History - Pizza as we know it today (dough topped with tomatoes and cheese) was invented in Naples, Italy. Before the 1700s, flatbreads existed but were never topped with tomatoes — now a common characteristic of pizza. Tomatoes were brought to Europe in the 16th century by explorers returning from South America, but they were believed to be poisonous by many Europeans until poor farmers in Naples began to top their flatbread with it in the late 18th century. The dish soon became popular, with visitors to Naples seeking out the poorer neighborhoods to try the local specialty.
