Did you know?
- The term pizza actually traces its roots back to the Byzantine Greek word píta, which described any type of flat bread or pie rather than a specific cheese and tomato dish.
- In Spanish, pizza is an 'unadapted borrowing', meaning it keeps its original Italian spelling and sounds instead of being changed to fit traditional Spanish phonetics.
- If you were to translate the brand name literally to describe a 'hut made of pizza', you would say choza de pizza, but no one uses this to refer to the company.
