Where can you find the best pizzas in Paris? It's a question that's sure to be on your lips! But first, a little history. The origins of pizza are rather obscure, but it seems that the ancestor of pizza appeared around 3,000 years ago. Back then, "pizza" took the form of unleavened flatbread baked on a hot stone.
Today's traditional pizza , with its tomato and mozzarella base, seems to have originated in Naples around the 18th century. Since then, pizza has spread and undergone a slow and complex evolution to become one of Europe's most popular dishes. So it's hardly surprising that it's one of France's top 10 favorite dishes!
Averitable mainstay of Italian cuisine, pizza comes in awide variety of flavors, from carnivorous to vegetarian, with truffle cream for those with a sweet tooth, and caters for all tastes and budgets - in Paris, you can find a margherita for €7 just as easily as a more complex pizza for €20. Quite simply, pizzamania knows no bounds, so why resist?
