The modern Pizza was invented in June 1889 by Raffaele Esposito, a Neapolitan chef who wanted to honour Queen Margherita of Savoy. It was the very first "Pizza Margherita", and was topped with fresh tomato, mozzarella cheese, olive oil and basil, to represent the colours of the flag of Italy.
The actual Word "pizza" is first recorded as early as the year 997, in Medieval Latin. The Word referred to a simple flatbread in Naples which was a snack for the Romans. This later developed into the pizza we have today.
