You know the phrase "Love is a Universal Language?" I wholeheartedly believe that "Pizza is a Universal Food."

It was the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks that were the early birds on pizza. They ate flatbreads with toppings and later adapted herbs and oil.

The modern birthplace of pizza is southwestern Italy's Campania region where the city of Naples is located. It was in the 1700s that pizza began to take off with lower-income Italians buying them from street vendors. It wasn't until the late 1800s before the elite began to enjoy a slice and then everyone wanted a pie.
