November 12 Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day
Today day is November 12 Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day observed every year. The modern pizza had its beginning in Italy as the Neapolitan flatbread.
In ancient Greece, the Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese which some believe is the beginning of the pizza. In Byzantine Greek, the word was spelled “πίτα”, pita, meaning pie.
It was estimated that the annual production of pizza cheese in the United States in 1997 was 2 billion pounds. The first United States pizza establishment opened in 1905 and was in New York’s Little Italy.
A sheet of dough topped with cheese and honey, then flavored with bay leaves was developed by the Romans.
