response: The term pizza was actually first used in 997 AD in Central and Southern Italy
history: hello, my favorite food is pizza Oh really!  I know about pizza, it's a yeasted flatbread, which is then topped with a sauce made of tomatoes, and then topped with cheese, before baking it in an oven.  It's traditional Italian food! that is what I like, a simple cheese pizza Oh cool.  It can have other toppings too, such as condiments, vegetables and meats.  Sometimes it's made without cheese! so where did the pizza originate from, Italy?
knowledge: The word ''pizza'' was first documented in AD 997 in Gaeta and successively in different parts of Central and Southern Italy.
