The history of Pizza and its evolution
History books contain mentions of pizza dating back several centuries before the Current Era. However, their descriptions indicate that these early pizzas are only distant cousins to the modern-day ones. These days, pizzas are characterized by a flat bread-like crust with toppings, the most important of which are cheese and tomato sauce. The toppings are usually spread on top of the crust, which is baked in an oven, but they may also be wrapped inside the dough. The latter version is called a calzone. In addition to cheese and tomato, various types of meat and meat products, herbs, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms, root vegetables and fruit are also used as toppings. Finns have traditionally been divided into two schools of thought on whether pineapple should be used. The answer is yes, because pineapple is the most popular pizza topping in the country. After that come ham, kebab, blue cheese and pepperoni.Naples in Italy is the birthplace of modern pizza, and the Neapolitan pizza dynasties originate from the late 18th century. In fact, it was in Naples that they first started using tomato on pizzas, because before that this vegetable had been thought to be poisonous. People traveled long distances to taste these famous pizzas and still continue to do so today. At that time, the first restaurant to serve pizza indoors was also established.At the end of the Second World War, pizza started to become a global hit, as the American troops who were returning home took the recipe with them. Soon, a brand was created, making pizza the number one item on the menus of restaurant chains. The first pizza place in Finland was established in Hanko in 1961. Soon after the trend also spread to Lappeenranta and Turku. Since 1981, pizzas have been available in Finnish convenience stores as well, with new options continuously appearing.In Italy, the baking method, thickness of the crust and topping options depend on the geographical location of the restaurant. However, in Finland customers are lucky in the sense that they can choose a style from any region: they can select a thick crust, typical for pan pizzas, or a thinner Neapolitan one. Furthermore, the toppings could include reindeer meat. There is even a recipe for making the crust out of cauliflower.Pizza fits almost any diet, including a gluten-free and vegan one, which is why different versions of it are also popular for home deliveries.
