Etymology
The word 'pizza' originated from Italian, with the first recorded use in 997 AD in Gaeta, Italy. It is believed to have been derived from the Latin word 'picea', meaning 'blackening of crust by fire'. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after World War II when American soldiers returning from Italy craved the dish, leading to the establishment of pizzerias across the country.
