The Pizza Site

Pizza is among the most popular foods in the world. Originally created in Naples, Italy, this versatile bread-based dish – generally shaped like a disc - comes in many variations, differing not only from country to country, but from region to region within a country. The traditional pizza baked and topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese has evolved into a dish that can be eaten anytime of the day, and even for dessert. In Europe, strict rules dictate how a traditional pizza may be baked. Throughout the world, however, pizza has been adapted to suit local palates.

The making and consumption of pizza is a major force in the economies of many nations. One U.S. pizza chain, Pizza Hut, has more than 34,000 outlets in more than 100 countries.

Outlets that make or sell pizzas are known by various terms. In the United States, such establishments are known as pizza parlors or pizzerias. Pizza is also known as pizza, pie, with the term “pie” used in some contexts for simplicity.

There is much to know about pizza, including its history, ingredients that go into baking types of pizza, utensils used in its creation, and recipes. We hope this website proves useful for pizza lovers and anyone interested in learning more about this famous dish.
