=== Description === Pizza as it is known today originated in Naples, Italy in the 18th or 19th century. Though flatbread was often topped with ingredients intended to make it taste less bland long before then, these creations lacked tomatoes due to their origin in the north-western region of South America. Explorers of the new world were so delighted and confused by the vegetable-fruit hybrid upon first discovery that they immediately imported tomatoes to Europe for further examination. When the tomato was finally brought to Italy, a mustached Naples baker in a tall white hat was so enraged by a debate with a customer as to whether or not the tomato was either a fruit or vegetable that he crushed one in his fist. Fortunately, the tomato juices flowed down his hand onto a nearby snack of flatbread with garlic, cheese, and basil on top, thus accidentally creating the world's first modern pizza. After tasting the creation, he immediately began selling them by the pie at an exorbitant cost. His wife would later go on to perfect pizzas by replacing the tomato juice with her own invention of tomato sauce, noting "it's just like my husband to discover something only halfway and be content with it." She then divorced him and began selling pizza by the slice, which some historians claim to be the world's first microtransaction.
