Like many Swiss people, you love pizza to the extent that you consume it at least once a week! But if you think you know everything about it and have discovered all the flavors, keep in mind that you have probably not seen anything yet!
The origin of pizza dates back to antiquity, a period during which people heated baked bread and adorned it with various ingredients. It was only in the 16th century that the term "pizza" seemed to make its appearance. The dish was initially intended for the poor.
Thanks to the first tomato imports by the Conquistadors, pizza in the modern sense of the term developed and spread across Europe. Many, like Alexandre Dumas, became fond of it. The author was so enamored that he described the multitude of toppings.
He probably didn't imagine at the time that pizza would inspire chefs from around the world to offer a variety of shapes and tastes, as diverse and unusual as they do today.
Pizzas with surprising shapes and flavors
When we talk about pizza, we often think of the Neapolitan, Margherita, Country, Queen, Marinara, Roman, Four Seasons, Calzone, or even Four Cheese pizzas. However, there is a multitude of pizzas with various shapes and flavors, sometimes even surprising, to discover worldwide.
To start with extravagance, let's mention the Kit Kat and Dolce Mango Pizza available at Napoli no Kama in Bangkok, Thailand. If you make the trip, you will certainly be surprised by the strange combination on this pizza. The topping includes Kit Kat pieces combined with Gorgonzola sauce, mango pieces, all drizzled with maple syrup.
Perhaps more surprising in its shape than its taste is the hot dog pizza, with a base composed of cheese and chorizo pizza surrounded by a sausage roll crust.
Another intriguing pizza in terms of the shape it offers is the Super Cheezy pizza invented by the Pizza Hut chain. Its cheese-filled petals give it a beautiful flower shape.
Among the most astonishing pizzas, the Vulkan Pizza takes the top spot. Its original shape consists of compartments filled with pieces of meat, sauces, vegetables, and fries. It is described as "monstrous" both for its spectacular shape and the blend of flavors it offers. If you're curious, you can try it at the Nya Gul & Blå restaurant in Piteå, Sweden.
But if pizza is a sacred thing for you, it's better to stick to classics like those offered at Chez Mario!
