比薩餅
披薩（Pizza），是一種在全球頗受歡迎、發源於義大利的食品。披薩的通常做法是用發酵的圓麵餅上面覆蓋番茄醬，乳酪和其他配料由烤爐烤制而成。乳酪通常用mozzarella乳酪，也有混用幾種乳酪，包括帕馬森乾酪(parmesan), romano, ricotta 或 Monterey Jack等。
據統計，在義大利大約有20,000多間披薩店。全球最大的披薩連鎖店是必勝客。

[編輯] 歷史
歷史文獻中最早描述的類似於披薩的食品見於古希臘在那不勒斯的殖民地。維吉爾的《埃涅阿斯紀》的第七卷中寫到:







“
Their homely fare dispatch'd, the hungry band
Invade their trenchers next, and soon devour,
To mend the scanty meal, their cakes of flour.
Ascanius this observ'd, and smiling said:
"See, we devour the plates on which we fed."
”




“
家常的飯菜上來了，饑餓的一伙人
瞬間便將它風卷殘雲地吞掉。
東西真的太少，連麵餅也沒被放過。
阿斯卡尼亞斯看了笑著說：
「看，我們把盤子也吃掉了。」
”
公元前3世紀，羅馬的第一部歷史中提到:「圓麵餅上加橄欖油，香料和蜂蜜，置於石上烤熟」；以及「薄麵餅上面放乳酪和蜂蜜，並用香葉加味」[1]。在龐貝遺址，考古學家也發現了類似現今比薩店的房址。儘管上述的食品與今天的披薩很相似，然而現在披薩必須的兩種原料：西紅柿和mozzarella 乳酪，當時還沒有傳到義大利和地中海地區。
西紅柿是在16世紀由美洲傳入歐洲的。到18世紀晚期，這種放西紅柿的發酵麵餅已成為那不勒斯地區窮人的家常食品。披薩逐漸為人們所喜歡，甚至吸引外地的遊客專程前往品嘗。1830年前，披薩都是由攤販或比薩烤房在露天售賣的。這時期的那不勒斯出現了世界上第一家真正的比薩飯館：Antica Pizzeria Port Alba。

The History of Pizza
By Mani Niall
Roman soldiers tasted matzo and thought it lacked FOCUS (the Latin word for hearth). On a hearth, along with oil, herbs and cheese ... pizze was born ..

The root word in Latin is PICEA, which describes the blackening of the crust caused by the fire underneath.

The modern precursor to what we call pizza occurred in pre-Renaissance Naples. Poor housewives had only flour, olive oil, lard, cheese and herbs with which to feed their families, so combining them in a tasty and delicious manner became the goal. All of Italy proclaimed the Neapolitan pies to be the best.

Chronological history of pizza:
post Columbus - Tomatoes were brought back to Europe from the New World. Originally they were thought to be poisonous, but later became accepted and added to pizza.
