Pizza as we know it today is an Italian invention, but the word pizza is Greek from pita, because if you think of it pizza is basically and was initially flat bread. Turks also have a variation of the word called pide. Naples where it originated from is also Greek for New City. I just don't know whether flat bread is a Greek invention, or we took it from Egyptians or Persians🤗❤️🇬🇷🇮🇹

[@TheMacedonianBackBreaker]

You guys did probably adopt bread from Egyptians but eventually you went on to make your distinct Greek flatbreads. None the less Greek cooking is actually super delicious and you guys make nice food.

[@marcobozzini9253]

@@LadySamurai88 The correct pronunciation is "Espòsito" (The narrator in this video kept saying "Esposìto")

I was in Italy…and they all said the American Italian Immigrants made pizza first and brought it back (when Espizito made his pizza from American ideas).

Actually, The Margherita Pizza made with tomatoes-basil-mozzarella existed way before 1889. When Queen Margherita came to Naples, Raffaele Esposito just served her three different kind of pizzas, among which there was also the tomatoes-basil-mozzarella one. Queen Margherita liked it a lot, and noticed the resemblance with the italian flag. And that's how that kind of pizza was named "Margherita". :)

[@robertletson7849]

I have personal evidence that pizza originated in USA, First, in late 1960s I went to Godfathers Restaurant in San Diego and asked for a pizza. The Italian waiter said "We serve only Italian food. Pizza is not Italian. Pizza was invented in America." Second, in 1970s, my neighbor, Ann Pelstring, insisted that her father invented pizza in Chicago where he cobbled it together so he could eat while cooking lunch for customers. Ann made a copy of her father's invention and gave me a slice; it was very thick with vegetables (onion, tomato, peppers, cheese, sausage). Customers wanted to eat what the cook was eating. I guess that it had no name, so he said, in a thick Italian accent, "You wann-a piece-a?".

Around year 1520 Spanish Explorers added tomato sauce from Peru and Mexico o the old world Pitza Pies.-- Repeat the Italian lies, dummies.. Basic Pizza is Greek, if tomato on it.. It should be called, Spanish Pizza.. or at least.. AMERICAN PIZZA, due tomatoes are from The Americas Mexico where Spanish put tomato sauce on Pitza Pies.. American Pizza is the best. Italian pizza is bland and boring. Went there, could not wait to come back and get away from bland food..

[@raffaeleirlanda6966]

"Pizza" does not mean "pie"... Pizza is a pizza. Pie is a pie.

[@raffaeleirlanda6966]

@DragonBurn 3 Not quite correct. It has same origin as Pita (pita gyros) Piada (Italian Piadina Romagnola), or even piatto (it has many meanings: dish, food dish, or flat surface)... But in italy we have a tradition of flatbreads with other names Focaccia for example, and Sicilian Sfincione (that are the closest flatbreads similar to Pizza), and Florence Schiacciata, that is a Flatbread just used as... Bread! Incidentally we have also pizza pie quiches (pizza con le scarole), because in Italian language there is not a name for a quiche so we adapted the name Pizza for a different dish, and Farinata (that is a focaccia made with chickpeas instead than wheat flour), a relict of prehistoric ages when human beings made flour by mincing any kind of seeds... Etcetera...

Pizza was 'invented' by ancient Greeks, pre-dating Italy. They used wood fired ovens of varying sizes with olive oil, goat cheese, and crushed tomatoes and spices. This has been documented in ancient texts. The pizza box, however, was invented by the Italians.

[@SyriaVeteran]

Ok... so to settle argument... In italian pizza "apparently meaning (pie)" Greek "sumi" bread, "pita meaning (flatbread)" Za or sa can be used for "sauce" Therefore pizza = sauced bread If we consider the hellenic influence of Italia Greeks by language alone are the inventors and therefore lawmakers of pizza "not Italians (who are out of touch with the roots of their culture) I will be sure to eventually make a video that explains this through cultural and culinary history. 😉 Anyway "greeks" or helenes invented "pizza" not Italians ❤ #comeatme

[@iinvisible]

It was invented by Italians, but with greek influence. Not by greeks.

[@iinvisible]

We have different cultures for different regions. Italy is a fairly young country.
