Immigrants from Italy were the ones who brought pizza to the United States. This happened at the dawn of the twentieth century. Gennaro Lombari, a grocer, is said to have opened the first pizza place in America, in 1905, in New York.
