There Pizza it is a very popular dish known throughout the world, but its origin is found in southern Italy, particularly in the city of Naples. Traditional Neapolitan pizza is made with a dough of soft wheat flour, water, salt, yeast and olive oil. The dough is left to rise for a few hours before being rolled out and seasoned with tomato, buffalo mozzarella, basil and other ingredients of your choice. The origin of pizza can be traced back to ancient Greece, where flatbreads made from flour, water and oil were cooked. However, it is in Naples that pizza as we know it today began to take shape around the 18th century. Initially, pizza was considered a street food sold by street vendors, but it soon became a popular dish in restaurants and pizzerias. Pizza became famous throughout the world during the 20th century, also thanks to the spread of Italian culture. Today, pizza is one of the most loved and widespread dishes internationally, and there are endless regional and local variations around the world. Neapolitan pizza, however, remains the most famous and most admired, and in 2017 it was recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
