It’s fun to know a little bit of history about the “Pizza Love”
Pizza culture in Australia can be seen embedded in our multicultural identity. European migrants came to Australian shores in the mid to late 19th century in search of gold and work. In the 1920s, slowly but steadily, pizza had begun to become a part of Australia’s food culture; however, mass migrations of Europeans took place post-World-War-2 between 1950s and 1960s, which witnessed Aussies craze with pizza really burst.
In the year 1961, Toto’s Pizza House opened its door in Carlton-Melbourne and become the country’s first dedicated pizza restaurant (a traditional, modern Italian pizza place). From that time on, continual cultural crossovers have seen the modern Australian pizza develop into something fabulous, containing ingredients from around the world that have come together to craft something that’s both distinctive and cosmopolitan.
Let’s now come to the top 6 pizzas that are popular among the Aussies, which you’ll find in most of the pizzeria.
