In ancient Greece, the Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs, and cheese which some believe is the beginning of the “pizza”.

•In Byzantine Greek, the word was spelled “πίτα”, pita, meaning pie.

•A sheet of dough topped with cheese and honey, then flavored with bay leaves was developed by the Romans.

•The modern pizza had its beginning in Italy as the Neapolitan flatbread.

•The original pizza used only mozzarella cheese, mainly the highest quality buffalo mozzarella variant which was produced in the surroundings of Naples.

•It was estimated that the annual production of pizza cheese in the United States in 1997 was 2 billion pounds.

•The first United States pizza establishment opened in 1905 was in New York’s Little Italy.

In the Northeast they can tell you’re not from the area if you ask for a slice of ‘cheese pizza’. It’s just a slice of ‘pizza’, or ‘plain pizza’ at most. To them, it’s asking for ‘cheese pizza’ is no different than asking for ‘bread pizza’ or ‘tomato-sauce pizza’.

Perfect! I am celebrating the graduation of my latest college degree today and pizza is my favorite food! (OK, steak, etc. are definitely also my favorite foods, but pizza tops the list.)

Actually, after posting that, I thought the crust didn't really look all that good. Too hard and crunchy, as opposed to toasted and doughy.

I'm from the northeast (New Haven Coutny, Connecticut), and a plain apizza in New Haven can mean crust, sauce, and a sprinkling of parmesan (no mozzerella). So yes, if you are going to the top parlours, asking for a cheese (a)pizza is not redundant.

That’s a picture of what a real pizza looks like and I’m about to slice my monitor into eight pieces.

My pizza better have a helluva lot more on it than just cheese.
