I've seen it on numerous shows on Food Network, just google it and you'll find it somewhere.

NYC pizza is amazing and my favorite.........but, Italy knows how to make pizza.......its pretty delicious there. I won't get from a chain unless I am hammered and everything else is closed.

Considered a peasant's meal in Italy for centuries we cannot say who invented the very first pizza pie. Food historians agree that pizza like dishes were eaten by many peoples in the Mediterranean including the Greeks and Egyptians.

However, modern pizza has been attributed to baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples. In 1889, Esposito who owned a restaurant called the Pizzeria di Pietro baked what he called "pizza" especially for the visit of Italian King Umberto I and Queen Margherita.

The first pizzeria in North America was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 1/3 Spring Street in New York City.

oh and btw, India wins for grossest pizza hands down. They use ketchup instead of tomato sauce.......so nasty.

P-L just posted a link showing it was invented in Italy...

I always thought that was general knowledge, but I guess there's no limits to Americans' ethnocentrism.

Winner winner chicken dinner :D Man, I love the pan pizza from pizza hut, I usually get pepperoni lovers but the crust is amazing, I probably order at least a few a week, and being that spring break is here probably even more.


I really love Dominoes too when I get the thin crust, it just can't touch Pizza Hut's pan pizza.

Man I want some pizza now. What do you guys eat on yours? I usually get pizza sausage and jalapenos.

[VoteLynnSwan]

well according to wikipedia I am wrong. Pizza was invented in Naples... Wikipedia knows all so i concede defeat...

however lest we forget that without the Americas, Europe would not have had tomatoes, and therefore would not have pizza. HA! American ethnocentrism prevails again!

Well then I bow down to your knowledge. I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't believe it to be true...

Damn you Food Network, and your Lies!

I love Hawaiian, Sausage, Pepperoni, or meat lovers.

I usually get more cheese, sausage, hamburger, or bacon (mostly bacon)

that's where i had heard it as well... just another reason to not believe anything anyone on the food network says... Obviously not including Alton Brown who is the king of all food knowledge.

Here is how I rank em.

1. Pizza Hut: although I only eat there during their lunch buffet

2. Pappa Johns

3. Dominos: I only eat their Philly Cheesesteak pizza, which isn't really pizza imo. Which is good, because I would rank regular dominos pizza somewhere beneath tombstone and ellios.

Pizza in the form we all know and love is an American invention the origin of pizza its self is said to be either Chinese or Italian depending on who you talk to.

As for my fav fast pizza place it has to be

[I KNOW IT ALL]

I always liked Pizza Hut stuffed crust but I've only had it a few times. I'm a sucker for those unknown chains that every city seems to have hundreds of.

[Mr.Regular]

You know the Pizza Hut commercial where "They deliver the pasta!!!!!"?
Well next time it's on take a look after the 'big reveal'. There is tons of clapping noise but not one of the dinner guests is clapping. Drives me crazy.

On topic, I'd pick Dominos from there.

Uhhhh.... actually his link says no one knows who originally invented the pizza, just the modern pizza. Might want to read that again. But it's funny this debate comes up because two guys at my volunteer site were arguing over who actually invented pizza just the other day.

[VoteLynnSwan]

there is no doubt in my mind that Pizza Hut's pasta is terrible.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Oh and btw. My list goes something like this.....

1) Bellacino's
2) Pizza Perfect
3) Sir Pizza

[Matthew Jones]

I prefer Papa John's because of the garlic dipping sauce or whatever.

[VoteLynnSwan]

as far as pizza in Milwaukee goes, the best i've found (and i'm pretty convinced that this is the best i'll find in this city) is a place called Oakland Trattoria. It's across the street from Oakland Gyros, the best greek restaurant in the city. Those who go to UW Milwauke (i'm looking at you Yodachu) should at least know all about OG's

It is not god awful, it is eatable but still bad... I had pasta alfredo when my friends ordered it.

[j05son]

Wedgewood Pizza in Austintown Ohio is the best pizza I've ever had.

I hate all these chains but I will go with Papa John's being the best of those and the only one I'll order from.

[Vikes99ej]

**** man, just give me some Domino's.
