Please note: no pineapple. Those of us who fight against the pineapple-on-pizza atrocity are upholding ancient tradition

Many ancient cultures, particularly those of the Near East and around the Mediterranean, had flat breads as part of their dietary regimen.

What an amazing still-life! Looks like it could have been made during the Renaissance!

“Ancestor” of pizza? That looks like the real deal. Look at that big, puffy, crunchy crust! And all the needed toppings and sauce are sitting next to it.

Near the Fresco was a sign written in Italian: “15 minutes or it’s free!”

I'm surprised they didn't show this famous Pompeiian mosaic of a couple of pizzaiolos at work.

“Your pizza delivered to you in 30 minutes or its free!”
(offer void after sunset when time can’t be measured!)

2000 years ago... they had advertising 2000 years ago...

A fresco that depicts what might be an ancestor of the Italian pizza has been found on the wall of an house in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy's Culture Ministry said on Tuesday.

The clue was the Alfresco sauce.

Ah, the Romans! Who considered beer barbaric and throwing Christians to the lions to be fun family entertainment. Pizza's too good for 'em.

And when I get to be Emperor pineapple on pizza will be mandatory! MUHAHAHAHAHA!!
