Life & English: "History of pizza"

Good morning everybody. Today I’m going to tell you about the history of pizza.

In 1889 Queen Margherita Teresa Giovanni of Italy visited Naples. The people of Naples made a special food for her. Pizza! It's made from flour, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. Pizza is an oven-baked, flat, round bread typically topped with a tomato sauce, cheese.

From Naples, pizza made its way around the world and became popular in many places. At the turn of the twentieth century, pizza went to America. In 1905, a person named Gennaro Lombardi opened an American style pizza store. This new style of pizza, which included many different toppings, quickly became popular in many countries of the world.

Now let's talk about Vietnam. Here pizza has many styles. Vietnam imports both the American and the Italian style of pizza. Normally we make pizza from meat, sausage, and tuna. More expensive pizza is made from pork and salmon. You can eat pizza anywhere, anytime. You can call the people at the restaurant, and they will deliver it to you right way.

Thank you for listening to me.
