Pizza
Pizza is originally an Italian dish. It is the most common food in North America and Europe. But it is the most famous food in all over the world. The chef who makes pizza is called pizzaiolo. The traditional pizza is made in a wood fire oven with flattened bread, with lots of cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, a pinch of oregano and herbs, capsicum, and lots of other things. Pizza is the only food that more than 100 type and lots of history related to that. I have given some types in the below:
1.Neapolitan Pizza
In the 18th century, Neapolitan pizza was made Naples, Italy. It is the original and oldest type of pizza in the world. At that time, it was the only food that was affordable and as well as tasty. The pizza was made of sliced mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and oregano.

2. Chicago pizza
By the name, we can understand that this type of pizza was first invented in Chicago. This pizza was invented by the immigrant Italians who wanted to invent a food like Neapolitan pizza which looked like a pie. It was made of ground beef, mushrooms, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, pepperoni, sausage, onion, and placed underneath the tomato sauce.
