Katie 628 Report post Posted February 15, 2019 29 minutes ago, CoachWrestling said: I’ve never had their pizza, but if it’s good, it would be the only remotely positive thing to come out of New Jersey Pizza as we know it today began in Naples, Italy. However, before WWII, it wasn’t very commercialized there (or anywhere else in Italy) because it was considered to be a working-class dish. At the same time (before WWII) there were only a handful of pizzerias in the US. After WWII, however, American soldiers returning from the war brought back a taste for pizza. Fueled by the buying power of WWII vets, pizza exploded in popularity in the US, which subsequently made it explode in popularity in Italy. Today, as a purely subjective matter, I believe the best pizza is made in Italy. 1 gowrestle reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
