Pompeii archaeologists discover 'pizza' painting
Experts say the flatbread depicted in the 2,000 year-old fresco may be a precursor to the Italian dish.
Archaeologists in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii have uncovered a painting which depicts what might be the precursor to the Italian pizza.
The flatbread depicted in the 2,000-year-old fresco "may be a distant ancestor of the modern dish", Italy's culture ministry said.
But it lacks the classic ingredients to technically be considered a pizza.
The fresco was found in the hall of a house next to a bakery during recent digs at the site in southern Italy.

Pizza Hawaii
The only real pizza
Pineapple is native to South America, so probably not.
