When was Pizza Hut invented?

Answer 1

Pizza as a food has its roots in some Greek flatbread dishes, as later developed primarily in Naples (now Italy). The addition of tomato sauce came about a century after the first tomatoes were brought back from Central America by Spanish explorers.

The precise history of the pizza and its origin will never be known, but here is what we know about the Italian pizza history:

• The history of pizza goes back to the time of Virgil, who died in the first Century BC, but not before writing down a pizza recipe for posterity.
• Around 1000 AD the word "picea" started to appear in historical records in Italy , it was a circle of dough and the topped with a variety of fillings then baked. The word pizza came into common usage at about the same time.
• It was some time later before pizza became to be made from leavened dough, as we know it today. At the same time the pita type bread schiacciata was made.
• Towards the end of the eighteenth Century historical records show an early record of the "Calzone" it was rolled with the stuffing completely encased inside it, and it was then shaped like a crescent, and baked.
• The pizza as we know it today began to originate in Naples; they were flavored with oil and garlic, cinciielli (a small fish), or anchovies, and mozzarella cheese.
• Up to 1830 the pizzas were sold from Neapolitan market stalls. The first pizza restaurant was called Port' Alba. It had installed an oven fired by volcanic rock from Mount Vesuvius as these reach the high temperatures that help to make the best pizza.
• Salvatore di Giacomo, the Naples poet and dramatist, dedicated several poems to pizza.
• Alexander Dumas, the author of the three musketeers was inspired to write about pizza. Dumas referred to a pizza that was not eaten for eight days. However he had obviously never tried one. He mentions that it was called an "Otto", the Italian word for eight, but in this he got it wrong, it was eaten immediately but the baker got paid eight days later. There were still a few bakers in Naples that carried this tradition until the seventies and it is possible this tradition exits even today.
• " The pizza is a kind of stiacciati which is round in shape and made with bread dough, at first glance it looks like a simple food, but when examined more closely it looks more complicated". Dumas
• By the nineteenth century the pizzas in Naples were garnished with pork fat, oil lard cheese, tomatoes and tiny fish, surprisingly enough not the recipe for a winning pizza!
• The sixteenth century Bourbon Queen Maria Carolina loved the tri-colored green red and white pizza (the forerunner of the Margherita pizza) so much that she convinced her husband King Ferdinand IV to allow the pizzas to be made in the royal ovens. She had a problem because pizza as a food was associated very much with the peasants.
• No history of pizza would be complete without the classic story of the pizza Margherita. Modern pizza history was made in 1889 when Queen Margherita Teresa Giovanni, the consort of Umberto I, visited Naples with her king. Don Raffaele Esposito, who owned Pietro Il Pizzaiolo, was asked to prepare a special dish in honour of the Queen's visit. Esposito consulted his wife who was the real pizza expert and together they developed a pizza featuring tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. He named it the Margherita Pizza, after the city's guest of honor.
• Mozzarella is made from buffalo's milk and had never before been used to make a pizza. Ironically a cheese, basil and tomato pizza was already popular in Naples, but it did not have quite the same impact in the annals of pizza history .
• Baker's shops in Pompeii show evidence of flat breads that could have been amongst the world's first pizzas. If they are, they must qualify to be the world's most preserved pizza, enshrined in lava forever.

Answer 2

Pizza originated three thousand years ago from the ancient flat buns or pies cooked on scorching stones. It was the kind of 'pizza' consumed in the form of tin flat bun or pie, which was the first type of non-leavened bread eaten by humans. It was only after the discovery of yeast by the Egyptians that leavened flat buns were consumed. The term ' pizza ' comes from the Latin word ' pinsa ', which is the past participle of the Latin verb ' pinsere ', which means 'to crush'. Many civilizations living in the Mediterranean areas, such as the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans were used to eating flat buns or pies made from barley beans, water and different seasonings. Certainly these flat buns or pies can be considered as the 'ancestors' of pizza.

