The Art of Neapolitan 'Pizzaiuolo'
The notion of flatbread has been existed for ages in ancient civilizations from Egypt to Rome. However, in the late 1700s, the Italian city of Naples is often acknowledged as the birthplace of pizza we know today (dough stacked with tomatoes and cheese).
Naples, the capital of the Campania Region, is the origin of Neapolitan 'Pizzaiuolo' art. It is a culinary technique that consists of four processes including the preparation of
dough and baking in a wood-fired oven with the baker rotating the dough.
Google estimates that five billion pizzas are consumed globally each year (350 slices per second in the United States alone).
