The Journey of Pizza to the United Kingdom: From Naples to the World

Writer's picture: La CasaLa Casa

Pizza, one of the world’s most beloved dishes, has a rich history that traces back to Naples, Italy.

But how did this simple yet delectable creation make its way to the United Kingdom?




  1. The Origins of Pizza: 

    Pizza as we know it today has roots dating back to ancient times, where flatbreads were topped with various ingredients. However, it wasn’t until the late 18th century in Naples that pizza began to resemble the dish we recognise today. The classic Margherita, with its simple combination of mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, was created in honour of Queen Margherita of Savoy.


    Pizza in the United Kingdom: 

    Pizza made its first appearance in the UK in the early 20th century, but it wasn’t until the post-World War II period that it truly gained popularity. After the war, returning soldiers from Italy brought with them a love for Italian food, and pizzerias began to sprout up in cities like London and Manchester. The introduction of frozen pizzas in the 1960s further popularised pizza, making it a staple in British homes.


    Today, pizza is a household favourite in the UK, with millions of pizzas being sold every year. The variety of toppings and styles available reflects the diverse tastes of British diners, while the traditional Neapolitan pizza remains a firm favourite.

     Pizza’s versatility and comfort are key reasons for its popularity.
