CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIERECIPE

Pizza has been pleasing taste buds for a very long time. In prehistoric times,people baked large pieces of bread on flat cooking stones. Later, in Italy, theseflat pieces of bread were spiced up with herbs and called focaccia bread. Italiansstill love to eat focaccia as an appetizer or snack. This snack was handy becauseyou did not need utensils and it could be seasoned with extra scraps of food andfresh produce.When Europeans came to the New World, they were introduced totomatoes, which they then took back to their home countries. The people of

Naples, Italy were the first to put tomatoes on focaccia bread. People didn't wantto use tomatoes at first because they thought this delicious red fruit waspoisonous!

The world's first pizzeria, Port' Alba, opened in 1830. Pizzas were baked in anoven lined with lava from a local volcano! The first pizza delivery occurred in1889 when an Italian restaurant owner was asked to create a special dish for theguest of honor, Queen Margherita Terea Giovanni. He wanted to include thecolors of the Italian flag in his dish to honor the queen, so he added tomatoes(red), mozzarella cheese (white), and basil (green) to focaccia bread. Therestaurant owner named this meal the Margherita Pizza, using part of the guest ofhonor's name along with part of the name of his restaurant Pietro II Pizzaiolo.

The pizza was delivered to the palace because theQueen did not want to go all the way to the restaurant!
