When you are trying to stick to a low-carb diet, pizza night can be quite the challenge. But you don't have to feel left out while your pals are gobbling down deep-dish crusts smothered in thick layers of cheese-y goodness.
A staple in many restaurants and a favorite in many households, breadsticks first appeared around the 14th century BCE in Turin, Italy. These hard, crunchy, pencil-shaped sticks had the consistency of crackers and would last for days. The trick was to bake them to the desired level of crispy-ness without burning them.
The debate over which is better: New York-style and Chicago-style pizza is probably as old as the pizza styles themselves. Many have tried to compare thin crust New York pizza to thick crust Chicago pizza and declare a winner. Many have failed. The discussion usually goes nowhere, as proponents of each city's signature style are equally passionate.
Even when it is bad, pizza's pretty awesome. And even when you hear about some of the strange things that have been put on pizzas, such as the seaweed and eel pizzas that are all the rage in Japan, you think: I might go for that. There are many pies that sound even crazier. Check through the list below. One of these weirdly delicious and unusual pizzas might just be your new favorite. Or not.
At its very core, pizza consists of three main items: sauce, toppings, and dough (or four, if you're like me and put cheese in its own category).
Amazingly, this simple mix of ingredients has mutated into hundreds of variations and created a $30 billion industry worldwide along with a cadre of pizza makers and chefs who have made perfecting this single dish their life's mission.
Like the opening credits of a film, or the theme song to your favorite show, the arrival of the antipasto tells you something special is about to start.
Italy's response to French hors d'oeuvres, antipasto is a combination of various small foods that are usually served before a meal. Traditionally, the antipasto is meant to stimulate the appetite and get the taste buds ready for the meal without over filling the stomach. The term was first used during the sixteenth century.
Ahh…brownies. Chocolatey, fudgy, soft and chewy, cakey, it really doesn't matter. There's just something irresistible about brownies. Some prefer crispy edges so much that there are special pans that create edges on every brownie. Others cut the edges off so that they're left with pure, gooey goodness.
Pizza can either be a healthy combination of fresh, tasty ingredients or a calorie-laden meal.
Don't misunderstand me; there's nothing wrong with either option. I love a good cheat meal every once in a while, just as much as I love a healthy treat. And if I can have both at once, even better.
Here's how to build your own pizza with a healthier profile and plenty of flavor.
What makes a pizza movie moment unforgettable? What makes it iconic?

Hailed (get it?) as one of the greatest recipes to originate in the Americas, the Caesar salad is the perfect companion to any pizza. As with many other crave-worthy cuisines, the Caesar salad is stunningly delicious in its simplicity, with origins that are surrounded in mystery.
