What was pizza before tomatoes?

Every thing started in Naples…

Naples is the birthplace os pizza, where by most accounts it looks its modern form in the 1700s, without tomatoes.

But the early modern Neapolitan pizzas of the 1700s were indeed for people on the street who were hungry and either had a little money or bought their pizza on credit using a Neapolitan pay-it-forward system.

Toppings included inexpensive local ingredients like olive oil, garlic, oregano, grated cheese, lard and salt.
