- Ever wanted to know how Pizza became so popular? In this episode I chatted with Carol Helstosky, a professor from the University of Denver, about just that.
She wrote the book Pizza: A Global History, which you can buy right here:

So glad to see new episodes! Looking forward to more :)
I just found this channel throught the history of soda videos, and thought it was odd that it has so few subscribers. Then I noticed that it had no uploads for almost 3 years. But now apparently it's back. Please keep it up! your channel is amazing and your content is extremely good and interesting.
Thanks! Yeah, I took a bit of hiatus. I just wrapped up a second revision on a script for another video. Going to try and record it ASAP and then get to work animating. Hopefully more content in just a few weeks.
very underrated video. this channel deserves more subs!
Thanks!
Who’s eating pizza while watching this??
Me lmao
Me
😅
I just stumbled upon this. What a fantastic video. Also, thank you for pointing out how pizza is basically ancient as the idea of using bread as plates. I hope you keep making these videos and get really popular.
Thanks! Hopefully I can make more soon. Been busy
The things I look up at midnight 😂 .... I need to be sleep
Glad to see you making videos again
Thanks! Finished another script today. Got to do some revision then I will be recording it this weekend. Hopefully animation will only take a few weeks, but don't want to make any Valve-like promises.
Extremely informative content keep up the great work
Oh that part at 6:13 reminds me way too much of another map we have all been seeing for three months, and that's all I got to say about that. Wonderful to see you back in the video making business.
I ordered pizza for dinner tonight!
👏👏👏
congrats, let’s throw an entire ceremony just because you ordered a pizza for dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that what made you look up "the history of pizza 🍕?" Lol
That is just mind blowing.
I made pizzas 🍕tonight - FA17 a perfectionist 👑
cant belive this edited using only olive video editor
Yep! Maybe I'll post some pics of the timeline on the Olive Discord. I suppose I'll put Olive in the description of the video.
Pizza with olives
this vid is epic this is what I chose to do for my first research project 🤪 thanks
I wish we knew the name of the man who made the pizza for queen Margarita
Esposito

and now I'm hungry
Me too
Here before this place hits 100,000 subs
They used to say Marco Polo brought pizza back from China.
"[Italy] is really good at exporting its lives" sure is a way of saying no one wanted to live there
That’s it then 🍕
I’m having pizza for Christmas! 🎄
You will have 1 million subscribers one day
I hope so! I would love to entertain and educate more people (and make it a job, not a hobby haha)
maybe he would if he made more videos
I agree. Life keeps me busy on other things, but I should make more :).
@@Answerarchive damn i didn’t actually expect an answer, thought this channel was dead lmao
Not dead. Just asleep!
for the first time in forever 😂😂😂
Yep! Hopefully more to come soon. I'm in the midst of writing another script at the moment. Goal is about a month til next one, but no promises
What country was the first thing called pizza invented?
Italy. Or at least the Italian peninsula.
Thanks
Italy thank you
I am Italian and I have to do a social experiment with a foreigner: Pizza is made with cheese. true or false? Whoever answers well wins a cookie
Haha, true? I feel like I'm being tricked.
@@Answerarchive WRONG ❌ The real Italian pizza is made with mozzarella
And it has to be made with water buffalo milk right?
@@Answerarchive Right
@@giulio_0062 Mozzarella is cheese?
Same
It's not cheap anymore
1:01
If there is no tomato and cheese there is no pizza.
Non conosci le pizze bianche? Sei mai stato in Italia?
@@francesco7305 @francesco7305 White pizza? You surprised me!
I will definitely try it on my visit to Italy sometime in the future.
But sorry to say, if the white pizza is so good, why is it only staying in Italy? Does Italy have a monopoly on it or what?
@@Unknown-ow5xy White pizzas are so good: capocollo, mortadella, bresaola, ciliegini tomatoes, grana, burrata (if you want to stay with cheese) etc... I'm sorry, but we really don't care if they're not made abroad, we don't live to make foreigners happy. "Does Italy have a monopoly on it?". What kind of question is that? You are free to add whatever you want on your pizza, from pineapple to chicken.
@francesco7305 I asked if the Italy have a monopoly on it because I visited many pizzerias in the northern site of Europe and every pizzeria have menu what contains tens of different pizzas but not single one is without the tomato sauce. I always wanted to visit Italy soo when I will thanks to your comment first pizza what I will order will be white one. You got my word.
