Is the origin for pizza Hungary or Italy?

While there are similar flatbreads with toppings in other cultures, the pizza as we know it today, with its specific dough and toppings, developed in Naples, Italy.

Here's why:

* Naples' history: Naples was a bustling port city, and its working class needed cheap, quick meals. Flatbreads topped with simple ingredients like tomatoes, cheese, and herbs were a perfect solution.

* The Margherita: The iconic Margherita pizza, with its red tomato sauce, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil, was created in Naples in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy in 1889.

* Popularity: Pizza's popularity spread throughout Italy and eventually the world.

While there are some claims that Hungary had influence on the development of pizza, these claims are largely unsubstantiated and not widely accepted by food historians.
