In 1984, an Indiana pizza shop owner established October as National Pizza Month in the United States. So how did pizza become one of America’s favorite foods? Records show that ancient Greeks and Romans cooked flat, round bread with various toppings. But Italian cooks perfected the dish by adding one key ingredient --- tomatoes. The delicious food began gaining popularity in the US after soldiers returned from WWII. While fighting in Italy, many had discovered the famous food. When they returned home, they took with them a taste for the delightful dish. Today Americans consume 350 pizza slices per second. Americans, however, aren’t the only ones who love pizza. People around the world enjoy its convenience and great taste. Not everyone likes the same toppings on their pizza, though. Australians enjoy kangaroo and crocodile meat on their pizza. The French like to have fried eggs on top of their pizza. Russians enjoy pizza with more of a fishy flavor, which is topped with onions and four different kinds of fish. In Scotland you can find deep-fried pizza served with chips, which are better known as French fries. What are some of your favorite toppings?
