People thought tomatoes were poisonous for over 200 years. Then someone got desperate and put them on bread. And pizza was born. 🍅🍕🤯
Here’s the crazy 3,000-year journey of how pizza went from ancient flatbread to poor man’s meal to a queen’s favorite dish to a global obsession:
🍞 Ancient Egyptians and Greeks baked flatbreads in stone ovens.
🏛️ The Romans had flatbread with herbs, oil, and cheese.
🍅 Tomatoes arrived in Europe in the 1500s. Everyone thought they were poisonous.
🇮🇹 Poor workers in Naples put cooked tomatoes on flatbread because it was cheap.
👑 In 1889, a chef made a pizza for Queen Margherita with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. She loved it.
🇺🇸 Italian immigrants brought pizza to New York. Lombardi’s opened in 1905.
🌍 The rest is history.
