But pizza was invented in Naples, Italy in the early 1800s. In those days,
Neapolitans needed cheap food because they were poor. So, they turned to
pizza - flatbreads with various toppings that could be eaten for any meal.
Judgmental, higher-class Italians considered pizza to be disgusting. Pizza
was considered a "poor man's dish, and shops wouldn't even sell it. So, pizza
was sold by street vendors who would add as many toppings as the buyer's
budget allowed. Often times. the toppings were simple - maybe garlic,
tomatoes, and cheese. And the size of the slice also was reflective of the
ability to pay. - correct answer pizza = the poor mans food
Tomatoes were brought to Europe in the early 1500s from the New World. But
for a long time, they were believed to be poisonous. But the poor people of
Naples added them to their pizza, since they otherwise had only olive oil,
herbs, and cheese to use. - correct answer tomatoes = poison?

Pizza was still a relatively unpopular dish and was only popular in Italy outside
of Naples. And when I say Italy, that's a fairly general term because Italy was
not a unified country at the time. Italy was a de facto extension of the Roman
Empire. But in 1871, Italy was unified as one country, and seven years later,
Umberto was crowned Umberto I, King of Italy. - correct answer pizza =
unpopular in italy ):
In 1889, King Umberto I and Queen Margherita visited Naples, and they were
tired of their steady diet of fancy French cuisine. So, they asked for an
assortment of pizzas while visiting Raffaele Esposito's Pizzeria di Pietro.
Raffaele whipped up several different pizzas, but Queen Margherita was
particularly fond of a pizza made with mozzarella, red tomatoes, and basil.
BTW, perhaps Raffaele intentionally chose the ingredients to mimic the colors
of the Italian flag. At any rate, the Queen was honored by Raffaele naming the
pizza - "Pizza Margherita." So, if you go out to a pizza place today and order a
Margherita pizza, you'll know how it got its name! - correct answer king
umberto and queen margerhita order pizza! marg pizza gets name from the
queen
