This book is a story of kings and queens, travelers and writers, actors and opera singers. But above all, it is a story of pizzaiolos and ovens, chefs and dough, and the narrow streets that share a common thread between the neighborhoods of Naples and New York's Little Italy. Why did a simple focaccia topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella become a favorite food for so many people around the world? How did it conquer the global market and give rise to a vast industry? And what impact did the mass emigration of Italians to America have on this? Drawing on travelogues and historical documents, Luca Cesari explores the social context of pizza's origins, deconstructs the legends surrounding this Neapolitan dish, and traces its transatlantic journey to international acclaim.

Luca Cesari is a journalist and gastronomic historian.
