In Italy—the birthplace of this iconic dish—the so-called *pizza al taglio* (literally "pizza by the slice") enjoys widespread popularity. Distinguished by its rectangular shape, thicker crust, and the option to purchase custom-cut portions, it represents one of the most ubiquitous forms of Italian street food, seamlessly blending time-honored flavors with the convenience of a quick meal.
Pizza is a story
Yeast cake with added oil, mozzarella cheese and basil, baked in a very hot oven, has been known since at least the 17th century. It was then that a dish was prepared in honor of the Italian queen, a dish that corresponds to the national colours of Italy, which is now considered the origin of pizza. However, poorer varieties of cheese with an added oil intended for most people can be found in ancient Greece and Egypt.
It's all kinds of pizza
Today, we can distinguish about 50 varieties of pizzas available in locations around the world. However, the basic varieties are unchanged in Sicily: individual regions of Italy specialize in making different types of pizza, although, of course, there are also other flavors. For example, in Rome, the specific pizza is Quatro stagioni, which is divided into four pieces, each of which has other additives. In Sicily, the main pizza is pizza with black olives, whereas in Sardinia, with onions. In Trent, however, the most popular pizza is a regular pizza with grilled onions, and in Apulia, the best-selling pizza is served with a sauce made from the fruits of the Italian cucumber, and the first pizza served in the Italian market as a pizza with a base of olive oil.

Pizza is ready
In order to get the best pizza quality, the flour used should be more bread than the cake. The cake should be made by hand or with a slow-spinning blender. When the cake grows, it should be formed by hand only, without the use of a roll or other mechanical tools. The thickness of the cake must not exceed 3 mm. The pizza must be baked for 6090 seconds at 485 °C in a tanned oak oven. However, after stretching the cake, it is good to spray it with a mixture of water and oil, to get a great, crumbly coating.
