I'm a pizza lover. I don't think pizza originates from china bcoz I had visited china 4 times and each time I stay there for about 3 weeks. I had visited many places in china but I never see any pizza hut or any people selling pizza there.

Once i saw a documentary saying that pizza and actually spahgetti originated from china. Now if they dont have pizza resturants in china it does not mean also that they could not originated from. I mean China is a really old country with a old history..so who knows, mybe Marco Pollo brought back pizza to italy from China. :)

Yes pizza is originated from napoli. But the skills of making spagetthi is brought from China by marco polo back to Italy. It is even stated that when Marco polo visited China, which is the Yuen dynasty at that time, is attracted by a kind of food called 'mien tiao'. The skills of making 'mien tiao' is not completely learned by Marco polo and due to the complexity and the limitation of ingredients which is available in Italy, spagetthi turns out to be quite different from 'mien tiao'.

I knew Pizza did not originate from Italy. I've never heard that it's from China. I don't really know where the first Pizza was made. I will be interested to know.
