Pizza is an Italian food, made with different toppings, some of which are; vegetables, cheese, herbs, basil, sausages, tomatoes.
The reason pizza is so popular is because people like foods that are fatty, sweet, rich, and complex. Pizza has all of these components as cheese is fatty, meat toppings are rich, and the sauce is sweet.
Pizza toppings are also packed with a compound called glutamate (an amino acid that is produced in the body and also occurs naturally in many foods), which can be found in tomatoes, cheese, and sausage. When glutamate hits our tongues, it tells our brains to get excited and to crave more of it. This compound actually causes our mouths to water in anticipation of the next bite.
