Flat breads have been used as a palate for toppings and stuffing for much longer than "pizza" was ever thought of. Unleavened breads have been around since ancient Egypt.
By the 1700s, it was common for the poor people in Naples Italy to add tomatos or tomato paste to their flatbread to make an early form of pizza. This dish became more popular in the late 19th century when Queen Margherita made a tour of her Italian kingdom. She noticed peasants eating a large flat bread and was curious about it. Rather plain for her taste, the queen ordered Chef Rafaelle Esposito from Naples to visit the palace and make her some pizza. Rafaelle topped the pizza with tomato (red), mozzarella (white), and basil (green) to represent the three colors of the Italian flag. This became the favorite pizza of the queen and Pizza Margherita is still popular throughout the world. Various topping were used depending on the regional produce and Pizza soon spread to England, France, Spain and America in the mid twentieth century. Many European and American soldiers fighting in World War II tasted pizza for the first time and were delighted with it. More styles and flavors were developed.
Although pizzas have been around for a long time (some say over 2000 years) the origin of the name is unknown. Some guesses are:
