Understanding Pizza


Pizza is a baked dish built around dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings, but its styles, methods, and meanings vary widely from one place to another. It grew from older flatbread traditions into a global food shaped by migration, local adaptation, neighborhood shops, and major international chains.
