Watch The Entire History Of Pizza

If you’re a lover of pizza, you’ll know that there’s so much history behind that cheesy bite. PBS Idea Channel created a 15-minute video chronicling the origins of all the different types of pizza around the world.

Different pies include Chicago’s famous Deep Dish, margherita pizzas, the pan pizza and even fast food pizzas. They also talk about the first pizzeria that opened in the United States and why cold pizza happens to be so delicious.

A History of Pizza in 8 Slices is definitely worth a few moments of your time.

We’d be surprised of you’re not craving pizzas by the end of this video.
