Who invented pizza?

Pizza is a popular dish that originated in Italy, but its exact inventor is unknown. The origins of pizza can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Egyptians, who used flatbreads with toppings for their meals. In Italy, pizza as we know it today, with tomato sauce and cheese, is believed to have originated in the city of Naples in the 18th century. The Margherita pizza, a classic tomato, mozzarella, and basil pizza, was invented in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy in 1889 by pizzaiolo (pizza maker) Raffaele Esposito. While the true inventor of pizza is unknown, it is a beloved dish enjoyed by people all over the world.
