In a wood fired pizza oven why does the mozzarella cheese burn?
I have been cooking pizza in a wood burning brick oven for several years and do not have a problem with the cheese burning and I cook at 800-900 degrees. However I only use fresh mozzarella packed in a brine or water solution. If you have been using low moisture cheese this may be your problem. Fresh mozzarella is more expensive but well worth it. Hope this helps.

Origins of Sauce and Cheese on Bread Crust (Pizza)
Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods and dates back at least to the neolithic. Records of people adding other ingredients to bread in order to make it more flavorful can be found throughout ancient history. The Ancient Greeks, for example, had a flat bread called plakous (πλακούς, gen. πλακούντος - plakountos) which was flavored with various toppings like herbs, onion and garlic. It is also said that soldiers of the Persian King, Darius the Great (521-486 B.C.) baked a kind of bread flat upon their shields and then covered it with cheese and dates, and in the 1st century BC, Virgil refers to the ancient idea of bread as an edible plate or "trencher" for other foods.
These flatbreads, like pizza, are from the Mediterranean area and other examples of flat breads that survive to this day from the ancient Mediterranean world are "focaccia" which may date back as far as the Ancient Etruscans, coca (which has sweet and savory varieties) from Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, the Greek "Pita" or "Pide" in Turkish . Similar flat breads in other parts of the world include the Indian "Paratha" , the Pakistani "Naan" and the German "Flammkuchen".
The Chinese Myth
For much of the 20th century, many Chinese erroneously believed that pizza was an evolution of Chinese green onion pancake, brought back to Italy by Marco Polo. Chinese opinions on pizza's invention often run along lines like this:
Marco Polo missed green onion pancakes so much that when he was back in Italy, he tried to find chefs willing to make the pancake for him. One day, he managed to meet a chef from Naples at a friend's dinner party and persuaded him to try recreating the dish. After half a day without success, Marco Polo suggested the filling be put at the top rather than inside the dough. The change, by chance, created a dish praised by everyone at the party. The chefs returned to Naples and improvised by adding cheese and other ingredients and formed today's pizza.
The belief has since been dissipated in places like Hong Kong where people have gained awareness of the existence of focaccia, but is still extremely prevalent in some areas of mainland China. The belief that pizza was invented in the USA is also still quite prevalent.

not exactly pizzas were first made in greece not exactly pizzas werefirst made in greece Pizza - in various forms - has been popular in most middle eastern and Mediterranean countries and everywhere else where bread is cooked and sauces are made, which is everywhere. Unused bread dough is flattened and spread with sauce, cheese, yoghurt or whatever else is available, baked in the bread oven, and served as a snack. There is no way to pin down the origin of pizza, but the most famous pizza - the Margharita - is recorded as being created for the then Queen. Well crisped bread topped with sugo, mozarella and basil gave it the Italian national colours of red, white and green. It went from a family or farm - read, peasant - snack to a snack fit for a queen, and never looked back. The name pizza probably originated from the middle eastern pita or pitta, hence the Greek reference. Nowadays, of course, we have gournmet pizzas covered in all kinds of things (someone offered me Thai curried chicken the other night with added bok choy and aubergine) but I still like to order the good old Margharita with extra pancetta and mushrooms! I do believe there is no excuse whatsoever for putting pineapple on pizza, and hesitate about the bok choy and eggplant, but that's just me. Only my opinion, and not to influence the taste of others, which would be a wrong thing to do. Go for the eggplant, the zucchini and the bok choy! Even go for the dessert pizzas, unknown in Italia, covered in sweet sauces and chocolate and fruit. All food styles migrate and we have no right to suggest they shouldn't. A chocolate pizza can be a wonderful thing.

Would Pizza be a heterogeneous mixture?
Pizza is a heterogeneous mixture. An easier way to show it is by taking a look at peperoni pizza. You can see the different parts and you can even take off the peppeoni if you want. It is most definatley not a solution because solutions are when you mix a solute into a liquid. For example salt in water, you cant see the different parts.

Which taste better pizza or hamburger and why?
both actually because they are both greasy foods and popular for humans to eat and enjoy
No! Bunnies are herbivores and they only eat vegitables and other things, pizza is unhealthy for them and it will clog their stomaches and intestinal tracks. Also the peperoni is too spicy and is also meat and they can't have meat. While you enjoy your pizza, give your bunny a nice carrot or something :)
1!! haha if theyre crazy mostlikely to be girls than about 3 or 4 people it would feed but if there is 4 pies it would usually last through 16 or more people if ur having a party i suggest that u get 4 or 5 pies
