The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. The first major innovation that led to flatbread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping. It was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomatoes to their yeastbased flatbread, and so the pizza began.‎ While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the pizza, it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples.In fact, a popular urban legend holds that the archetypal(原型的) pizza, Pizza Margherita, was invented in 1890, when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte asked the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita.Of the three different pizzas he created, the Queen strongly preferred a pie wrapped in the colors of the Italian flag：red(tomato), green(basil), and white(mozzarella)．Supposedly, this kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita.‎ Later, the dish has become popular in many parts of the world：‎ ‎■The first pizzeria, Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba, was opened in 1830 in Naples.‎ ‎■In North America, the first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 Spring Street in New York City.‎ ‎■The first Pizza Hut, the chain of pizza restaurants, appeared in the United States in 1958.‎ ‎■Nowadays, many varieties of pizza exist worldwide, along with several dish variants based upon pizza.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了比萨的历史起源。‎ ‎1．What’s mainly talked about in the text?‎ A．Ways of making pizza.　　 B．The history of pizza.‎ C．Varieties of pizza.
