Where Pizza Was Born: A Journey to the Origins of a Simple Idea

Before becoming a global symbol, pizza was humble food: a flatbread baked on stone and topped with whatever was at hand.
Its roots reach back to ancient times: Romans spoke of pinsa, Egyptians made leavened bread.
But in eighteenth-century Naples, that simple idea was refined and transformed into a popular art form.
With the arrival of the tomato from the Americas, pizza changed its face and became a universal food.
Since then, every pizza has been a synthesis of hunger and creativity, of necessity and genius.
