  • Pizza Printable Reading Comprehension Name ______
    History of Pizza Printable Reading Comprehension Name _____________________________________________ Pizza The story of modern pizza as we know began in Naples, Italy, in the late 1800s. Baker Raffaele Esposito is usually given credit for baking the first pizzas with tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings. According to legend, pizza was popularized when Esposito was asked to make a pizza for Italian King Umberto I and Queen Margherita when the royal pair visited Naples in 1889. Esposito allegedly baked three different pizzas. The Queen’s favorite was the one in which Esposito had designed in honor of Italy’s red, white, and green flag. It had basil, mozzarella cheese, and tomato sauce. Esposito named it Pizza Margherita in her honor. Pizza, however, failed to immediately take hold in Italy. As Italian immigrants came to the United States, however, pizza came with them. In 1905, the first United States pizzeria was established in New York City. The pizzeria, called Lombardi’s, still operates today. Soon, other pizzerias in New York City and beyond appeared. By World War II, pizza was one of America’s most popular foods. In the 1950s, the Totino family, of Minnesota, was thought to have produced the first frozen pizzas. In 1958, Frank and Dan Carney borrowed $600 from their parents and opened a pizzeria in Wichita, Kansas. They called their restaurant Pizza Hut because they didn’t have space for additional letters on their first sign. Pizza Hut became very popular and soon the brothers opened new restaurants and hence, the first pizza franchise was born. Today, there are more than 10,000 Pizza Hut restaurants.

  • The History of Pizza the Modern Pizza Was Originally Invented in Naples
    The History of Pizza The modern pizza was originally invented in Naples, Italy but the word pizza is Greek in origin, derived from the Greek word pēktos meaning solid or clotted. The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. The first major innovation that led to flat bread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping. It was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomato to their yeast-based flat bread, and so the pizza began. While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the pizza, it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples. In fact, a popular urban legend holds that the archetypal pizza, Pizza Margherita, was invented in 1889, when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte commissioned the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita. Of the three different pizzas he created, the Queen strongly preferred a pie swathed in the colors of the Italian flag: red (tomato), green (basil), and white (mozzarella). Supposedly, this kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita. Later, the dish has become popular in many parts of the world: • The first pizzeria, Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba, was opened in 1830 in Naples. • In North America, The first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 1/3 Spring Street in New York City. • The first Pizza Hut, the chain of pizza restaurants appeared in the United States during the 1930s.

  • Pizza Margherita
    06 Nowak FCS 17.1:Layout 1 2/12/13 15:48 Page 103 Food, Cultur&e Society volume 17 issue 1 march 2014 Folklore, Fakelore, History INVENTED TRADITION AND THE ORIGINS OF THE PIZZA MARGHERITA Zachary Nowak The Umbra Institute Abstract This article evaluates the creation myth of the pizza margherita as presented by those texts which presume to describe its history, as well as an alternative possibility for the story’s genesis. It begins with a description of the contested historiography of Italian unification, then examines evidence for the veracity of the story, concluding with some questions about the assumed boundaries between folklore and history. Keywords: history of pizza, pizza margherita, invention of tradition, fakelore, Naples Introduction The construction of the state of Italy—both political unification and the unfinished cultural project of an “Italian” identity—is reflected in a popular story about the birth of one of Italy’s greatest gastronomic exports, pizza. Perhaps the most famous story of the aristocratic fan of pizza is that of Queen Margherita, wife of the second king of unified Italy, Umberto I. According to the legend, Margherita and Umberto were visiting Naples in 1889 and grew tired of French cuisine, then a staple for European royalty. Pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito, of Pizzeria Brandi, was summoned to prepare a variety of pizzas for the queen. He chose one with lard , caciocavallo , and basil, one with little fish and one with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. This last pizza, known as pizza alla mozzarella at the time, became the pizza margherita once the queen declared it her favourite.
