Eggplant and Mushroom Mini Pizzas Bring a Very Ancient Food Combination to the Future. Although most believe that pizza was created in Italy, the idea actually originated in Egypt in the 6th century BC. There is evidence of a popular food among Persian soldiers, who put date paste and melted cheese on flour flatbreads. However, the modern concept of “pizza” emerged 2000 years ago in Naples, a province located in southern Italy. This food consisted of placing tomato sauce, cheese and vegetables on a thin disk of dough, which was cooked in a wood-fired oven.
