Mostly through research, pizza originated from Italy. The word pizza is thought to have come from a latin word, pinsa, which mean flatbread. By 997 it had appeared in Medieval Latin, and in 16th century Naples (a city in Italy), a Galette flatbread was referred to as a pizza. Galette is a general term used in French to refer various types of flat, round or freeform crusty cakes. Other countries also spoke that pizza is discovered by them, so there is no questions on variations of pizza flavor. Margherita, Tuna Delight, Pepperoni, Super Supreme,BBQ Chicken, they are all pizza flavors. So what is the best pizza flavor? You will be the judge of that. All of this talking must have made you all hungry, so take your phone and order up a pizza or you even can make your own. I have also given you pizza recipes links.
