Comment on Google employees question execs over 'decline in morale' after blowout earnings
victorz@lemmy.world 4 months agoWhat did the original pizza look like then? Just bread and cheese? Or just bread? How far back are we counting? Originally pizza was just random wheat straws in a field?
I’m being a little facetious. 😇

The earliest record is flatbread with cheese and dates. But there has been all sorts. For a while, a common base layer was lard topped with herbs, then the cheese on top of that.
Even now not all pizzas use a tomato base. And I’m not just talking about American pizzas that use barbeque sauce or something, pizza bianca (“white pizza”) is a style that will forgo tomato sauce for olive oil, lard, or bechamel sauce.
If you think pineapple on pizza is controversial, I had a bechamel sauce and pear pizza in Naples. Kinda unusual.

Sounds delicious! Obviously not the pizza we’re all used to but I’d love to try. Interesting history as well.
