Do you know where pizzas come from?
The first ambiguous mentions of pizza date back to centuries before the Current Era. However, these creations were quite different from their modern-day counterparts, which are characterised by a flat bread-like crust and toppings, the most important of which are tomato sauce and cheese. Although toppings are usually spread on top of the dough before it is baked in an oven, they may also be wrapped inside the dough to create a calzone. Toppings include various types of meat, seafood, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, root vegetables and fruit. Finns are divided over the question on pineapple – does it belong on top of a pizza? Well, yes it does. Why? Because it is the most popular topping in Finland. Ham, blue cheese, kebab and pepperoni are also among the top favourites, but not quite as much loved as pineapple.Naples in Italy is highly praised for its pizzas. The first Neapolitan pizza dynasties were born in the late 18th century, and people would travel great distances to taste their creations, which for the first time in history had tomato on them. At the same time, the first pizza restaurant in Italy opened its doors, and thus customers were able to eat their pizzas indoors instead of at the traditional outdoor stalls.Pizza began to gain popularity in other countries at the end of the Second World War. Troops returning home introduced its recipe to America, and soon pizza became the new hit product of restaurant chains. The first pizza place in Finland was established in Hanko in 1961. The next towns to receive theirs were Lappeenranta and Turku. The first convenience-store pizzas arrived in Finland only a few years later in 1981 and soon became a common item.The toppings, baking methods and types of crust vary according to region. We in Finland, however, can freely choose between a thick pan pizza and a thin Neapolitan pizza and even use reindeer meat as a topping. Pizza is the most popular food for home deliveries in Finland, with vegan and gluten-free options also available.
