A pizza da action

Pizza became globally popular due to its affordability and convenience after originating as street food in 18th-century Naples. The first documented pizzeria in the US, Lombardi's, opened in New York City in 1905. It gained international traction after World War II when returning soldiers sought the dish they had discovered in Italy, leading to rapid expansion by franchises like Domino's and Pizza Hut. The rise of car ownership and the expansion of fast-food chains made pizza a staple for quick meals and home delivery. The UKs first pizzeria opened in 1965 and supermarkets quickly got in on the act. Today, you cannot imagine life without it....
