The Forever Changing Food.

Flat Bread, sauce, cheese, and toppings the basics of a widely known food : pizza. Where did this tasty treat come from? Not Italy where people first think so, but from Greece. Apparently instead of using tomato sauce, they used to use oil then topped stuff on top. But people did not stop changing this treat with just pasta sauce, there are much more additions to making them into sandwiches, putting on candy, making them wheat free, and much more.

So when did the tomatoe sauce on pizza come from? Even though pizza was a food for peasants, a chef made pizza for Queen Magherita of Italy adding tomato, basil, and mozzarella cheese to symbolize the colors of the Italian flag. Gradually, people kept adding new touches to the pizza for instance Bologna added meat, and Neopolitan pizza had garlic and other vegetables added to it. Pizza became known in the Americas after World War II.

In my cities public library, I was reading the book "This is why you're fat," and I saw an interesting picture of a sandwich made of pizza called the pizza burger which consists of pizza serving as the buns, slices of bacon, three types of cheese other than the cheese on the pizza, and a thick slab of sausage in the middle. Another interesting transformation of pizza is the "pizza cone"not a calzone (pizza folded over into a half moon shape) but an actual pizza dough in the shape of an ice cream cone with the pizza toppings in the middle.
