No one knows for sure, but we do have a line on the invention of the first modern pizza.

Most sources will confirm that pizza as we know it today made its first appearance in 1889 in Naples. According to folklore, the event happened when Italian royalty King Umberto I and Queen Margherita were paying a visit. During the trip, Esposito was tasked with preparing a special dish for them. The outcome was a pizza that was topped with a combination of mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes, and sprinkled with basil. To this day, that pizza is known as Pizza Margherita.

The difference is in the crust. If you’re in the mood for a crust that’s thin and flat, then you want to go with a hand tossed pizza. When you want to go with a thicker crust that has a fluffier texture, the pan pizza is the way to go.

Our pan pizzas have crusts that are at least an inch deep and usually a little more. They’re also spritzed with oil along the bottom of the pan before we bake them. The result is a crust with more of a golden brown look and a fried texture.

The first pizzas were simple creations that relied heavily on oils and herbs to provide seasoning for the crusts. Adding in tomatoes and mozzarella came later.

What we think of as pizza was already beginning to become a thing in the latter part of the 18th century, by most accounts. Early on, it was a type of street food. It’s still pretty easy to have a slice when you’re walking along a street.

We use insulated cases to keep the pizza warm while it’s on the way to you. After you have it in hand, the warming part is up to you.

It’s not hard. Slide the pizza, still in the box, into the oven and set it to a low temperature. We recommend the lowest setting found on most ovens – 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Feel free to grab the slices that you want and leave the rest in the oven. If you have any slices left over, refrigerate them to heat up the next day.

We’ll turn to the Guinness Book of World Records for this one. According to this source, the largest circular pizza ever prepared was baked in Norwood, South Africa on December 8, 1990. The Norwood Hypermarket created this pizza, which weighed in at 26,883 pounds. Would you like bread sticks with that?

Standard menu pizzas are priced. If you want to build your own, start by specifying the number of toppings that you want. We’ve already determined the cost to us based on what we pay to prepare the dough and sauces, and pay for the cheese, meats, and vegetables that we offer.

We begin with a price per ounce for each ingredient and topping. We then multiply that by the number of ounces it will take for the size of pizza that you want. Larger pizzas require more toppings, which means more ounces for each ingredient. We also factor in things like the costs of boxes, utilities, and other resources needed to make the perfect pizza.

Our goal is to offer the highest-quality pizza while keeping our prices fair and competitive. One look at our menu and we think you’ll agree that we hit the mark.

There are several names that can be used to describe this type of pizza. The most common ones in use today are white pizza and pizza bianca. While you can add any toppings that you like, a classic pizza bianca will have the crust of your choice topped with cheese, a selection of seasonings and herbs, and some type of chopped leafy greens like arugula.

This is another example where the main difference has to do with the crust. With a Chicago style pizza, you have a crust that’s thin, flaky, and deep. Spread around the walls of the pan and having a rich, buttery taste, this pizza looks a lot like what most people consider a traditional pie.

With a Detroit style pizza, you have a crust that’s thick and fluffy. Think focaccia and you get the idea. People who love more bread will delight in this choice.

Not sure which to choose? You can always go with an Italian style and have a little of both worlds.

Throughout the world, mozzarella is the single most popular choice for pizza. In the United States, there are estimates that indicate around 30% of all pizzas will use this cheese.

It’s not unusual to find mozzarella mixed with some type of cheddar as a way to preserve the chewiness. Provolone is also considered one of the top options for cheese when it comes to pizza.

Still, all about the crust. A Chicago style is flaky, thin, and runs up the sides of the pan, looking quite a bit like a traditional pie crust. The crust proper has a buttery taste that is sure to please.

A Detroit style pizza sports a crust that’s thick and has a fluffy texture. You’ll find that it looks and tastes a lot like focaccia.

A New York style pizza crust is unlike the other two, in that it’s flat and not running up the side of a pan. The crust is doughy on the inside and crisp on the outside. To some degree, the crust is fluffy like focaccia, and sturdy enough to pick up a slice and eat it without the aid of flatware.

Remember that if you are having trouble deciding among the three, there’s always Italian pizza to consider.
