Pizza is one of the foods for__13__we can hardly name a specific origin.Putting stuff on flat bread as a meal goes back as__14__as ancient Rome.The word “pizza” appeared just before 1,000 AD,in the area between Naples and Rome.

The word__15__is probably related to pita (圆面饼),so let’ s start with the crust.In ancient times,all bread was basically flat.In the Middle Ages,people started to put things on the bread and then ate it,kind of__16__what we today might call an open face sandwich.It wasn’t really__17__new way of eating-the bread was a sort of plate mat,to help keep the table clean during meals.Only the rich could afford plates,so a flat piece of hard barley bread on the table was used instead for people who were__18__poor to buy  plates.Some bread was specially baked for that purpose.After the meal,sometimes the bread was eaten,__19__sometimes given to the dogs.There are traditional pizza­like dishes in Provence where bread is topped__20__onions,tomato,anchovies and olives.In the Middle East,lahma bi ajeen(阿拉伯比萨饼) is a pizza base with minced onions,meat and flavorings.American pizza,which can now be found throughout the world,was invented in America in the 1950s.Italian immigrants brought pizza to the United States in the early 1900s.
