Pizza is the name used to describe a flat, round bread that is baked in the oven and usually topped with a tomato sauce, meat, vegetables and cheese. The modern-day style was invented in Italy, but the dish has become increasingly popular in many areas of the world. Places that are known for making and selling this food item are called pizzerias. So many varieties are available.

The dish may be cooked in many different styles of oven. The ingredients are expected to range considerably based on preference of the maker or those consuming it. It can be served hot or warm. There are even people who like to eat it cold. Stromboli and calzone are variations of this recipe.

Pizza is a word that is derived from words in the Latin and Greek languages. The dish, as many know it today, was created in Naples, Italy and known as Neapolitan flatbread. Still, there are urban legends that exist suggesting the Pizza Margherita was first made in 1889.

At restaurants, the dish can be baked using one of the many different oven styles, including: electric deck oven, wood-fired brick, stone-brick, conveyor belt, and coal-fired brick. Less of these options are available for those cooking from home. In these cases, the dish is usually put on a stone and baked in a standard oven. Another cooking option is grilling it. This can be done on a barbecue grill. Both Chicago and Greek styles employ pans rather than placing it on the oven bricks directly.

The bottom half of this dish is known as the crust. It may vary considerably in its style and thickness. There is the thin type that is a standard, hand-tossed pizza, and Roman or thick, which is characteristic of a pan or Chicago-style dish. Typically the crust is plain, but it can also be seasoned using herbs and garlic, or stuffed with cheeses.

In the past, these only featured mozzarella for cheese. In fact, this was the highest quality cheese an it was produced in surrounding areas. Other types of cheese are used today. Processed kinds are common when it comes to mass production of this dish, as it provides preferable characteristics in terms of moisture content, stretchiness and fat, melting and browning. Ricotta, provolone, pecorino romano, and scamorza are examples of cheeses that may be used.

When it comes to toppings, the options are endless. Some prefer theirs with only cheese and sauce, with the belief that the best kinds do not need all the extras. Others like to include various meats, vegetables and even fruit to this dish. Some toppings that are commonly added to these dishes include, but are not limited to: anchovies, pineapple, ham, sausage, mushrooms, ground beef, olives, bacon, onions, peppers, artichoke, spinach, pepperoni, tomatoes, and seafood.

There are so many things to choose from when it comes to the modern-day pizza. This is a popular dish that has origins in Naples, Italy but has become an increasingly popular food choice in many other areas around the globe. There are different sauces, toppings, crusts and cheeses available. Furthermore, multiple styles and variations exist. The primary ingredients included with this recipe: dough, cheese and some version of tomato sauce.
