I love pizza so much I could eat it every day
Well, it's one of the most popular foods in the world, so you're not alone. But I wouldn't recommend every day, because each pizza is at least 2000 calories.
Good point. Is pizza Italian?
Yes it is. The original term is Latin, and comes from a small Italian town called Gaeta. The modern dish we eat today, however, was invented in Naples.
Has it been around a long time?
Well, the term was coined in the 10th century, so that's quite a while ago, but since the definition can be so loose, it's hard to actually say.
How is the term translated, if at all?
The word is most likely derived from Byzantine Greek πίττα, meaning "cake" or "pie." Which makes sense, obviously.
Now I'm hungry and want pizza. I wonder what is the most popular toppings people put on theirs.
Of the different vegetables, meats, and cheeses out there, I think Mozzarella, pepperoni, and sausage are probably the top choices.
