How it all Began!

Pizza at first was just a big flat piece of bread made in prehistoric times. In the 19 th century, a man named Raffaele Esposito who lived in Italy, added ingredients and spices and invented… what we now call PIZZA!

The First Pizza DeliveryThe first pizza delivery occurred in

1889 when an Italian restaurant owner was asked to create a special dish for the guest of honor, Queen Margherita.

He wanted to include the colors of the Italian flag in his dish to

honor the queen, so he added tomatoes (red), mozzarella

cheese (white), and basil (green)The restaurant owner named this

meal the Margherita Pizza, using part of the guest of honor's name along with part of the name of his

restaurant –Pietro the man of pizza.

The pizza was delivered to the palace because the Queen did not want

to go all the way to the restaurant!
