Of course, it is no longer a secret how pizzas are prepared and how delectable they all are, but knowing how they existed can only add twist to the mystery. For guests, it would be quite interesting to know that before pizza became well-known, poor people in Naples first considered it as a much-preferred food. It used to be a peasant recipe created by "pizzaioli" (pizza chefs) who found it more convenient and affordable to add tomatoes on baked yeast that served not only as plate but also as bread. In fact, tomatoes were first said to be dangerous and harmful when it arrived in Europe. However, with growing prestige of pizza, tomatoes became a more important ingredient even for other treats. Pizza also became a part of the normal Italian diet as Queen Maria Carolina d'Asburgo Lorena enjoyed this so-called peasant food. Actually, is it said that pizza was created as early as the Stone Age, most likely by Greeks or Phoenicians, but it is in Italy that pizza became a legend.
