  • Add a finishing touch to this recipe with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley after you remove it from the oven.

Did you know that in the early 18th century the pizza that was enjoyed in Italy, was similar to what we now call flatbread pizza? It consisted of a thinner crust that was topped with herbs, cheese, and vegetables like onions and mushrooms. Slowly this evolved into the pizza that we now know.
