Pizza
Pizza (ピザ, piza) is a popular Italian dish. Initially, it was a fisherman's lunch, using only dough and tomato sauce; cheese was not used because it would become easily damaged.
Neapolitan pizza is small and thin, topped with tomato sauce, cheese, olive oil, and other ingredients, and baked in an oven. It is simple in appearance and bakes quickly.
As it spread to Rome, Milan, and other Italian cities, the number of ingredients was increased, and it was sold as a prepared dish in measured portions, giving it a distinctive regional flavor.
Pizza was introduced to the United States and evolved in its own way in various regions (New York-style, Chicago-style, etc.).
There are many pizza delivery chains, and their arrival in Japan has led some people to mistakenly believe that pizza is an American dish.
Most of the pizza delivery chains' pizzas are made with a thick, round dough topped with a variety of ingredients and sprinkled with cheese, and baked.
