Pizza was a type of Human food, originating as an example of Italian food, that consisted of a square or circular piece of dough covered in tomato or other sauce, and cooked with numerous toppings, the most common of which was cheese. Other popular toppings included pepperoni, mushrooms, anchovies, and sausage. The finished pizza was cut into wedge-shaped slices or squares. A pizza parlor was a restaurant that specialized in pizza.
