The First Pizza Recipes

A "pizza" used to be a piece of dough, baked to test whether the oven was hot enough to bake bread. These baked pieces of dough were sold cheaply to poor people who could not afford real bread.

After that came the toppings, and the popularity of this Italian dish spread all over the world. Tomatoes, oil and herbs were the original pizza toppings. Cheese was not added until 1889.

Fusion Flavors

In addition to all the traditional pizza toppings, new flavors are arriving. If you cannot decide between takeout Indian food or pizza, you can combine the two with a Tandoori chicken pizza. Add some extra chilies to the list of toppings and you have a delicious, spicy pizza with distinct Indian flavors.

You can get Australian pizzas with bacon and eggs, Japanese pizzas with squid, French pizzas with fresh cream and Greek pizzas with marinated lamb and feta cheese.

Almost every country has taken pizza into their hearts and adapted it with their own preferred flavors and it is now possible to buy or make a pizza with just about any toppings you can think of. Even dessert pizzas are an option, if you have a sweet tooth.
