Best Answer

When tomatoes were first introduced into Europe in the 16th century, they were thought to be poisonous and were only slowly and gradually accepted on the dinner table.

Even in the US, they were considered poisonous. Finally, in the late 18th century President Thomas Jefferson countered that rumor, when he started to eat them.

That probably explains the slow acceptance of tomatoes on Pizza.