There were many origins recorded for the use of 'pizza' in ancient history. In ancient Egypt, flat buns seasoned with herbs were eaten to celebrate the birthdays of Pharaohs. In VII B.C., the famous poet-soldier Archilocus considered kneaded buns as the typical food for soldiers. The Greek historian Herodotus handed down several Babylonian recipes that were similar to 'pizza'. The ancient Greeks demonstrated knowledge of a wide range of foods, very popular and quite widespread, that can be considered as the archetypal versions of pizza. From the numerous historical testimonies given by Greek writers, it was understood that these kinds of pizzas were called ' maza '. In ancient Rome, ' placenta ' and ' offa ', the terms used to describe pizza prepared with water and barley, were used as the main cereal. At the beginning of the Middle Ages, the term 'pizza' was already widespread; however, several local words were used to indicate the kinds of 'pizza' that differ in taste or in the ways they were prepared. These 'pizzas' were well appreciated by aristocratic and popular people during the Middle Ages as well as the Renaissance.

Throughout the centuries, flat buns grew very similar to the kind of pizza that we have nowadays, the most well-known being mozzarella and tomato, which are the most typical and important pizza ingredients. Two historical events accounted for the introduction of mozzarella and tomato to Italy. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the invasion of Southern Italy by the Longobards (Germanic tribe ) led to the introduction of the heads of buffalo in Italy. Thereafter, buffalo's milk was used by local people to produce 'mozzarella'. The import of tomato from South America (Peru) and Europe was due to the discovery of the New World (America). Tomato was used in Italian cuisine, in particular the Neapolitan cuisine, where the traditional and famous pizza was born. It was not until much later that pizza found its fatherland and the starting point of its worldwide diffusion, Naples.

Pizza was one of the favourite dishes in the Neapolitan cuisine. Between the XVIII and the XIX centuries, the habit of eating pizzas started not only in homes and in the streets, but also in places where pizzas were made, the pizzerias . During the XVIII century, pizzas were baked in ovens (built from bricks or volcanic stones) and sold in the streets of Naples. Boys working in pizzerias (typical places where pizzas were baked) carried pizzas on their heads in the typical ' stufa' , a tin stove that kept pizzas warm. During the day, boys walked around the streets of Naples, selling pizzas baked with different seasonings and ingredients to those they met on the way, screaming at the same time in order to attract the attention of more people. Till date, certain traditional features, which include the oven-wood, the marble bench where pizzas are prepared, the shelf that stores different pizza ingredients, the tables where pizzas are served, the outer counter where baked pizza is kept to be sold to the passers-by, are still found in all the Neapolitan and Italian 'modern' pizzerias.

The first 'modern' pizzeria was established in 1780 in Naples by Pietro Colicchio. He named his pizzeria "Pietro e basta Così". After more than two hundred years, this pizzeria still exists, but it is renamed the "Ancient Pizzeria Brandi". Over the years, the management of pizzeria "Pietro e basta Così" was given to Enrico Brandi as Pietro Colicchio was without sons. In 1889, Raffaele Esposito (Enrico Brandi's daughter's husband), who was considered the best pizzaiolo (pizza maker) at that time, was invited to the Royal Palace of Capodimonte (in Naples), to bake pizzas for the King of Italy, Umberto I of Savoia, and his wife, Queen Margherita. King Umberto I and his Queen were guests of Ferdinando di Borbone, King of Naples.

Raffaele Esposito baked three different pizzas: pizza Mastunicola (cheese, basilicum and lard), pizza Marinara (tomato, garlic and oregano) and pizza Pomodoro & Mozzarella (tomato, cheese, basilicum), of which its colour recalls the Italian flag. The Queen appreciated and enjoyed the taste of the three different pizzas to the extent of thanking him in writing. Raffaele Espostio, in turn, thanked the Queen by giving her name, Margherita, to the pizza ' Pomodoro e Mozzarella '. The thanking in writing is still kept by the 'Ancient Pizzeria Brandi' pizzeria today.

Answer 3

Pizza was first created by the baker Raffeale Esposito in Naples, Italy. According to legend, Esposito wanted to create a kind of bread that would stand apart from all other kinds sold in Naples. He first experimented with adding only cheese to bread, then added sauce underneath it and let the dough take the shape of a large round pie. His creation was immediately a favorite, and Esposito was called to make a pizza for the visit of King Umberto and Queen Margherita of Italy in 1889. He made a pizza of three colors-white cheese, red sauce and green basil spices, to mirror the Italian flag and show his loyalty to his country. It was a hit, and he named his creation the Margherita pizza after the queen.
