3 Things You Might Not Know About Pizza

1. It’s Over a Thousand Years Old

The word ‘pizza’ dates back over a thousand years. It was first mentioned in a Latin text found in southern Italy in 997 CE. This was during the age of antiquity when ancient cultures made flatbreads with various types of toppings.

2. Every Country Has Their Own Unique Version

3. 4 Types of Mozzarella Are Used to Make Pizza

While pizza is generally comprised of three simple ingredients: bread, sauce, and cheese, variety is the mother of its dynamic reinvention. Mozzarella di bufala is used for Neapolitan-style pizzas, while fior de latte is made from cow’s milk. The other two include burrata, a cheese with a creamy filling, and “pizza cheese,” which is part-skim mozzarella used on classic American-style pizzas.
