Italy may have developed the first modern pizza about 200 years ago. Today, the United States produces more varieties of pizza than Italy does. The standard pizza is the traditional Italian-style, which has a thin crust covered with tomatoes and cheese. But many cities also have their own special pizzas.

New York-style pizza has a much wider and thinner crust compared to Italian pizza. Its ingredients are usually limited to tomato and cheese. Any extra toppings are baked into the cheese. It is a common "street snack" and is usually folded to make it easier to eat while standing. Then there is Chicago's "deep dish" pizza, which is famous for being thick and heavy. Some may be as much as three centimeters deep. The ingredients usually include large amounts of meat, cheese, and vegetables. With this kind of pizza, one slice is a whole meal!

And finally, there is California-style pizza. It is a very light pizza with a thin crust covered with mostly fresh ingredients and good cheeses. The true California pizza is cooked using a wood fire. It often has non-traditional toppings like scrambled eggs, baby vegetables, and even flowers! Some recent combinations include pear and gorgonzola (a kind of cheese), and chicken with white garlic sauce.
