5 amazing facts about pizza
- Food for royalty. We know that bread with toppings has been baked since ancient times, but pizza as we know it today was born in Naples, Italy in 1889. It was also there that its name was documented for the first time. King Umberto I and his wife, Queen Margherita visited Naples and to celebrate their visit, pizza baker Raffaele Esposito offered no less than three pizzas he created in their honor. The first two were not to the taste of the royals according to history, but the third pizza was love at first bite. A pizza with the colors of Italy represented - red tomato sauce, white mozzarella, and green basil. Esposito named the pizza Margherita in honor of the queen, and so a legend was born.
- The pizza is coming to Sweden. In 1947, Swedish industry is in full bloom, the machines are running at high speed and the industries are crying out for labour. A factory in Västerås employs 300 Italian workers who needed to warm themselves with something familiar in the cold Nordic climate. A restaurant that serves pizza opens next to the factory and the working week is saved for our Italian workers. However, this exotic creation on bread was nothing for the Swedes, who are said to have refrained from trying the unknown delicacy.
- Pizza consumption in the world. In Sweden, it is more or less mandatory to eat pizza on New Year's Day, and we have no less than 3,000 pizzerias in our long country. But compared to our Nordic neighbour, we come up short. Our Norwegian neighbors eat the most pizza per capita in the entire world! Around 5 kg of pizza per person each year. We can overlook that they have the less good taste to get pizza from the freezer isle, and instead applaud their pizza appetite. In total, we eat more than 5 billion pizzas in the world every year, wow!
- Pizza salad, a Swedish invention. Did you know that the pizza salad that feels as obvious as a Capriciosa on our pizza order is actually a Swedish invention? It is said that the restaurateur Giuseppe Sperandio of Pizzeria Piazza Opera came up with the side dish to keep costs down at his restaurant. If you are abroad and expect shredded white cabbage in vinaigrette for your pizza, you will probably have to look for a long time as the salad has not taken the rest of the world by storm in the same way as at home in Sweden.
- The world's most controversial dish? The Hawaiian pizza is perhaps not so talked about or controversial in Sweden, where it is an obvious feature on every pizza menu worth the name. But to Italians and many others, this creation is a blasphemy against noble craftsmanship. The pizza doesn't have much to do with Hawaii either for that matter. It's actually a Canadian invention. The Greek San Panopoulos ran a pizzeria in Ontario, Canada and decided to put pineapple on the pizza on day. If he knew what a debating monster he created there and then, he might have changed his mind, or not…
