DID YOU KNOW
The first-ever pizzeria in the world is the Port’Alba in Italy.
Established in 1830, the store cooked their pies in an oven featuring Mount Vesuvius lava. The active volcano lies on the Bay of Naples.
Pizza only came to America in the late 1800s.
The food had been a staple in Naples for years. Italians started migrating to the United States bringing their flavor preferences along.
Pizza in America started on the East Coast.
The first areas to start commercializing pizza were Boston, Connecticut, New Haven, New Jersey, New York, and Trenton. Also, these places received the highest influx of immigrants from South Italy by the shift of the century.
The first pizzeria in the United States opened in 1905.
Italian-American Gennaro Lombardi started a mini-pizza business at his street-front shop in Manhattan. While the shop no longer stands in its original location, Lombardi’s is still operating.
A returning GI invented the gas-fired pizza oven in 1945.
World War II got American soldiers craving pizza from their service in Europe. It inspired GI Ira Nevin for his Baker’s Pride invention, allowing an easier and less-expensive way to bake and retail pizza.
Pizzas would only sell by the pie, exclusively.
It lasted until 1933 when Patsy Lancieri of Patsy’s Pizzeria, New York initiated the selling-by-slice trend.
Pizza ATMs debuted in the United States in 2016.
The first machine stands at Xavier University, Ohio, where it holds 70 pizzas. Customers can place orders on the touchscreen, which will then command the machine to heat then serve the pizza.
Pizza Hut made history as the first pizza chain to send a pizza delivery to space.
The pizza chain sent a 6-inch salami pizza via a Russian rocket to the International Space Station. Russian cosmonaut Yuri Usachov ate the pizza and took a photo.
The record for the biggest pizza in the world has a diameter of 131 feet.
Made in 2012, the colossal pizza tipped the scale at 51,257 pounds. The ingredients included 19,800 lbs gluten-free flour, 8,800 lbs mozzarella cheese, and 10,000 lbs tomato sauce.
