We eat many foods without even thinking of how these recipes were first created, and we eat our everyday foods like pizza in Encino, paying no heed to the development of these dishes over the course of hundreds of years. As this dish has an extremely rich history surrounding its development, it has spanned many cultures and time periods, and even now remains one of the most popular foods all over the world, with many regional takes and varieties on the dish. As breads were popular in the European area, and many cultures were topping their breads with oils, herbs, onion, garlic, and more, these decisive moves were some of the original ways in which the idea for pizza, as we know it today, came to be. As many different cultures in the Mediterranean region were cooking flatbreads and topping them with various types of herbs, oils, and other flavorings, the idea for flavorful topped bread became engrained in the psyche of these people and until some major changes occurred, things would remain relatively the same. When the New World was discovered, explorers brought back with them various things, including fruits like tomatoes. Before this, the tomato was unknown in these regions and the idea for a red sauce could not have been conceived. Even after the introduction of new ingredients, many people were of the belief that tomatoes were poisonous, like some other related plants. After the tomato was used as a topping on flatbreads, it became a staple and was found used in areas all over Naples as its popularity continued to grow. Having its origins as a food that was created among the poor, it became very popular and even attracted tourists into the poorer areas of the city. With so many variations of pizzas today, there are some pizza-purist pizzerias, that believe there are only two true styles of pizza which are the Marinara and the Margherita, and at these types of establishments, they make it a point to serve only these two types, to prove their dedication to serving authentic Neapolitan pizzas. There has been an organization founded that has specific regulations and rules in creating an authentic Neapolitan pizza, that is called the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. In the United States, there is less of a fuss about what is considered a true pizza, and there are many different styles. It seems here that as long as it involves bread, sauce, and cheese, you have already fulfilled the requirements. For the delicious authentic pizza in Encino, try Ameci Pizza and Pasta.
