What do you do when you find out National Cheese Pizza Day is in September? You make pizza during an agriculture activity. Pizza is a world-popular dish of Italian origin, made with an oven-baked, flat, generally round bread that is often covered with tomatoes or a tomato-based sauce and mozzarella cheese. Pizza dough is made from wheat, one of Kansas' top agricultural commodities. Tomatoes grow well in Kansas' long, hot summers and are a popular item in our school garden, backyard gardens and farmer’s markets. Cheese is made from the milk of dairy cows.
Pizza first made its appearance in the US with the arrival of Italian immi-
grants in the late 19th century. Pizza was sold on the streets of Italian
neighborhoods in cities like San Franciso, Chicago, New York City and
Philadelphia. Gennaro Lombardi opened the first licensed American pizzeria
in New York City in 1905.
