Pizza is such a large part of the food culture in the United States. The&nbsp;pizza industry generated close to 50 billion dollars in the U.S for&nbsp;2024. It seems to be only growing each year. This presentation will talk&nbsp;about how pizza started in Naples, Italy in the late 19th Century and&nbsp;then arrived in the United States in the early 20th Century. Presenter Jason Love will also talk about his book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pizza-Journey-Family-Friends-Philadelphia/dp/B0FW54Q9YC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=7BKV2R7JR19O&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EdbPIUv41kpITiiX0R17QRR7TsZg17stOFJZU7vYrEzaTTKZzXrPOk0U0sHvoDFitaN4ug72_IS5iSsT0xYcpqWiWh8_-ibFzzB-G-OiVncYVZfMBVcdWAxWU73pEp0U84UKBY9DoAWK3QvilQMDAkVa1WKK1_vzok5El7IKgsJrt4oy76TDq0YvU2pSbrrluv1D7d5I5Nwv2bGH28vviN0DyXN7DnPjmTj3alyV_Qs.w305ubVcWi6uUGzD4gYsWjFLfkJOkvkiHfLiuSQ0h2c&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=a+pizza+journey+with+family+and+friends&amp;qid=1781288142&amp;sprefix=a+pizza+journ%2Caps%2C117&amp;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A Pizza Journey with Family and Friends</a>.
