Food of Neapolitan origin.

It consists of a flattened disk of bread dough, typically topped with olive oil, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese, baked quickly, and served hot. Pizza is eaten throughout Italy, with regional variations in toppings. Pizza came to the U.S. with Italian immigrants; the first U.S. pizzeria opened in 1905, and pizza became one of the nation's favourite foods after World War II. It is now popular worldwide.

▪ food
      dish of Neapolitan origin consisting of a flattened disk of bread dough topped with olive oil, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese, baked quickly and served hot. Pizza is now eaten throughout Italy—Roman pizza omits tomatoes from the topping and adds onions and olives; the Ligurian pizza resembles the pissaladière of Provence in France, with olives, onions, and anchovies.

      The popularity of pizza in the United States began with the Italian community in New York City; the first pizzeria appearing there in 1905. After World War II the pizza industry boomed; soon there was scarcely a hamlet without a pizzeria. In the United States sausage, bacon, or ground beef, mushrooms, peppers, shrimps, and even oysters are sometimes added.
