But, today is national pizza day. So, I'll tell you a few things about Pizza.
If you don't know what Pizza is, I'm curious what your life is like and how you managed to avoid such a prevalent thing. But, the basic facts-- Pizza is bread covered in sauce, cheese, and your choice of toppings.
Pizza originates in Italy in 1889, where a guy decided to make a dish with white bread, red sauce, and green basil to symbolize the Italian flag. There were a dish called Pizza that was around before, but that was just cheese and bread and arguably doesn't count as pizza by today's standards.
In 1954, Pizza became a truly international dish with the creation of the Hawaiian Pizza, by a Greek Immigrant, in Canada.
In Japan, common toppings for pizza include mayonnaise, sweet corn, potato, bitter melon, and seaweed.
