Food， as well as the way we eat it， is always changing. As society develops， we learn new ways of growing， processing and cooking food. Also， when people travel to live in other countries， they take their knowledge of cooking with them. And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes， too. One food that has done this successfully is pizza.

It’s widely believed that pizza first appeared in Italy in 1889. A man from Naples made a special pizza for the Italian royal family （王室）. He was very worried they wouldn’t like it， but they did. Since then， this simple meal of bread， cheese， and tomato has traveled the world， and it has adapted to （適應） local cultures.

Pizza began its journey in the1890s. At that time， many Italians moved to New York in search of a better life. There they continued to make pizza， and the first pizzeria （比薩餅餐廳） opened in1905.

At first it was only popular with Italians， but by the late 1940s， Americans discovered a taste for it. Today， Americans spend more than $35 billion a year on pizza.

Pizza continued its travels around the world， adapting all the time. In Sweden， for example， it is not unusual to put bananas on their pizza. Japan is a nation of seafood lovers， so not surprisingly， they love seafood toppings. In the Philippines， they like mango （芒果） on their pizza.

The popularity of pizza also has something to do with our changing lifestyles. In today’s super?fast society， people often don’t have time to cook. So， they order takeout and very often， it’s a pizza.

Pizza has come a long way. From its beginnings in an Italian city， it has grown to be one of the world’s favorite foods.
