Modern pizzas are what we see in the world. it started early in the 19th century this flatbread dish is called pizza. In A.D 997 in Gaeta ,Raffaele Esposito was the first man to create pizza it all started in Italy - the very first pizza was known as a pie and over time different toppings came around like pepperoni and more.
