Who invented pizza? Some people believe that pizza originated from China. Marco Polo, the famous Italian traveler, liked to eat a popular northern scallion pancake when he traveled in China. When he returned to Italy he always wanted to be able to taste it again, but didn't know how to bake it. One Sunday, he and his friends gathered at home. One of them was a chef from Naples. Marco Polo had an idea and called the chef to his side, describing the chive pancake in northern China like this. The chef also enthusiastically made it according to the method described by Marco Polo. But after working for a long time, I still couldn't put the filling into the dough. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon and everyone was already hungry. So Marco Polo suggested putting the stuffing on the dough and eating it. Everyone applauded after eating. After the chef returned to Naples, he made it several times and paired it with Naples cheese and condiments. Unexpectedly, it was very popular among diners, and the pizza has been spreading since then.
