Pizza in Kostroma during quarantine
Since these days in my city measures are being taken to curb coronavirus infection, cafes and restaurants are not working normally. From Monday, cafes with verandas or open air spaces may be open. If the distance is kept there and if people follow the precautionary measures, then the cafes will start working again.
But now you can use the delivery mode. Those. You can order takeaway from a cafe or restaurant. For example, one of the most frequently ordered products is pizza!
Pizza - this is the very favorite Italian fast food. If we consider pizza as slices of bread with a topping on top, then pizza appeared so long ago that traces are lost in history. Somewhere in ancient Egypt there was already something similar. Ancient Greeks already baked something very similar not modern pizza. Greek ancient pizza was called plakuntos.
It was a dough cake, on which cheese, olives, onions were placed and then baked. What is not pizza?
The word pizza was discovered in texts of the 10th century. If several versions of the origin of the word. Starting from the consonant phrase “a piece of bread” and ending with a version of the origin from the word “crush”.
Pizza in Italy has always been poor peasant food. The cake was baked directly on the coals and on top of it layered pieces of the filling - all that was available.
There were usually two main tastes. The first is onion and garlic. The second is cheese and vegetables.
Please note that the appearance of tomatoes in Italy is already the beginning of the 16th century. This was facilitated by the era of great geographical discoveries and the expedition of Columbus, who brought tomatoes from America.
The beginning of the enormous spread of pizza around the world and the gaining of global popularity begins with one event.
One of the court chefs in Italy, a certain Rafael Esposito, prepared a pizza for the royal reception in Naples at the request of Queen Margarita of Savoy.
The chef cooked several pizzas, one of which he made in the colors of the Italian flag with cheese, red tomatoes and green basil. Since then, the victorious procession of pizza around the world began.
Every city in the world makes pizza. And everywhere it turns out in its own way. By the way, I used to think that real Italian pizza is something very unusual and that you won’t be able to try such pizza at home. But as it turned out, even in Italy, pizza is very different. I remember that one morning I tried pizza in a cafe next to the leaning tower of Pisa. It was one of the tastiest pizzas I've ever eaten.
But in Italy itself there were such delicious pizzas that I became a fan of Italian pizza forever.
In my city in Russia there is also an Italian restaurant. And there they also cook pizza. I hope that the restaurant will open soon and will work as usual, but for now you can call and order pizza there.
In this restaurant called Pinocchio, they tried for a very long time to make pizza delicious. At first it turned out they were very dry. They tried, corrected the recipe and in the end the pizza came out as tasty as it should be.
I am glad that we have a place in Kostroma where you can buy and try delicious pizza.
