Pizza is an Italian dish known to all Americans. It's such a favorite amongst Americans; accordingly, America consumes 100 acres of pizza daily. Pizza curiously originated as a peasant food in the middle ages. At the time, tomatoes where thought to be poisonous due to it being a member of nightshade plant variety.
Peasants were so poor they used whatever ingredients they could find including tomatoes. Hence, the pizza was born. Considering its colorful history, it's no wonder why people keep trying on different and daring toppings with this flat pie. Let's take a look at some of the most interesting pizza flavors found in the US of A.
Sweet Potato Crust - This unique crust is the signature of Mr. Pizza in LA. They're also known for having potato wedges as a staple topping in some of their pizza flavors.
S'mores Pizza - Who knew that a campfire snack could work so well as a pizza topping? At Dimo's Pizza in Chicago, you get all the delicious s'mores goodness, on top of a mozzarella base.
Caviar Pizza - This luxurious pizza caught the internet's attention a few years back not only because of the uncommon topping but also because of its hefty price of $1000 at Nino's Bellissima Pizza. Unfortunately, Nino's Bellissima Pizza has already closed but their sister restaurants are still open for business. Pravda has a version of their own, for a considerable cheaper price of $18.
