00:13Crispy Samosas turned out to be like snacks with tea.
00:16Biryani from all over the world has filled our stomachs.
00:20Now we need a dish that can quench our hunger.
00:31And that dish my friend is...
00:33Drumrolls...
00:34PIZZA!
00:39I am Ashish Atre and in this video of Nazariya
00:42we will learn about the cheesy history of pizza.
00:47So let's go!
00:51Tell me, what all ingredients are used to make pizza?
00:55Sauce, cheese, herbs, different types of toppings
00:59and most importantly its base i.e. flatbread.
01:03And this flatbread is our thread to the glorious history of pizza.
01:07So let's go with us.
01:09Thousands of years ago in Ancient Greece
01:12where these flatbreads are found
01:14topped with oil and flavorful toppings.
01:18These flatbreads were made from ground grain
01:21and in the recorded history of 5th century Greece
01:24these flatbreads were called Plankontos.
01:27They were either made on hot stones or in clay ovens.
01:30But if we consider these flatbreads as ancestors of pizza
01:34then we need to talk about Egyptians and Babylonians
01:37who changed the history of flatbreads with different toppings.
01:42For now, let's move on to the story of pizza.
01:44Throughout history, these flatbreads
01:46were seen as a poor man's dish.
01:49They were easily made and were also very affordable.
01:55Who made flatbreads into pizza?
01:57Italy!
01:58Industrial Revolution had come
02:00and Italy's unification had also taken place.
02:02The increasing hunger of the working class population of Naples
02:05was quenched by this pizza.
02:07With quick preparation, cheese, tomato and other toppings
02:10street vendors used to sell it.
02:13Despite this, pizza remained a common man's food
02:16miles away from royalty.
02:18But the story came to a climax
02:20when in 1889, Savoy's Queen Margherita
02:23expressed her desire to eat pizza.
02:26Then what happened?
02:27There was a ruckus among pizza chefs.
02:29Who will introduce pizza according to royalty?
02:32Famous pizza maker Rafael Esposito
02:35set such a patriotic standard for his experimental skills
02:39that everyone lost their minds.
02:41Esposito used green basil, white mozzarella cheese
02:45and red tomatoes
02:47to make a pizza
02:49that matched the flag of Italy.
02:51Madam Margherita liked this pizza so much
02:54that it was called Margherita Pizza.
02:57Rafael Esposito became known as
02:59the father of modern pizza.
03:02As soon as it reached royalty,
03:04pizza became an Italian delicacy.
03:06Neighboring Sicily and Rome
03:08experimented with different sauces and toppings in pizza.
03:13The Pizza Revolution in the United States
03:16Now let's come to my favorite pizza era
03:19American Pizza.
03:21Where Italian immigrants
03:22as soon as in the early 20th century
03:24through small homely outlets of pizza
03:27pizza became everyone's favorite.
03:30Along with that, there were a lot of experiments with pizza.
03:33Pizza became this blank canvas
03:35in which everyone started filling colors according to their own taste.
03:39From New York's thin crust pizza
03:41to Detroit's thick fluffy square pizza
03:44every region celebrates pizza in its own unique way.
03:49Domino's, Pizza Hut and Papa Jones
03:52have played a big role in popularizing pizza all over the world.
03:57Due to their style and commercial value
04:00they have made pizza a global phenomenon.
04:04Friends, Domino's stepped into the Indian market for the first time in 1996.
