September 5 Cheese Pizza Day

Today day is September 5 Cheese Pizza Day is observed annually.
The modern pizza had its beginning in Italy as the Neapolitan flatbread.

There are hundreds of different pizza types and toppings, but they all originated with the classic cheese pizza. In ancient Greece, the Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese which some believe is the beginning of the “pizza”. You know that Americans eat approximately 350 slices of pizza per second.
In the 1800s, most Italians thought of pizza as a peasant meal. When a baker named Raffaele Esposito created a margarita pizza for visiting royalty. The king and queen were impressed by the colors of the Italian flag represented by the pizza's white mozzarella cheese, red tomato sauce, and green basil. Pizza became fashionable overnight and was soon a staple in restaurants all across the country.
