Pizza is more than food; it’s a global sensation with a history as rich as its toppings. This iconic dish, adored by millions, has evolved from ancient flatbreads to the diverse, mouth-watering varieties we enjoy today. And right here at El Ridge Corner Shopping Centre, we celebrate this delicious legacy with Debonairs Pizza, a proudly South African brand serving unique and delightful creations.
A Slice of History
Pizza’s story begins in ancient times with simple flatbreads enjoyed by Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. But it was in Naples, Italy, where pizza as we know it took shape. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Neapolitan street vendors began adding tomatoes to their flatbreads, creating the iconic Margherita pizza in honour of Queen Margherita of Savoy.
Pizza Goes Global
Italian immigrants carried their pizza tradition to new lands, with the first U.S. pizzeria, Lombardi’s, opening in New York City in 1905. From New York’s thin crust to Chicago’s deep dish, pizza styles diversified, becoming a beloved staple worldwide.
