Question

    The History of Pizza

Today,  pizza  ( 披 萨 饼 ) is one  of  the  world’s  favorite  foods.  All over the world, people make different kinds of  pizza. 但是披萨饼起 源于哪里And  who made the first one ?

People  have  been  making  food  like  pizza  for  a  very  long  time. Thousands  of years  ago, some people mixed flour  (面粉) with water to ake  dough  ( 生 面 团 ). They  cooked it  on  hot  rocks.  People  covered  the  cooked  dough  with ifferent other foods, like onions, carrots and chicken. They had made the world’s first pizza.

Then  in  the  1500s   some  Europeans  brought  the  first  tomatoes  back   from  the  America. Tomatoes  are  necessary  in  making  many  pizzas  today.  At  first,  however,   most  Europeans thought  eating  tomatoes  would  make  them sick. So,  for about 200  years,  few  people  ate  them. Slowly,  people  learned  that  tomatoes  were  safe   to  eat,  as  well  as  delicious.  Later,  cooks  in Naples, Italy, started  the tradition of putting tomatoes  on dough. It soon became a favorite food there. In 1830, a cook in Naples took another  big step in the history of  pizza - he  opened the world’s first pizza restaurant.

Today, about five billion(十亿) pizzas are made every  year  around the world. In the United States alone, people eat about 350 slices(片)  every second. People may not know  it, but every piece is a slice of history.
