Facts About Pizza Infographic
Pizza is an Italian-style dish, usually made from fermented wheat dough, with a flat round bottom covered with tomatoes, cheese and various other ingredients (e.g. anchovies, mushrooms, onions, olives, pineapples, meat, etc.) and then traditionally baked at high temperatures in a wooden oven.
In Italy, pizza is available on formal occasions (e.g. in restaurants) without thin slices, but with knives and forks. However, on occasional occasions, it is cut into wedges and eaten by hand. A small pizza is sometimes called a pizzetta. A person who makes pizza is known as a pizzaiolo.
Anyone who says that money cannot buy happiness has clearly never spent their money on pizza. – Andrew W.K.
