Pizzaz originated in Naples in the Italian peninsula, but in the 1st Century BC it was a Greek settlement called Neopolis. The Greeks are said to have baked the first pizza in round shapes and topped them with a variety of ingredients like meat, potatoes, olives and dry fruits. It was only until the 19th century that Raffaele Esposito experimented with sauces on pizzas and it became an instant hit in Naples. That’s how the modern version of pizzas are consumed where baked doughs are topped with a variety of sauces, cheese, olives, pork, ham and more.
