Introduction:
Indeed the first pizzas were Vegetarian or Vegetable Pizza as legend goes. The tomato pie and the tomato and cheese pie. Reportedly Queen Margherita thought pizza to be common food, not worthy of a royal.
Pizza has a long history. Flat breads with toppings were consumed by the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks ( The latter ate a version with herbs and oil, similar to today’s Focaccia). But the modern birthplace of pizza is southwestern Haly’s Campania region, home to the city of Naples.
The world’s oldest pizza was vegan. It didn’t take long for someone to change pizza marinara from cheeseless to cheesy. As six-two reports, that honor goes to Raffaele Esposito, who topped the pizza with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and basil in 1889.
Today we are going to know the ingredients and cooking process to cook a perfect vegetable pizza.
