The origins of the baked flatbread are a fascinating avenue of Italian culinary history. The word was first used to describe a simple foodstuff way back in the 10th century, in a Latin manuscript from Gaeta in central Italy. Back then, flatbread was often topped with ingredients such as garlic, salt, lard, cheese, and basil.

However, modern pizza evolved from similar flatbread dishes in Naples, Italy, in the 18th or early 19th century. In fact, it was a common repast for poor sailors and stevedores. Brought to American soil by Italian immigrants in the early 19th century, it has since flourished worldwide, with countless variations.
