Pizza is a flat bread generally topped with tomatoo sauce and chesse and baked in an oven. It is commonly topped with a selection of meats, vegetables and condiments.The term was first recorded in the 10th century, in a Latin manuscript from Gaeta in Central Italy. The modern pizza was invented in Naples,Italy and the dish and its variants have since become popular in many areas of the world.
Pizza is sold fresh, frozen or in portions. Various types of ovens are used to cook them and many varieties exist. Pizza was brought to the United States with Italian immigrants in the late nineteenth century; and first appeared in areas where Italian immigrants concentrated. In restaurants, pizza can be baked in an oven with stone bricks above the heat source, an electric deck oven, a conveyor belt .oven or, in the case of more expensive restaurants, a wood- or coal-fired brick oven. On deck ovens, pizza can be slid into the oven on a long paddle, called a peel and baked directly on the hot bricks or baked on a screen (a round metal grate, typically aluminum).
