Pizza is one of the best-known and widely exported Italian foods
and yet relatively little is known about its origins in the late
18th and early 19th centuries. Myths such as the naming of pizza
margherita after the Italian queen abound, but little serious
scholarly attention has been devoted to the topic. Eschewing
exaggerated fables, this book draws a detailed portrait of the
difficulties experienced by the then marginalized class of pizza
makers, rather than the ultimate success of their descendants. It
provides a unique exploration of the history of pizza making in
Naples, offering an archival-based history of the early story of
pizza and the establishment of the pizzeria. Touching upon issues
of politics, economics and sociology, Inventing the Pizzeria
contributes not only to the commercial, social and food history of
Italy but also provides an urban history of a major European city,
told through one of its most famous edible exports. Originally
published in Italian, this English edition is updated with a
revised introduction and conclusion, a new preface and additional
images and sources.
