The History of Pizza Pie
The first known pizza shop was the Port 'Alba in Naples, which opened in 1830 and is still open today. The first pizzeria in North America was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 1/3 Spring Street in New York City.


And, if memory serves, the first pizza served in Naples was the Margherita.

Package Saver (for pizza & cake)
Have you ever wondered, "Who invented the circular thing that keeps the pizza from hitting the inside of the box top?" Well wonder no longer the package saver for pizza and cakes was invented by Carmela Vitale of Dix Hills, NY, who filed for US patent #4,498,586 on February 10, 1983, issued on February 12, 1985. Special thanks to Howard Olivier, owner of the Flying Pie Pizzaria in Boise, Idaho, for sending us the right answer.

Bluemoon says sushi is the reason God invented fire.

Her hatred of sushi is her only flaw.

Posted: 11/4/05 at 1:09pm

Not even silly sushi like Tempura rolls? (Actually, I love those...)

I think I've just decided I'm going to have sushi.

Or a salad.
