The history of pizza can be traced back to antiquity, where various cultures created flatbreads with toppings. Ancient Greeks made a flatbread called plakous, seasoned with herbs and oil, while the Romans had panis focacius, a flatbread that served as a base for various toppings. The first known use of the word "pizza" dates back to 997 CE in Gaeta, Italy, referring to a type of bread or pie-like dish.
