Pizza has quite the heritage dating back centuries. The Romans were enjoying their own version of pizza with a bread made up of layers of dough interspersed with honey, cheese and herbs before being baked. But, arguably the Neapolitans of Italy invented this exceptional dish back in the 18th century.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Ottawa SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
Initially, many of the aristocracy looked down their noses at pizza, but in 1861, with Italy finally unified, King Umberto I and Queen Margherita visited Naples in 1889, where legend has it the travelling pair “became bored with their steady diet of French cuisine and asked for an assortment of pizzas from the city’s Pizzeria Brandi, founded in 1760,” notes the website.
Pizza ruled in Italy, but not really anywhere else, until after the Second World War, when the cascade of Italian immigrants entered North American shores, bringing with them cherished possessions, including the secrets to a decent pizza. Today, just about every corner in every neighbourhood has a pizza joint, be it a popular chain or a mom-and-pop operation. Of course there’s the frozen stuff you can pick up anywhere – and nothing beats homemade.
