When did we start folding pizza?
A great email landed in my inbox this week via the inbox of Slice founder Adam Kuban. Adam and I shoot questions to each other all the time but this one was particularly interesting because I had recently experienced a slice that helped inform my answer. Read onâŠ
QUESTION from a guy named LARRY: A twenty-something friend of mine tried suggesting that pizza-folding was a âfairly recent thing in New York. It started like in the 60âs.â After picking my 54 year old jaw off the ground, I questioned his intelligence and manliness, scoffing at his source: a Discovery Channel documentary from a few years back on the history of pizza.Â
Phooey, Iâm hitting a wall researching the subject, do you have any idea when pizza-folding started?
Hi Larry,
Great question and of course one that sorts controversy. Since old school NYC pizza joints like Johnâs, Lombardiâs, and Totonnoâs donât offer slices and pizzerias that opened after WWII generally DO, people often assume that thereâs a correlation between the timeline and pizza eating method. Gas ovens (introduced in the early 1940s) did make pizza by the slice a viable business option since those ovens are heated indirectly at a much lower temperature than their wood- and coal- burning brethren. Movies and TV shows of the 1960s forged the relationship between pizza by the slice and NYC, helping to spread the concept to other cities. So your friend certainly has reason for the theory. But thereâs more to the storyâŠ
I recently ate at a pizzeria in Casserta, Italy (photo above) that offered pizza al portafoglio, or âpizza in a wallet,â on their menu. Itâs a folded slice wrapped with paper eaten on-the-go. As you can see in the photo above, we were in a sit-down restaurant so there was no real need to serve the pizza this way. Itâs an homage to a local tradition honored by this famous pizzeria (Pepe in Grani). I have no idea when pizza al portafoglio started, but itâs clear that it folding pizza was commonplace in Naples before the 1960s. The 1954 film Lâoro di Napoli features an episode about a pizza maker (Sophia Loren), who serves pizza this way. Since itâs an entire pizza and not a single slice, this is referred to as pizza a libretto, or âpizza in a book.â
It doesnât show folded, but this 1858 etching titled âIl Pizzajuoloâ by Filippo Palizzi clearly shows pizza being sold by the slice by a street hawker. Iâve seen several similar images, all dated around the 18th and 19th centuries. Itâs very cool to see a food like pizza in the context of old documents like these.Â
Itâs easy to understand why someone might think folding pizza started in New York City. Most of Italy eats pizza with fork and knife, so it appears as though the tradition started after the dish left its native country. But we have to keep in mind that pizza is not necessarily Italian to begin with, itâs Neapolitan, and the culture of Naples is key to the understanding of pizza at its origin. Naples was an active port and one of the most densely populated cities in Europe at the time pizza was gaining popularity in the 19th century, but as a peasant food it was not often eaten by outsiders. Even today, the most common reason for visiting Naples is as a connecting point to go somewhere else (Capri, Amalfi, etc). Pizza was a street food enjoyed by the lazzaroni (peasants) thanks to its low price point. Itâs unlikely these people were eating a meal at a table with fork and knife. But because of their circumstances and the culture of Naples, this method was isolated until its resurgence a century later in New York City.
To sum it all up, people were definitely folding slices of pizza before post WWII NYC, but it was only happening in Naples and never achieved the status of compulsory eating method the way it did in New York City. So your 20-something friend might want to be careful about using television programs as historical references.Â

Hi, I just got started into being vegan today is my first day. I've alr eliminate almost all animal product from my life. I still don't get the food part. Can u gimme tips? I hope that u"ll post your daily intake if possible I can maybe copy :)
Hi, yo Anon! :)
Firstly; congrats on becoming vegan, thatâs a super huge step for anyone to make and itâs totally ok to âscrew upâ sometimes, âcause weâre only humans, so donât let that get you down! Youâre still doing a huge thing for the environment, animals and yourself :)
There are soooo many things you can eat on a vegan diet, let me help ya out:
I donât reaaally like to post my intake, but Iâll share with you the types of foods, just not the amounts:
Today Iâve eaten:
Chocolate soy milk with added B12
oats
natural peanut butter
banana
shredded coconut
lettuce
carrot
radish
flax seed
sesame seed
tomato
Veggie bullion
oat milk
couscous
cinnamon flatbread
soy vanilla pudding with added B12
mango
But if you are going vegan it is super important that you make sure you get enough of your nutrient such as Vitamin D, B12, iron, calcium and fatty acids such as Omega-3.Â
B12 is an important vitamin which is responsible for red blood cell growth and nervous system maintenance. The unfortunate thing is that you can only get from animal products - thatâs why itâs important to either take vitamins especially for vegan/vegetarian or make sure you have foods with added - like I have soy milk and vanilla pudding with added B12.
Calcium is important for bone and overall health. But when you take away your main source of it which is for many dairy products, you need to find yourself a new source. Calcium containing foods are:
chickpeas
kale
hemp milk
blackberries
oranges
broccoli
dried figs
enriched whole-wheat bread
calcium-set tofu
calcium-fortified soy cheese, orange juice, or cereal
But most likely, if you take the vitamins especially for vegan/vegetarian you will get your daily dose :)
vitamin D is something our bodies produce the bone-forming when we expose our skin to the sun - but for those who live in a more cloudy area with long winters or have indoor jobs itâs not as easy to get all your needed Dâs when youâre on a vegan diet(not always when youâre eating âregularlyâ either.) - again  if you take the vitamins especially for vegan/vegetarian you will get your daily dose.Â
But if youâre not, here are some things you can do/eat:
Make sure to spend some time outside almost every day to get at least some Dâs from the sun
Pay attention when youâre buying vegan/vegetarian products, many contain Dâs and itâd be a shame if you picked the ones without the added Dâs when you can buy those with added ones :)
Mushrooms contain vitamin D too
Fatty acids such as Omega 3 are healthful fats which helps with inflammatory diseases, decreasing the risk for coronary heart disease, lowering blood pressure, lessening the joint pain of arthritis, and protecting against dementia and depression.Â
Now, those arenât as difficult to get enough of as some might think they are. These foods contain fatty acids:
Veggie oils
Sesame oil
Coconut oil
Flax seeds
hemp
Different types of nuts
Avocados
Iron serves as an essential part of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in your blood from your lungs to every body cell.
Here are some tips to getting the iron you need:
Select a variety of plant-based iron-rich foods daily, such as legumes, fortified veggie meats, nuts and seeds, prunes, raisins, blackstrap molasses, fortified cereals and grains, kale, and broccoli.
Do not rely on spinach, beet greens, rhubarb, and Swiss chard for your iron. An acid in these veggies called âoxalatesâ binds with the iron, making it unavailable for the body.
Eat iron-rich plant foods along with fruits and veggies that are rich in vitamin C during the same meal or snack to increase absorption.
Use cast-iron pots and pans to cook your food, especially acidic foods such as tomato sauce. This will increase the amount of iron in your food.
Do not drink tea or coffee with your iron-rich foods. The tannins in the tea and coffee can decrease the absorption of the iron. Some herbal teas, such as chamomile, peppermint, lime flower, and pennyroyal, can also decrease absorption.
So yep, when going vegan you need to be fully aware of this and know your shit so that you donât feel like shit! Find a plan and stick to it and youâll feel just great! :)
Hope this helped! :)
