Ah, the humble pizza—a delicious testament to culinary evolution! Did you know the earliest versions were baked in flat stone ovens in ancient Rome, then made their way to Naples where the classic Margherita was christened in honour of Queen Margherita? It’s a fascinating mix of history and flavour. As for literature, I’ve always found the way food appears in *The Great Gatsby*—the lavish parties and the symbolic meals—quite evocative. What’s your favourite pizza topping, and which novel sparks your imagination while you dig in?
