Pizza in Malta

The pizza we are familiar with today was born in Naples, with records of pizza dating back as far the year 1000. It’s derived from flat-bread, which has been around since ancient times. It became what we now know it as once the tomato was brought to Italy in the 15th or 16th century. 

Naples was home to the first pizzerias, which engulfed towns with the smells from their wood-burning ovens. Back then it was popular among the peasants and considered a poor man’s meal. It changed once the tomato was introduced around the 16th century and caught the attention of the King of Naples.

Pizza Pride

It steadily gained fame, becoming a nationwide phenomenon that travelled across continents and oceans. Bill Murray had said, ‘Unless you are a pizza, the answer is yes, I can live without you’. 

And he’s right. We can’t imagine our lives without the dish that has become such a staple food in our lives. Our go-to choice on cold, gloomy nights or lunching on a sun-bed by the sea! It’s a superbly versatile meal – ideal for every season and every person.

The Three Pizza Elements

You’ll find various styles and types of pizza in every corner of the world, that’s for sure. It rules supreme in the world of restaurants, take-outs and deliveries. Pizza is globally renowned, highly transferable and has grown into a billion dollar industry! We think that it’s worth all the hype, so long as it contains all of the three elements below in perfectly balanced proportions:

 

  • The Sauce: Most are tomato-based, but there are ones which don’t contain tomatoes and are known as white pizza, or ‘pizza bianca’. Each family in Italy will probably have their own ‘traditional’ way of making their tomato sauce, perhaps with their own unique blend of herbs and spices. And everyone knows the sauce must be proportionate to the base, enough to balance the flavours and provide deliciousness every time you take a bite.
  • The Crust: A pizza is all about the crust. It is the foundation that holds the pizza together and makes it what it is. It could impact the entire dish – it’s make or break. Whether you prefer a thin crust like that of the Neapolitan or New-York style pizza, or a thick one like a deep pan, it is ALL about the crust! You’ll find a variety in Malta, feel free to browse easily through our food delivery app!
  • The Cheese and Toppings: The final element! But perhaps, the most varied. The cheese you use is down to your preference. Of course, mozzarella is usually the first choice because it melts beautifully and has a mild taste. You can use anything from Provolone and Cheddar to Parmesan and Gorgonzola. After the cheese, you can go ahead and add whatever you like! You’ll find endless options around the island, so take your pick or create your own and select individual toppings.
