If you want to know what a pizza is, take a piece of dough, roll it out, pummel it a bit with the flat of your hands, cover it with anything at all, moisten it with oil or lard, bake it in the oven and eat it.” That is truly a simple (and reasonably accurate) way to de- scribe a food that is today well known and fully enjoyed around the world. As the 19th century was coming to a close, pizza — pizza baked in coal-fired ovens that reached temperatures upward of 750 F — became as important to Naples as Sophia Loren was some 60 years later. The first known pizza shop was An- tica Pizzeria Port Alba in Naples. It opened in 1830 and is still open today. It was in the 1830s, and beyond, that pizza was being sold from stalls and eaten on the street with great relish from midday until the wee hours of the morning. Pizza, in fact, became the first fast foods known to man. In Naples, in the late 1800s, street vendors known as laz- zari walked the city’s streets selling pizza by the slice. A piece was folded in half lengthwise, and eaten on the run. The fold- ed slices were called libretti, or “little books.” To a pizza eater on the East coast, that same idea is known as a “folder.” Excerpt from “Home Base,” Pizza Today, December 2002 Winner for Week 1 Matthew Haddle RR 1, Dallas will receive a $35 gift certificate to the participating restaurant of his choice, courtesy of THE DALLAS POST Fun Pizza Fact: Some of the more popular international toppings are pickled ginger, minced mutton and tofu in India; squid and Mayo Jaga (mayonnaise, potato and bacon) in Japan, and green peas in Brazil.
