Pizza And Its Flavors

The origins of pizza creates quite the debate. A recent archaeological discovery has found a preserved Bronze Age pizza in the Veneto region. By the Middle Ages these early pizzas started to take on a more modern look and taste. The peasantry of the time used what few ingredients they could get their hands on to produce the modern pizza dough and topped it with olive oil and herbs. The pizza has quite the history!

Pizza is a culinary delight, and has been for years! Whether it’s a Friday night on the couch, or a high class restaurant, you’ll find pizza on the menu! Such a diverse dish for any occasion, below is a description of the types of pizza:

Neapolitan. Normally cooked in a wood-fired or brick oven, good Neapolitan pizza emerges with an extremely thin, bubbled crust. Slightly charred areas will offer hints of bitterness to offset the sweet-tangy flavor of tomato sauce and the licorice flavor of julienned basil. Scattered pieces of fresh mozzarella accent, rather than cover, the tomato sauce.

A Neapolitan pizza is never served by the slice, and rarely comes out pre-cut. The New York style pizza is like the Neapolitan one, while it is larger in size and the toppings on it are more, because it’s often consumed by more than one person, while the Italian original pizza is eaten by a single person only.

The Hawaiian pizza is in fact not from Hawaii, however is extremely popular in places like USA, Sweden and Australia. It’s a standard pizza with pineapple and ham topping. It is fast becoming popular through Europe.

No one would have ever predicted the popularity of pizza when first introduced to places like USA and Australia. Arguably and generally accepted as originally from Italy, and introduced to the rest of the world, pizza has become a favourite and gourmet dish for much of the population. Dressed up or down, the pizza is a taste sensation!
