  1. Who Invented Pizza? Pizza originated in Naples, Italy, as a quick, inexpensive, and tasty supper for working-class Neapolitans on the run. While we all know and enjoy these slices today, pizza did not become popular until the 1940s, when immigrant Italians brought their traditional slices to the United States. Tandoori Pizza is investigating who invented pizza and why, so let's take a look at the history of pizza! Who Made Pizza First? While topped flatbreads were consumed in ancient Egypt and Rome, the Italians are credited with inventing pizza. Naples was a lively seaside city during the 1700s and 1800s, especially near the shore, where congestion and largely outdoor life prompted inhabitants to discover quick, cheap ways to feed their children. Pizza grew popular due to its simple ingredients and convenient portability, but it was regarded as a poor man's street cuisine, unfit for the upper crust.They had no idea this seemingly simple product would become a global phenomenon.

  2. Where Did Pizza Originate? Pizza originated in Italy, but it wasn't until Neapolitans crossed the Atlantic that this cheesy meal took hold. Italians began offering their slices in the United States in the 1940s, and Americans quickly became aware of the distinct flavours. Although the first documented pizza parlour was built in New York City in 1905, pizzerias began to appear in major cities such as Boston, Chicago, and St. Louis. Following WWII, the world began to crave all-things Americana, propelling pizza into the stratosphere. So chefs began experimenting with this centuries-old masterpiece, reinventing it with local flavours and ingredients like Sicilian-style pizza. Pizza, no longer relegated as an inappropriate supper, became an immediate hit, spawning multiple restaurants and infinite ways to satisfy desires. The Salerno brothers started their first pizzeria in Chicago in 1966 and have been delighting residents ever since!
