[quote=JETSETTER,433941]The history of a "type" of pizza dates back to 6th Century B.C. At the height of the Persian Empire, it is said that the soldiers of Darius the Great (521-486 B.C.), accustomed to lengthy marches, baked a kind of bread flat upon their shields and then covered it with cheese and dates. The ancient Greeks had a flat bread called plakountos, on which they placed various toppings, and Naples was founded (as Neopolis) by the Greeks. And Naples is the home of the modern pizza Originally a food for the poor in eighteenth-century Naples, pizza is a source of national and regional pride in Italy as well as of cultural identity. In the twentieth century, pizza followed Italian immigrants to America. I hope this helps[/quote]