@@Unknown-ow5xy if these pizzerias are handled by italians, especially from naples, you will have the chance to find some white pizzas. Depends also on the availability of ingredients, which are typically local here. Otherwise they dont sell white pizzas because people outside of Italy just dont like them.
Pizza is best when I buy in Pizza Company.
Wazzup with the black boxes 😂
They are my plebs, and I love them very much.
@@Answerarchive lol funny look like brothas
Pizza 🍕 YUM!
I have pizzas at home for days forgot to eat it
Idk is it good still
Yes
Why are these refrigerators eating pizzas?
By refrigerators, do you mean my pleb blocks? The black squares?
@@Answerarchive yes. The black fridges. They're roaming around. Kicking dust and eating pizzas 😁
Well pizza is not cheap in Ghana 😂😂
I heard it's super expensive in Africa, I wonder why that is
A pizza in Sweden ain't cheap. A badly made margherita is at least €10
Where in Sweden do you live? 👀 In my part (Katrineholm) it's only about 6euro for a Margherita 7,5 for a kebab pizza
@@unoki99 lucky you! I've lived all around the lower part of the country.
Show me a kebab for that price 2022... It sounds made up!
@@teleespantoso oh my I'm sorry for you 😂😂😂😂
Tho you should see in Italy where I'm at atm (going back home in a week tho)
Margherita can range from as little as 4-5€
@@unoki99 wonderful!
Here on Hilton head island (South Carolina America) it’s 27.99 for a margarita pizza.
CHEAP? YOU SAY PIZZA IS CHEAP? HAVE YOU SEEN TODAYS ECONOMY???
It's Nothing to Invent Is just some Flat Bread and top it with whatever you have on Hand .Other Countries were Making it Long Before Italy.
you literally have very good videos but you don’t get any views :(
Well, more people watching and sharing always helps. Thanks for checking it out. More to come
Lies it was an ad
Still a cool vid
Here in Sweden it's kinda interesting. Even tho pizza hut and dominos DO exist, I have NEVER seen them. Here local pizza stores are wayyy more common and trusted. People build personal bounds with the owners and become common costumers.
For instance: my mom always had to introduce her new boyfriends to the pizza guy we always ordered from so that he could judge if it was a good guy for her or not 😂😂
We sometimes would get free pizzas or add ons without asking too
Naples was governed by The Borgia Family of Spanish origin. They brought to Naples a lot of things from explorers Spanish of Americas. Tomatoes one of them. You liar.
mmm yummy
Regular people: "pizza it's Italian"
Peeps with intelligence:
*knows pizza is Chinese, and Italians only added tomato sauce to it with seasonings*
the real humor is "cheap" these days
pizza niggaz
A pizza without tomato is just a Greek Pitza Pie. Greek Pitza. Which is just a flat doug with olive oil and cheese on top Cheese Pitza. The tomato was added to Greek Pitza (Pizza) by.. Spanish Explorers after they landed on Mexico where tomato sauces come from originally.
So pizza with tomato is not Italian.. It is Spanish Pizza because from Spain the explorers where the first one that added tomato to the Greek cheese Pitza. You been lied and fooled into believing pitza is Italian. It is another lie from them.
Ah yes the famous spanish pizza. Stop saying bullshit.
@@gabrielegrillo2329 Spain was the first to put Mexico tomatoes in mediterranean flat pies. Italians love to lie.
@@gabrielegrillo2329 Lets bet a few thousand dollars to that. Spain was the first to create the modern pizza by adding tomato sauce from their conquer of Mexico.
Italians didnt want tomatoes for many decades after SPANISH brought tomatoes to italy. History. You love Columbusing and lies.
People keep commenting about how you need more views. I wondered the same until i looked at your videos on your channel all next to each other.. your thumbnails suck.
Thanks? I tried to avoid making them too clickbait-y. May have gone overboard? I think it probably has more to do with the lack of consistency in release. If I put out content every two weeks I'm sure it'd go better but I have been working jobs and being a full-time dad for almost all of my UA-cam time, so I rarely get time to work on episodes. I will admit I only spent a little bit of time on the thumbnails
i really don't see anything clickbaity about his thumbnails
