Where Pizza Got Its Start

Pizza has long been the most successful food export in Italy, and has even gained popularity and its own different styles in the United States. The word pizza first appeared in 997 B.C. in Medieval Latin text. There was such a flat bread, which is the foundation of the pizza, that is mentioned in Ancient Greek texts called plakous, that was covered in herbs, garlic and other toppings such as these. The Persians under Darious also had a kind of bread like this that they would cook on their shields. Perhaps pizza didn't originate in Italy after all, but was perfected as it was handed down from nationto conquering nation over the ages.
